The News cited financial issues as the cause. Detroit-based Quicken Loans was expected to be a major sponsor of the event.
McIlroy and Fowler were to be joined by a pair of celebrities — reportedly Justin Timberlake and Mark Wahlberg — in the 18-hole showdown, which was set to be televised by CBS and the Golf Channel.
