Rory McIlroy' s withdrawal from this week's RBC Heritage has been confirmed by the PGA Tour, just days after the Northern Irishman missed the cut at The Masters.
McIlroy headed to Augusta a well-backed favourite, and with his eyes on finally completing the career Grand Slam, nine years on from his last major triumph at The Open Championship. Things did not go to plan for the 33-year-old in Georgia though.
The four-time major winner kicked off his event with a level-par 72 on day one, before ending his week with a disappointing five-over 77 to miss the 36-hole cut by two shots.
