Rory McIlroy cuts his PGA Championship practice short at Aronimink Golf Club because of a painful toe blister. Multiple outlets report that the issue appears to affect his ability to play through practice, forcing him to end a session earlier than planned and, in some accounts, significantly limit the number of holes he completes. The reports say McIlroy addresses the problem in the lead-up to the tournament, including changing his footwear for comfort after the blister develops. One outlet describes him performing an at-home procedure to deal with the blister, while another notes he used an increased shoe size ahead of the tournament’s start on May 14. Despite the setback, sources indicate he continues with some level of preparation and has recent scouting activity planned or underway for the course. The incidents are presented as a temporary injury-management problem during major preparation rather than a withdrawal from the event itself. The common point across coverage is that McIlroy’s major prep is hampered by the toe blister, leading to shortened on-course practice time.
