McIlroy's MRI shows recurrence of rib injury

Rory McIlroy doesn't have a new injury, but he's not entirely over the rib issue that sidelined him earlier this year, either.

Per a report from the BBC: A scan has revealed that the back problem Rory McIlroy had at the Players Championship was a recurrence of his injury from earlier this year.

McIlroy said on Monday evening that an MRI scan had revealed "no new injury, rather a low grade response to the rib joint I injured earlier in the year."

As of now, McIlroy is still slated to play next week's BMW PGA at Wentworth, where he won the title in 2014.
