PARAMUS, N.J. — Jim Furyk, the world’s #6 golfer, has been disqualified from The Barclays this weekend for missing his 7:30 a.m. EDT tee time for Wednesday’s pro-am. Professional golfer, Jim Furyk, is rated #6 in the world.
Furyk said that he overslept Wednesday after his cell phone alarm clock lost power overnight which caused him to be late for his pro-am tee time in The Barclays. Due to a PGA Tour policy on pro-ams adopted in 2004, PGA Tour officials had no choice but to disqualify him.
