Rory McIlroy, the five-time major champion, had to end his practice round early at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, due to a blister on his right pinky toe. After just three holes, he expressed discomfort and decided to leave the course. This issue has been ongoing, as McIlroy experienced a noticeable limp during his final round at the Truist Championship, attributing it to the same blister. He had previously mentioned that the blister is located under the nail, causing significant pain. On Tuesday, he removed the nail to help with the discomfort, but it was still bothersome during his practice. Following his early exit, McIlroy tried on different shoes in the clubhouse to find a more comfortable fit. With the PGA Championship set to begin, it remains uncertain if he will practice again or if he will compete while dealing with this issue. McIlroy has expressed a more confident mindset heading into this year's tournament compared to last year, where he felt uncertain about his future in golf after achieving his long-desired Masters victory.
