World No. 3 Rory McIlroy withdrew from this week’s RBC Heritage, the PGA Tour introduced Monday.

The event begins Thursday at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, S.C. No motive was specified for the 33-year-old Northern Ireland star’s withdrawal.

McIlroy missed the reduce eventually week’s Masters after carding a 5-over 77 on Friday.

The RBC Heritage is a delegated occasion, that means gamers ranked within the high 20 of the Player Impact Program are required to take part.

Players are allowed to skip one designated occasion for private or skilled causes, however McIlroy already sat out of the season-opening Sentry Tournament of Champions in January.

A second absence from a delegated occasion may probably price McIlroy his bonus cash from the Player Impact Program.
