Rory McIlroy, fresh off a devastating US Open loss, was listed in the initial field released on Monday for this week's PGA Tour event in Cromwell, Connecticut.

The Northern Irishman was in position to end a decade-long hunt for his fifth major on Sunday but threw it away with three bogeys in his final four holes, including two where he missed putts inside of four feet, and lost to Bryson DeChambeau by one stroke.
