Rory Mcilroy Pulls Out of The RBC Heritage Tournament on The PGA Tour
Posted : 18 April 2023
The PGA Tour announced the third-ranked player's withdrawal without providing a reason.
The 33-year-old Northern Irishman, who was making his seventh try to complete the career Grand Slam at Augusta National, fired rounds of 72 and 77 to miss the cut at the Masters last week by two strokes.
One of the PGA Tour's designated tournaments is the RBC Heritage.
Only one designated tournament may be skipped every season by players in the top 20 of the circuit's Player Impact Program (PIP), which was developed to reward players for increasing involvement and visibility in the PGA Tour.
McIlroy had skipped the Sentry Tournament of Champions in January to start the season.
This second absence may possibly lose him PIP bonus money, which is given out at the conclusion of the PGA Tour season and brought in £7.5 million for McIlroy in 2022.
Jason Day, a former world number one who was in contention at Augusta, has also withdrawn from this week's competition.
Even though McIlroy only won one of his four majors in 2014, winning the Masters would have made him just the sixth man to win the men's career Grand Slam.
He entered the competition with four PGA Tour victories under his belt in the previous ten months, and many people predicted that this would be the year he finally attained golf immortality.
After failing to make the halfway cut, McIlroy rejected all post-round interviews.
