Rory McIlroy withdrew Monday from the RBC Heritage, a designated event on the PGA Tour. No reason was provided by the PGA Tour.
McIlroy missed the cut at the Masters Tournament, his sixth start in the last nine weeks. He has only twice before played the Heritage event, tying for 41st in 2020, when it was contested in mid-June after the Tour’s COVID-19 break, and tying for 58th in 2009.
Jason Day, Alex Noren and Will Zalatoris have also withdrawn from the event. Zalatoris announced Monday that he underwent back surgery and will be out for the remainder of the season.
