In a groundbreaking move, LIV golfers now have a clear qualification path to The Open, enabling them to compete directly with PGA Tour players. This landmark decision breaks down previous barriers and transforms the competitive dynamics of professional golf
Rory McIlroy has withdrawn from the Travelers Championship due to an ongoing rib injury, which caused him to miss previously missed the Memorial Tournament last week.
McIlroy, who last competed at the U.S. Open, said it’s been a “difficult” season but that he’s generally “happy with where the game is at.”
“My body just can’t keep up. It’s a minor injury but it’s enough to where I can’t play,” McIlroy said.
McIlroy said he plans to take a few weeks off, including missing the RBC Canadian Open, which he won in 2019.
The Puntacana Resort & Club Championship is heading into its final round, and Denny McCarthy will be chasing down a two-shot advantage held by Chris Bryan heading into the final 18 holes on the Corales course. Tom Hoge and Hudson Swafford were tied for third heading into Sunday’s play, three shots behind Bryan, after both golfers shot 3-under 69s in the third round. Bryan was flawless on Saturday needing just 26 putts en route to a 5-under 67, and will look to cruise to his first PGA Tour win on Sunday.
