"Currently seventh in the FedExCup standings, McIlroy successfully defended his title at THE CJ CUP in South Carolina in his season debut and followed it up with a pair of top-3 finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard (T2) and the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play (3rd).
"McIlroy, the No. 3 ranked player in the world, ranks 8th in Strokes Gained: Total and 2nd in Strokes Gained: Tee-to-Green this season."
McIlroy's withdrawal comes after the Northern Ireland golfer's poor showing at the US Masters.
The Holywood man went into the event as tournament favourite but missed the cut after opening rounds of 72 and 77.
It saw McIlroy miss out once again on completing the career grand slam.
