Rory McIlroy will reportedly be docked €2.7 million after pulling out of this week's RBC Heritage with the Northern Ireland golfer set to lose a large chunk of his Player Impact Programme (PIP) bonus.
As part of the PGA Tour shake up they have installed a number of designated events which the top players, including McIlroy, all have to play.
Players are permitted to skip one of the 12 designated events and McIlroy already opted out of the Sentry Tournament of Champions earlier this year.
