McIlroy to play waiting game on BMW PGA
Rory McIlroy's MRI scan reveals no new injury, but he'll decide early next week whether to play at Wentworth.
Rory McIlroy admits he will wait until early next week to fully commit to the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
A scan revealed that the back problem McIlroy had at the Players Championship was a recurrence of his injury from earlier this year.
McIlroy said on Monday evening that an MRI scan had revealed "no new injury, rather a low grade response to the rib joint I injured earlier in the year".
"As of now I am still entered into the BMW PGA Championship," said McIlroy, who won the BMW PGA in 2014.
