GOLF Rory McIlroy has committed to playing the first three events on the PGA Tour following its June 11 resumption.

The world No.1 intends to compete at the Charles Schwab Challenge, RBC Heritage and Travelers Championsh­ip next month.

McIlroy is taking part in the TaylorMade Driving Relief tournament in Florida tomorrow - a skins competitio­n also featuring Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff - and is keen to get back on the course after a two-month hiatus due to the coronaviru­s pandemic.

“I just want to get back out and play,” McIlroy said.

“So my plan is to play the first three. I think it’ll be nice to get back out there.

“Obviously we’re going to have to take as many precaution­s as possible to be able to put Tour events on again, but I think the PGA Tour has got a very robust plan in place,” McIlroy added.
