WASHINGTON - Rory McIlroy says European players who decided not to travel to the United States for the US PGA Tour's restart should not complain about missing out on world rankings points.

"I mean if you really care about your career and care about moving forward you should be here," world No. 1 McIlroy said on Wednesday as he prepared to tee it up for the second straight week in the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina. "Look, personally, if I were in their shoes and I was asked to come over to the States and shelter in place or quarantine for two weeks before these tournaments, I would have done that," the 31-year-old said.

Told that the tour had reported a second straight week of zero positive coronavirus tests - after conducting 954 tests of players, caddies and family members - McIlroy said he was not surprised.
