Jim Furyk was disqualified from The Barclays tournament for missing a pro-am tee time Wednesday.

The tournament is the first of the FedEx Cup series and begins on Thursday.

He was scheduled to tee off at the pro-am in New Jersey. However, he was unable to wake up for his tee time. He said that his cell phone, which had a set alarm, did not work.

Furyk explained to reporters: “I don't know if something happened with the charger or what, but I never got it. I just tore out of there, threw a pair of pants on and a shirt -- still have no belt, no socks and my shoes are untied—and actually got in the locker room at 7:35, but I guess I had to be on the tee.”

According to PGA rules, missing a pro-am tee automatically merits a disqualification unless there are certain emergencies involved.
