(Reuters) - Rory McIlroy says he may not return to Europe from the United States this year due to the risks associated with travelling amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
McIlroy, who is in the field for the PGA Tour's WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational this week, will play in the U.S. Open in September but has hinted he may not take part in the European Tour's Scottish Open or BMW PGA Championship in October.
