Rory McIlroy said he needed “a reset” after missing the cut at the Masters. That’s why the world’s third-ranked player didn’t touch his clubs for more than two weeks, went on vacation to Manhattan with his wife, Erica, to celebrate their anniversary, and withdrew from RBC Heritage — a move that may cost him $3 million.
PublishedCHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rory McIlroy said he needed “a reset” after missing the cut at the Masters.
McIlroy is playing this week in the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow, where he’s a three-time champion. McIlroy, an outspoken opponent of LIV, said it has been a “tumultuous time” and, after stepping away, he came to realize that golf had “totally consumed” his life. McIlroy arrived at Augusta National nearly a month ago hoping to complete the career Grand Slam by winning his first Masters. He felt supremely confident after shooting 5 under on the second nine during a practice round the day before the tournament.“I honestly thought I was gonna have the best Masters I’ve ever had,” said McIlroy, the runner-up at Augusta in 2022.
McIlroy said he hasn't heard if PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan plans to withhold the final $3 million from his PIP bonus.
