Rory McIlroy has finally addressed his withdrawal from last month's RBC Heritage, with the Northern Irishman facing a costly £2.4 million sanction.
April was a month to forget for McIlroy, after the four-time major champion missed the 36-hole cut at the Masters after heading into the week as tournament favourite. On the back of his Augusta nightmare, the Northern Irishman's withdrawal from the RBC Heritage was then confirmed just days later.
His decision to pull out was a controversial one, with the week at Harbour Town McIlroy's second missed elevated event of the season, breaking one of the PGA Tour's golden rules.
