[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○..."Hungry for tournaments."

World No. 1 Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland, photo) said on the 14th (Korean time) at the 'TaylorMade Driving Relief' media day, "I'm glad the PGA Tour will take place next month," adding, "I will participate in the first three tournaments." He is about to face a special event on the 18th, teaming up with Dustin Johnson (USA) against Ricky Fowler and Matthew Wolff (both USA). The event will be held at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Florida.

McIlroy added, "We need to be cautious about COVID-19, but it seems the PGA Tour has prepared a very solid plan." The PGA Tour was shut down after the first round of The Players Championship, known as the 'fifth major,' in March due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), and will resume the 2020 season starting with the Charles Schwab Challenge on June 11. This will be followed by the RBC Heritage on the 18th and the Travelers Championship on the 25th.
