seemingly another instance of a player whose ranking is close to a cutoff not caring enough to stick around.

Seems to me there is an entirely different way to frame this: another instance of a player who knows his own body and game well enough to know that he needs to rest now to have a chance to advance.

If you look at the guys who play every week on tour, you'll quickly note their rate at making cuts and the lack of top 10s.
