FedExCup No. 5 Sepp Straka has withdrawn from the BMW Championship due to a private family manner and will not play the second and penultimate event of the FedExCup Playoffs.

"For personal reasons, Sepp is unable to play this week. He intends to compete at the TOUR Championship, but requests privacy at this time as he attends to a family matter at home,” Straka's manager, Butler Melnyk, said in a statement.

By nature of his FedExCup ranking, the 32-year-old Straka will mathematically qualify for the TOUR Championship. There are no alternates in the postseason, so the BMW Championship will have a 49-player field.
