Newly-crowned Masters champion Rory McIlroy will not compete at next week’s Memorial Tournament in Ohio for the first time since 2017.
The Northern Irishman does not feature in the final field for the tournament, which will take place from May 29 to June 1 at Muirfield Village.
The tournament, the seventh of eight signature events on the PGA Tour, is hosted by golfing great Jack Nicklaus and sees world No 1 Scottie Scheffler return to defend his title.
Kira K Dixon explains why McIlroy was forced to swap driver heads ahead of the PGA Championship
McIlroy is coming off a disappointing week at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, where he struggled to make the cut before finishing three-over and tied for 47th.
It served as a lull that could be somewhat forgiven in the wake of the emotional rollercoaster that saw him come through a dramatic play-off to end his long wait for victory at The Masters in April. In doing so McIlroy completed the career Grand Slam with his first major win since 2014.
McIlroy, who sits No 2 in the world rankings, has since also finished tied 12th along with Shane Lowry at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans as well as tied for seventh at the Truist Championship.

Hurzeler: It’s not a one-man show at Brighton – we’re a family
Everton, away. That is where Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler's Premier League story began just over a year ago. While Sunday's return to Merseyside will be in a brand-new stadium, memories of that Goodison Park bow in August 2024 will be forever etched in the young manager's mind. "I thought I'd prepared myself, but when the game started I was just impressed by how loud it was, how intense the Premier League is," Hurzerler tells Sky Sports. "I remember very well how my emotions felt. It was a nice feeling afterwards, but during the game it was a tough experience and one that I learned a lot from. Overall, it was an experience I wanted, it was very positive."A 3-0 victory set the youngest permanent Premier League head coach off on the front foot. Another step on a journey that […]
Howe: ‘Lose-lose situation’ with Isak – but he can win supporters back
Eddie Howe has admitted Newcastle are in a "lose-lose" situation over Alexander Isak but is confident the wantaway striker will be welcomed back by his team-mates if he remains at St James' Park.Isak has been training away from his team-mates since the start of pre-season in a bid to orchestrate a transfer from the club. On Tuesday evening, Isak put out an explosive statement regarding his transfer situation - saying his future with the Magpies "cannot continue" over "broken promises" made by the club.Hours later, Newcastle responded by refuting Isak's suggestion he was told he could leave this summer and insisted they "do not foresee" the player being sold, as their terms are unlikely to be met.The latest dramatic twist came after Liverpool - who the Magpies face on Monday Night Football - saw a £110m bid rejected by Newcastle […]
Fantasy football rankings 2025: Top sleepers, busts, breakouts by model that projected C.J. Stroud’s down year
Only in sports is 30 considered old, and that's especially the case for NFL running backs. A number of ball carriers are turning that age this year including Alvin Kamara, James Conner, Nick Chubb and Austin Ekeler. That fact alone will cause many to downgrade them in 2025 Fantasy football rankings. However, turning 30 didn't negatively affect Derrick Henry or Aaron Jones last year, so how much stock should you put in a running back's age when doing Fantasy football 2025 draft prep?In the case of Conner, he's getting better as he ages as he's increased his rushing yards in each of the last five years. The old adage of age just being a number has some merit with NFL running backs as recent performance should carry more weight. What other 2025 Fantasy football advice would serve you well ahead […]

Odvrácené mečboly s Běloruskou, divoká jízda proti Rusce. Mladé sparťanky jsou blízko hlavní soutěži US Open
Jednadvacetiletá Šalková (162. na světě) má v New Yorku poprvé nakročeno mezi 128 účastnic úvodní rundy. Ve dvouapůlhodinovém zápase s Běloruskou Kristinou Dmitrukovou (237.) předvedla spoustu chyb, ale i ohromnou vůli a neutuchající odvahu. Soupeřku nakonec udolala 6:3, 5:7, 7:6, když ve třetí sadě odvrátila čtyři mečboly.Ve chvílích, kdy se ocitla na hraně, se opatrnicky nestáhla a do míčků prala s ještě větší vervou. Ve dvanácté hře rozhodující sady, která trvala jedenáct minut a stav šedl osmkrát přes shodu, se to vyplatilo náramně.Mečbol č.1: Žádný zanďour. Šalková vyrazila na síť a na dvakrát zakončovala.Mečbol č.2: Přidalo se i štěstí. Míček z české rakety lízl síť a následoval nechytatelný forhend. Nebylo divu, že soupeřka pak třískla raketou o kurt.Mečbol č.3.: Šalková Dmitrukovou parádně rozběhala. Forhend, bekhend, forhend, nazdar!Mečbol č.4: Zchvácená Běloruska už nemohla a bekhend poslala ven z kurtu.Nezlomná Češka se pak v tie-breaku hraném do deseti bodů vyhrabala i ze stavu 1:4.
