## Resource

Rory McIlroy skips the Travelers Championship for the first time since 2015, opting out after the U.S. Open — one of only two top-ten players missing, alongside Jon Rahm. Despite a history of strong finishes and even calling it a relaxing spot post-major, his absence leaves a void in a field loaded with talent, including defending champ Keegan Bradley, Scottie Scheffler, and Matt Fitzpatrick. With Rory sidelined, the stage is set for a thrilling showdown — and fans will have to wait to see if he’ll return next year. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
