Golf's Unexpected Twist: Missing Rory

Rory McIlroy skips the Memorial Tournament for the first time in eight years. The Northern Irish golfer has been a staple at Jack Nicklaus's prestigious event. His absence follows a lackluster performance at the PGA Championship, where he tied for 47th place after struggling with a last-minute equipment switch. Though McIlroy hasn't clarified his reasons, some speculate it's to join his family in the UK. His decision continues a trend of missing signature events, raising eyebrows in the golfing world. Nonetheless, a shift in policy grants him the freedom to manage his schedule, causing mixed reactions from fans.
