    Looking at PGAtour.com, he's listed on the final leaderboard as DNS but Mickelson, Paddy and Sergio, who also didn't play, are not. Is it because Tiger is injured?
    If so, does he get last-place money?
    No big deal just curious.

    i read that because he is injured, he is officially entered, gets last place money, but that money does not count toward the season-ending money race... I might not have all that correct

    i assumed that was the deal, but i think today is the first time he has been listed on the full leaderboard. I'm not sure Dougie Ferguson has had that as a note this week.

    Perhaps Travis Perkins, J.L. Lewis and John Daly should make more fuckin' birdies.

    Daly would just blow it on chicken wings, booze and hookers.

    There's no big deal about this. If there is a limited-field tournament with no cut, anyone who was qualified for the tournament but was injured (and provided medical evidence) got the last-place money.

    No, not a big deal at all. I'm just not sure everyone knew the rule, hence the original question. I wasn't aware of the rule myself.
