There is much skepticism on Twitter regarding Rory's withdrawl from the Honda Classic.
Golfchannel.com senior writer Jason Sobel:
PGA Tour states that Rory McIlroy's withdrawal was due to "severe wisdom tooth pain affecting concentration." Didn't see that coming.

Wisdom tooth pain? Well, makes sense. Obviously his wisdom was affected if he thought he could just walk off the course like that.

Seriously, though: "Severe wisdom tooth pain affecting concentration" is brilliant strategy. Can't disprove it and it can heal in a hurry.

Golf writer with the Guardian, Lawrence Donegan.
Rory withdraws with 'wisdom tooth' pain. This will test his admirable 'never tell lies in a press conference ' policy.#pgatour

Say this about@mcilroyrory, he's not often boring. Can't believe he chucked it, tho... Come on man, you're world no1. Represent.

New clubs, rust, bad swing habits and most of all, ego, led Rory McIlroy to withdraw from Honda on Friday after eight holes.

So, for all those jumping on the equipment change, it turns out Rory McIlroy is not in the right place 'dentally' (copyright @nialfoster)

Good thing Rory just signed an endorsement deal with Bose, he's really gonna need those noise canceling headphones now...

Rorys agent: "He's not hurt. He's not sick. And he won't answer his phone. I don't know."

Who's going to be the first investigative journalist to dig up Rory McIlroy's dental records?

Re Rory's walk-off: as a junior at Rowlands Castle GC we got almighty rollockings if we DNF-ed or didn't hand a card in. Wouldn't dare now.

I thought it was meant to be the new golf clubs that McIlroy was having teething problems with and not his actual teeth.

Fame and money has turned Rory McIlroy into a right arsehole....
