Rory McIlroy is set to lose $3million of his Player Impact Programme payout after the Northern Irishman made the decision to withdraw from this week's RBC Heritage.
According to Sports Illustrated, McIlroy will be handed the sanction after pulling out of his second elevated event of the season. Amid the the threat of LIV Golf, the PGA Tour confirmed a whole host of changes ahead of the 2023 season to keep their star-studded players on side.
One of the changes came in the way of elevated - or designated - events, after commissioner Jay Monahan confirming 17 tournaments on the calendar had received the improved status.
