Rory McIlroy skips Trump tour event amid gruelling PGA schedule
The six-time major champion is resting as two $20 million signature events sit directly before the PGA Championship, officials said.
- Rory McIlroy, six-time major champion, will skip next week's Cadillac Championship at Trump National Doral in Miami, postponing his return to competition after defending his Masters title on April 12.
- The PGA Tour returns to the Blue Monster course for this $20 million signature event, though McIlroy joins golfers like Ludvig Aberg and Xander Schauffele in opting for rest rather than competing.
- After 18 years on tour, McIlroy has decided to scale back his schedule, prioritizing strategic preparation for majors. "I'm just going to go to the places that I enjoy and where I play well," he said in November 2024.
- His decision sparked debate due to his previous support for the signature event model, which he once championed to ensure the world's best players compete together regularly.
- With the Cadillac off his schedule, McIlroy has only two tournaments remaining before the PGA Championship at Aronimink on May 14, leaving limited time for final preparation.
