Scottie Scheffler claimed victory at the prestigious Memorial Tournament last Sunday, but he has elected to give this one a miss.

‘It surprised me’ – Rory McIlroy left golf legend in the dark weeks after crucial Masters adviceRBC Canadian Open: What has been said?

After missing the Memorial, Nicklaus revealed he was a little disappointed McIlroy didn’t compete.

He said: “Yeah, it surprised me.

“But, you know, guys have got schedules and got things they do. And, you know, I haven’t talked to him for him to tell me why or why not. It’s just his call.

“I made a lot of calls that I had to make when I played to play or not play and sometimes it wasn’t as popular as people thought it was. But, you know, sometimes you have to make those calls.

“I don’t hold anything against Rory for that.”
