Rory McIlroy Snubs £2.7M Prize Post-Masters Win

Rory McIlroy, fresh from his emotional Masters triumph at Augusta where he secured his career Grand Slam, has chosen to skip the PGA Tour's RBC Heritage event in South Carolina, despite the whopping £2.7 million prize on offer. While no official reason was given, McIlroy hinted at wanting to celebrate his win with family in Northern Ireland. Given his underwhelming past performances at Harbour Town and a physically exhausting Masters, his absence isn't entirely unexpected. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler, who shines on the course McIlroy struggles with, will pursue another win.
