Rory McIlroy has admitted he is still undecided how to attack his pre-major schedule ahead of his latest bid to complete the career Grand Slam next month at The Masters.

McIlroy will once again be among the pre-tournament favourites for the opening major of the year, live from April 10-13 on Sky Sports, where victory would see him become just the sixth men’s player – and first since Tiger Woods – to complete the career Grand Slam.

The Northern Irishman remains without a major victory since his 2014 PGA Championship success, the same year he registered the first of seven career top-10s at The Masters, with McIlroy tinkering with his schedule in recent years ahead of the major season.

McIlroy will feature in the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players in Florida over the next two weeks, both live on Sky Sports, although is still yet to work out where – or if – he will tee it up again before heading to The Masters.

“I’m still making a bit of a decision,” McIlroy said ahead of the Arnold Palmer Invitational. “I’m going to play these next two weeks, I’ll see how these next two weeks go, and then I’ll sort of re-assess.

“I don’t like the idea of having three weeks off going into The Masters, so I may add one event, but I’m still between what event that may be.

“It really just depends on how these two weeks go and how I’m feeling about my game. I would imagine I would add an event leading into there, it just depends on whether it’s Houston [Houston Open] or San Antonio [Texas Open].”
