Fresh off one of the most iconic victories of his career, Rory McIlroy has officially withdrawn from the upcoming RBC Heritage, a $20 million Signature Event on the PGA Tour set to take place April 17–20 at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina. The decision comes just days after McIlroy completed his long-awaited career Grand Slam by winning the 2025 Masters in dramatic fashion.
McIlroy’s win at Augusta was nothing short of historic, as he edged out Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff to secure the elusive Green Jacket — the only major that had eluded him. While fans might have hoped to see him ride that momentum into another top-tier event, McIlroy has instead opted for rest and recalibration, choosing to skip a tournament that’s never quite fit into his post-Masters rhythm.
