Rory McIlroy will see how body feels' and assess schedule before Masters

"I'll see how my body feels, said the world No 2. We'll see how I feel in practice and at home and if I get itchy feet at home maybe add an event at some point. It was important to make the weekend here and play an extra couple of days."

"I'm happy I got through four days and my body feels good. My game got a little bit better as the week went on, even though the scores probably didn't reflect it over the weekend. See how the next week goes, see how once I get back to a full practice schedule and in the gym."

Rory McIlroy, the world No. 2 and defending Masters champion, finished tied for 46th at the Players Championship after being hampered by a back injury during preparation. Despite the disappointing result at TPC Sawgrass, where he was the defending champion, McIlroy views the event positively for completing four competitive days. He will assess his physical condition over the coming week through practice and gym work before deciding whether to enter another tournament before the Masters. McIlroy noted his game improved throughout the week despite weekend scores not reflecting this progress.
