McIlroy, who led the Tour in earnings from the week after The Players Championship until Scottie Scheffler won last week’s Memorial, trails Scheffler by $580,357. He can regain the lead with a finish of solo third or better ($676,200).

AS Rory McIlroy presumably sat watching the conclusion of the Memorial Tournament in Ohio on Sunday night, he will have become well aware of the task ahead of him as he seeks to add a second Major title to his 2025 resume.

Although several players withdrew from the RBC Canadian Open in the hours leading up to tee-off time, the event continues to capture the attention of fans.
