At this stage, it is planned only for the 2019 season.<\/p>\n<p>While he is leaving the European Tour, McIlroy has stated that will play only two European events, both of which will be during the first half. This is a result of scheduling conflicts with the PGA Tour. The Announcement was made while <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rory_McIlroy\">Rory McIlroy<\/a> was in Dubai for the Race to Dubai World Tournament.<\/p>\n<p>The Irish golfer has had been successful on the European Tour and is ranked sixth going into the World Tour Championship. The reason given for leaving the European Tour relates to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theplayers.com\/\">Players\u2019 Championship<\/a> starting in March and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pga.com\/events\/pgachampionship\/2019\">U.S. PGA Championship<\/a> in May. Those changes have seen the BMW PGA Championship, which is a flagship event in the European Tour being moved to September.<\/p>\n<p>McIlroy stated that is a direct result of the scheduling changes adding,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don\u2019t have to commit to anything until May, so I will not have played a European Tour event \u2026 I will play the WGCs and majors and events like that, but the true European Tour season does not start until July.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Continuing his explanation, McIlroy stated,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The way the schedule has worked for next year, it is going to be different for a lot of guys. Everything is going to be so condensed between March and August, and that is why I am taking a big off-season to get myself ready \u2026 then go at it hard from March all the way through to basically the end of the season.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One of the factors that made the choice to relinquish the European Tour membership was the fact that this year is a non-Ryder Cup year. McIlroy said that he will start his year off in the United States and it will remain his main focus straight through to August, at which point, he will revaluate.<\/p>\n<p>As a former #1 ranked player, who today is ranked 7th, he has not had a win on the PGA Tour since 2016. The decision is in part, fueled by his desire to play against the strongest fields.

If it were to be that I don\u2019t fulfil my membership next year, it\u2019s not a Ryder Cup year so it\u2019s not the end of the world. I am always going to want to play the Ryder Cup and I will try and make the team the year later.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>McIlroy is now in Dubai in preparation for the Race to Dubai.
