Rory McIlroy withdraws from the RBC Heritage

Rory McIlroy has withdrawn from the RBC Heritage, PGA TOUR Communications announced.

Currently seventh in the FedExCup standings, McIlroy successfully defended his title at THE CJ CUP in South Carolina in his season debut and followed it up with a pair of top-3 finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard (T2) and the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play (3rd).

McIlroy missed the cut at the Masters last week, shooting 72-77 to miss the weekend by two strokes. It was McIlroy’s second missed cut in three years at the event and remains the only major championship McIlroy has yet to win. He has seven career top-10 finishes at the Masters.

McIlroy, the No. 3 ranked player in the world, ranks 8th in Strokes Gained: Total and 2nd in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green this season.
