European Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley has pulled out of next week's US PGA Championship with a shoulder injury, the Irishman said Monday.

The 47-year-old has suffered from bursitis in his left shoulder, an affliction which forced him to miss the French Open at the start of July.

The US PGA, the fourth and final major of the year, tees off at Valhalla Golf Club in Kentucky on August 7.
