$60 Million Golfer Abruptly Withdraws From RBC Canadian Open at Last Minute

Besides him, Shahith Theegala and Taylor Dickinson have also decided to forego their spots. Theegala is suffering from a neck injury, which caused his withdrawal from the PGA Championship and the Truist Championship.

In their place, Taylor Montgomery and Cameron Champ have been added to the tournament.

The biggest name going into this event is Rory McIlroy. He last appeared at the PGA Championship, where he had a disappointing performance, finishing T47 with a score of 3‑over par.

While playing at Quail Hollow, he skipped speaking to the media for all four days, drawing significant backlash. He also chose to skip the Memorial Tournament at Jack’s place, which upset his mentor, Jack Nicklaus.

“I really don’t know why Rory didn’t talk to me,” Nicklaus said. “I can’t answer that question. There’s nothing I can answer. I know he has to make a schedule that works for him and what he has to do. And I understand, because I had to do the same thing.”

McIlroy finally announced his decision to speak to the media at the RBC Canadian Open on Wednesday.
