McIlroy targets Mexico return
Rory McIlroy hopes to be back playing in time for the WGC-Mexico Championship.
McIlroy suffered a stress fracture in his ribs while playing the BMW SA Open earlier this month, which forced him to miss last week's Abu Dhabi Championship.
Having withdrawn from next week's Dubai Desert Classic, the world number two has confirmed that the injury is likely to keep him sidelined for at least a month.
He is targeting a return at the WGC event in Mexico City, which runs from March 2-5, giving him just over a month to get his game in shape ahead of the Masters at Augusta National.
"I am trying to get back for Mexico, that's my timetable for return," McIlroy told The Clubhouse Pod with FOX Sports.
"I could maybe get back before that, but if I were to play Honda (Classic in Florida) and then go straight to Mexico, that would be playing two weeks in a row.
"I would like to ease my way in gently.
"Mexico is the perfect time to return because its four rounds, no cut. I can see how everything feels and have a week off after that," he said.
"Hopefully it works out that way and that's when I am trying to get back."
