Rory McIlroy skips PGA Tour event again after being fined £2.2m for rule breach
Rory McIlroy has skipped the RBC Heritage two years after paying a hefty fine for withdrawing from the tournament. The Masters champion is taking some deserved time off following his Augusta heroics.
McIlroy will not play at the RBC Heritage but, unlike in 2023, he will not be punished for doing so. Back then, the PGA fined players if they missed two signature events during a single season. Having missed the cut at the Masters the week before, McIlroy decided to accept a mammoth £2.2million fine as it was the second signature event he had missed. That rule is no longer in place.
