Rory McIlroy’s hopes of completing the career Grand Slam disappeared as he missed the cut at the Masters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Rory McIlroy has withdrawn from this week’s PGA Tour event, the RBC Heritage at Hilton Head in South Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

No reason was given for the withdrawal of the world number three as it was announced by the PGA Tour.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Northern Irishman, 33, shot rounds of 72 and 75 to miss the cut at last week’s Masters by two shots – his ninth attempt to complete the career Grand Slam at Augusta National.<\/span><\/p>\n

The RBC Heritage is among the PGA Tour’s designated events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Players ranked in the top 20 of the circuit’s Player Impact Program (PIP) – created to reward players for boosting engagement and publicity in the PGA Tour – are allowed to skip only one designated event per season. <\/span><\/p>\n

McIlroy has already sat out of the season-opening Sentry Tournament of Champions in January.<\/span><\/p>\n

This second absence could potentially cost him bonus money from the PIP, which is distributed at the end of the PGA Tour season and which earned McIlroy \u00a37.5m in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

Former world number one Jason Day, who was on the fringes of contention at Augusta, has also pulled out of this week’s event.<\/span><\/p>\n

McIlroy won the last of his four majors in 2014 but claiming the Masters would have made him only the sixth player to complete the men’s career Grand Slam.<\/span><\/p>\n

He went into the tournament with four wins on the PGA Tour in the past 10 months and with many suggesting this would finally be the year he achieved golfing immortality.<\/span><\/p>\n

McIlroy declined to do any post-round interviews after failing to make the halfway cut.<\/span><\/p>\n
