PGA Tour's Schedule Under Fire as Scottie Scheffler & Rory McIlroy Opt Out of $20M Events

The PGA Tour is facing criticism over its scheduling of Signature Events, as neither Scottie Scheffler nor Rory McIlroy are appearing together at the same tournaments. Between the Masters and the PGA Championship, three Signature Events — RBC Heritage at Hilton Head, the Cadillac Championship at Doral, and the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow — each feature only one of the two top players. Golf.com's Sean Zak highlighted the issue, noting that the absence of both stars from any single $20 million event is significantly hurting television ratings.
