Sepp Straka withdraws from BMW Championship: No. 5 golfer in FedEx Cup standings to miss second playoff event
Sepp Straka, the No. 5 golfer in the FedEx Cup standings, has withdrawn from the BMW Championship, the second event of the PGA Tour's playoffs. The 29-year-old Austrian cited personal reasons for his decision to skip the tournament. Straka, who won the Honda Classic earlier this year, is currently fifth in the FedEx Cup points race, putting him in a strong position to qualify for the season-ending Tour Championship. The Tour Championship is the final event of the PGA Tour's playoffs and will determine the overall FedEx Cup champion. While Straka's absence from the BMW Championship is a setback, he hopes to return to action at the Tour Championship, which is scheduled to take place from August 24-27. The top 30 players in the FedEx Cup standings will compete in the Tour Championship, with the winner receiving a substantial prize and the title of FedEx Cup champion.
