Rory McIlroy accused of breaking his own rules after being handed $3m fine from PGA Tour

Rory McIlroy has been accused of breaking the PGA Tour rules he helped to make, after withdrawing from this week's RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links.

McIlroy is reportedly facing a $3million sanction from the Tour after opting out of the event. The RBC Heritage is one of the Tour's 17 tournaments that received elevated status following Jay Monahan's revamp amid the ongoing threat of their rivals LIV Golf.

Heading into the 2023 season the circuit's top players were informed they were only allowed to withdraw from one elevated event throughout the campaign, or face losing a chunk of their Player Impact Programme (PIP) bonus.
