Rory McIlroy has withdrawn from the Travelers Championship due to an ongoing rib injury, which caused him to miss previously missed the Memorial Tournament last week.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.
