LONDON (Reuters) - Fears about Rory McIlory's participation in the U.S. PGA Championship increased on Wednesday after the injured world number one withdrew from next week's PGA Tour event, the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

McIlory's inability to defend his title in Akron, Ohio not only raised doubts about his chances of playing in the final major of the year, which he won for the second time last August, it also put his top ranking in jeopardy.
