Rory McIlroy has withdrawn from the Travelers Championship due to an ongoing rib injury, which caused him to miss previously missed the Memorial Tournament last week.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.
Winners and Losers from the 2024 U.S. Open
The 2024 U.S. Open concluded with a thrilling final round, leaving a trail of winners and losers. Among the victors, Rory McIlroy cemented his legacy with a record-breaking victory, while Tony Finau and Scottie Scheffler proved their championship mettle. Unfortunately, for some, the tournament brought disappointment and missed opportunities. Dustin Johnson, despite a strong start, fell short of expectations, while Matt Fitzpatrick’s hopes of a title defense were dashed. The Open’s challenging conditions tested the limits of the best golfers in the world, creating a memorable and eventful week of competition.
Will Zalatoris is the early pacesetter in the 2024 Travelers Championship odds, a tournament that’s chock full of major winners. Zalatoris played a great tournament here last year and he finished top 10 in all four major championships in 2023. Zalatoris is an exciting young talent who is knocking on the door of a major championship breakthrough.
Behind Zalatoris, we have a trio of major winners in Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm, and Justin Thomas. Scheffler is the reigning Masters champion, Rahm is the reigning U.S. Open champion, and Thomas is the reigning PGA Championship champion. All three players are capable of winning any tournament they enter, so they’re all worth considering as contenders for the Travelers Championship.

Three-time major champion Nelly Korda sent shockwaves through the Augusta National Women’s Amateur. Despite shooting a 1-under 71, she missed out on the cut by a stroke. She is one of several top players struggling for form this season.
On the other hand, Chun In-gee is in formidable shape and will be aiming to defend her title at the 2024 U.S. Women’s Open. Jessica Korda, who recently earned gold at the Olympics, is also playing well and will look to add a major championship to her impressive resume.

“I’m just going to go out there and play my game,” Scheffler said. “I’m not going to worry about what anyone else is doing.”
World No. 1 Jon Rahm has withdrawn from the 2024 U.S. Open with a lingering foot infection. Rahm, who won the U.S. Open in 2021, has been dealing with the injury since early June. He attempted to rehab the injury and play through the pain, but he was unable to make a full recovery in time for the U.S. Open. This is the second major championship that Rahm has withdrawn from this year. He also missed the Masters in April with the same injury. Rahm is expected to make a full recovery and return to competition later this summer.
