PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan expressed understanding for Rory McIlroy's decision to withdraw from the Travelers Championship following his disappointing performance at the U.S. Open. McIlroy, who had a late-Sunday meltdown at Pinehurst No. 2, decided to take a break to recover and refocus.
McIlroy, who missed out on his fifth major championship at the U.S. Open, announced on social media that he would be taking three weeks off to rebuild himself. He is expected to return for the Scottish Open and the British Open in July.
