Express Sport brings you the latest golf news with Rory McIlroy back in action this week.

Rory McIlroy will this week play in his first tournament since finally landing the Masters title at Augusta National. The Northern Irishman is scheduled to play alongside close friend Shane Lowry at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

The duo will attempt to defend the title they won last year. Lowry confirmed their participation late last week. “We’ll be there,” he told Golf Week. “I talked to him [on Wednesday] morning. We’re good to go.

“To be honest, I didn’t want him to feel like he had to play because of me. He’s not letting me down if he wanted to take some time [off]. He feels like he wants to get back out there. He feels like next week is a good week to [return to the course]. So, yeah, we’ll be there.”
