The final PGA Tour event before the FedEx Cup Playoffs kick off is underway in Greensboro, North Carolina, at Sedgefield Country Club as golfers attempt to make their final run at a playoff spot.
The top 70 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings will punch their tickets to the FedEx St. Jude Championship next weekend, leaving plenty of incentive for many golfers to give their all this weekend. However, one of those who appear to be safely into next weekend's event just dropped out of the Wyndham Championship.
Pierceson Coody, who currently sits at No. 53 in the FedEx Cup standings, abruptly withdrew from the Wyndham Championship following the first round.

The PGA Tour's communications department did not specify a reason for his departure from the tournament, simply stating that he withdrew prior to the start of the second round.
"Pierceson Coody WD prior to the second round of the Wyndham Championship," it said.
His decision to withdraw came after a brutal start to the tournament in the first round in which he fired a six-over, 76 to sit 15 shots off the lead and near the bottom of the leaderboard. Only Vince Whaley, who shot a 77, had a worse score after the first 18 holes of the event.
