Simpson has said from the beginning it was not clear who will travel to Royal Lytham & St Annes because his wife, Dowd, was expecting their second child. The British Open begins Thursday.
Simpson was not immediately replaced in the field. Two points are this weekend, so the field of 156 players. If both are not full, Ben Crane, would be to first alternate.
