The world No. 1-ranked Rory McIlroy is set to play in the P.G.A. Championship next week, the P.G.A. of America said Friday.
The P.G.A. said on Twitter that McIlroy, the defending champion, had been grouped with Jordan Spieth, the United States Open and Masters champion, and Zach Johnson, the British Open winner, for the opening round on Thursday at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.
McIlroy, who has not played since damaging an ankle ligament while playing soccer with friends on July 4, had fanned speculation he would play the final major of the year with a series of social media posts in recent days.
