The Top 50 golfers from last year (plus 30 more based on a rolling formula) must participate or be subject to a hefty fine. The new arrangement permits players qualified to play in a Signature Event to miss only one during the season. Any further failures to appear result in a fine.
Last year, McIroy opted out of the Heritage (his second Signature absence that season) and was fined $3 million.
