Rory McIlroy says this week’s FedEx St. Jude Championship gives him an opportunity to assess where his game is at during the start of the PGA Tour’s FedExCup Playoffs. The Northern Irish golfer is returning to PGA Tour competition and views the tournament as a chance to gauge his current level against the field.
The outlets describe McIlroy’s recent schedule as having included a successful defence of his Masters title in April, followed by a period of disappointing results. Sky Sports and Sky News also note that he has not played on the PGA Tour since The Open, making his return a key focus for him this week. The different coverage centers on the same theme: McIlroy is trying to understand his form and standing as playoff golf begins after an uneven run of results.
