Completes Practice Round and Prepares for Tournament

World No. 2 Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland, who injured his toe, will compete as scheduled in the second major tournament of the season, the PGA Championship.

On May 13 (local time), McIlroy completed a planned practice round at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, United States, the venue for the tournament.

After the Truist Championship last week, McIlroy said, "I developed a blister on my right little toe and had the nail removed to treat it." Feeling pain in his toe, he limped during his practice round on May 12 and returned to the clubhouse after playing only three holes.

He also mentioned that he had prepared several pairs of shoes in different sizes to ease the discomfort in his right foot. However, a day later, he completed his training as usual and began preparing for the first round of the PGA Championship. Having won the season's first major tournament, the Masters, last month, McIlroy will play alongside Jordan Spieth of the United States and Jon Rahm of Spain in the first and second rounds of this tournament.
