Rory McIlroy is almost certain to miss next week’s Open Championship after announcing Monday that he has a “total rupture” of a ligament in his left ankle.
McIlroy, who was scheduled to play in this week’s Scottish Open, said on Instagram that he injured his ankle while playing soccer with friends.
“Continuing to assess extent of injury and treatment play day by day,” he wrote. “Rehab already started.....Working hard to get back as soon as I can.”
