So a playoff between your player and a generic CPU-player should be no problem, and a playoff including a PGA Tour player like Fowler, McIlroy, etc. should be no problem since they're officially in the game.

If it's just a matter of taking out the names of players who aren't depicted in the game, it seems simple - after all, who cares if their name is on a leaderboard if they aren't in the game anyway? And if the trade-off is not having a pretty key feature of tournament play, I can't imagine that's even a consideration of which to include.
Because I wouldn't want to play a game where I'm chasing Joe Shmo on Sunday. The leaderboard has to be real for it to feel like a PGA event. I just don't get why they can't give you someone's score and then let you play the playoff.
