Casey changes pre-Masters schedule to attend friend's funeral

PALM HARBOR, Fla. Paul Casey has decided to re-arrange his schedule leading into the Masters after the recent death of a close friend.Casey was planning to make next weeks Arnold Palmer Invitational his final start before the seasons first major, a decision that would have meant his absence at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. But after losing his friend after a lengthy battle with cancer, he withdrew from Bay Hill and will instead fly back to England Monday to attend the funeral.Its all gone kind of up in the air, Casey said after an opening-round 70 at the Valspar Championship. Now it only gives me one week off before the Masters and a lot more travel, but it is what it is. Life gets in the way sometimes.Caseys original scheduling decision was based on a variety of factors, including his desire to play blocks of tournaments in a row because his caddie, John McLaren, commutes back and forth from England for Caseys PGA Tour starts. But the Englishman also cited some of the incentives added to next weeks stop in recent years.

To be honest, API, theyve cranked up their purse and theyve got a three-year exemption. That gets guys attention, Casey said. We very rarely talk about money out here on Tour, but its not a massive difference between a first-place check at Bay Hill and a first-place check in Austin. So thats a factor.Last year Marc Leishman earned $1.566 million for his win at Bay Hill, while Dustin Johnson took home $1.66 million for his victory in Austin.But with an impromptu trip across the Atlantic now on the books, Casey will instead make a fourth straight trip to the match play event, where he was a runner-up in both 2009 and 2010 when the tournament was played in Arizona and featured a single-elimination format.
