PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has confirmed Rory McIlroy 's £2.4 million Player Impact Programme (PIP) sanction will be upheld after the Northern Irishman broke Tour rules last month.
After missing the cut at the Masters, McIlroy made the decision to pull out of the RBC Heritage that was taking place at Harbour Links just a week later. The decision to withdraw was a controversial one though, with it being the second time in four months that he'd skipped an elevated event.
The punishment for skipping two of the PGA Tour's elevated tournaments is the loss of 25 percent of the PIP bonus from 2022, which for McIlroy was a multi-million pound fine.
