Rory McIlroy is once again skipping a Signature Event on the PGA Tour.Since the elevated events were introduced in 2023, McIlroy has now elected to miss ten such tournaments. McIlroy is taking another break from golfGettyHe decided against teeing it up at the RBC Heritage and Cadillac Championship earlier this season and is not listed in the field for the upcoming Travelers Championship at TPC River Highlands.The 2026 US Open will come to a conclusion at Shinnecock Hills on Sunday evening but McIlroy has failed to get into contention in the third major of the summer.But instead of looking to bounce back at the Travelers – an event he has yet to win – he will be taking a week off instead again.McIlroy is highly unlikely to take part in the John Deere Classic in Illinois the following week so fans will have to wait to watch the Grand Slam champion in action again.The Northern Irishman has confirmed his participation in the Scottish Open, which gets underway on July 9, and he will be among the favourites for the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale the week after.McIlroy has made it clear this year that he is focusing his efforts on the majors and has cut back his schedule dramatically.He has played just six tournaments on the PGA Tour this season.The PGA Tour schedule is expected to undergo a revamp soon with the inclusion of Track 1 and Track 2 events.It’s a controversial proposal as some long-running events – like last week’s Canadian Open – will be devalued despite their glittering history.Rory McIlroy's skipped Signature Events2023 Sentry ($15m)2023 RBC Heritage ($20m)2024 Sentry ($20m)2024 Travelers Championship ($20m)2025 Sentry ($20m)2025 RBC Heritage ($20m)2025 Memorial Tournament ($20m)2026 RBC Heritage ($20m)2026 Cadillac Championship ($20m)2026 Travelers Championship ($20m)McIlroy has struggled at the US OpenGettyMcIlroy was asked about the tweaks prior to the US Open and had a strong reaction to the news.He said: “An event like last week, the Canadian Open, is potentially going to one of these track 2s. “Track 2 is a glorified Korn Ferry event – that’s what track 2 is going to be, so I don’t think the Canadian Open should be one of those.“I just think there’s going to be certain events that might lose their stature if a sponsor doesn’t pony up $30million, so that’s the tough thing.“I’m not in those rooms. I don’t know. I play my schedule and I’ll continue to play my schedule, which is getting less and less as the years go on.“It’s funny that as they’ve done all this work, you start to realize that the way the PGA Tour was before LIV came along was actually pretty good – it was a pretty good structure, and everything sort of worked pretty well.McIlroy has voiced his concerns over proposed changes to the PGA Tour scheduleGetty“LIV created this false economy where we had to up prize funds and had to cut fields and try to support the top players and all that stuff, which I think needed to happen because that was the only way to retain talent at the time.“Now that LIV looks like it’s less of a threat, I think the old ways of the PGA Tour weren’t actually that bad.”McIlroy shot a third round 73 to fall out of contention at the 2026 US Open, hitting five bogeys on his back nine on Saturday night.The Masters champion started the week well but has struggled since the first round and will be hoping for an impressive run on Sunday to secure at least a top ten finish.
