After seven consecutive seasons of finishing inside the top 100 in the FedExCup standings, missed the Playoffs for the second year in a row with a career-worst 196th-place finish in the FedExCup. Made three of nine cuts on the Korn Ferry Tour and played in the Korn Ferry Tour finals, where he finished No. 106th on that money list. Will play out of the Past Champion category for the 2015-16 PGA TOUR season.

• Sanderson Farms Championship: Season highlighted by a T4 at the Sanderson Farms Championship, his first top-10 since a solo-sixth performance at the 2013 FedEx St. Jude Classic.

2014 Season

Made the cut in half of his 28 starts, two of which resulted in top-25 finishes (Waste Management Phoenix Open/T19 and John Deere Classic/T23). Finished 60th in the priority ranking, 10 spots behind the 50th and final card issued. Finished the season at No. 164 in the FedExCup standings to miss the FedExCup Playoffs for the first time. Attempted to regain his exempt status for the 2014-15 PGA TOUR Season via the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, but failed to do so. Best outing in the Finals came at the season-ending Web.com Tour Championship, where he finished T11.

2013 Season
