Not a good start for the FedEx Cup. News came out today that Tiger Woods will not be playing in the first ever FedEx Cup match. The Barclays is the first tournament in the 4 tournament playoff for the PGA Tour. Tiger leads the FedEx Cup standings by like 100,000 points anyways, so he can probably afford to take the week off and still win the damn thing.

But you know this type of stunt has to piss off Commissioner Finchem. Tiger said all year long that he supports the FedEx Cup and that he would play in all the events. However, today Woods said on his Web site that “I have said all along, my intention was to compete in all four PGA Tour Playoff events, including the inaugural Barclays Classic. But the truth is, I’m just not ready.” He then added, “My body is spent and I need a short break.”

Hopefully Tiger is telling the truth and not just trying to snubb the PGA Tour.
