McIlroy has not played since his disappointed missed-cut at The Masters. He was a last-minute withdrawal from the RBC Heritage and finally spoke on why he could not play since early April.

“I think it was a combination of a few things, and just after the disappointment of Augusta and how I played there, it was just more for my mental and emotional well-being I just needed to be at home for those few weeks but, as I said, looking forward to getting back this week,” McIlroy said Wednesday, per BBC.

But McIlroy said the time off has given him a much-need mental and physical reset after failing to compete for his first Green Jacket. Now, he feels ready to get back to action and has plenty of time left in the PGA season to make it a success.

“I think I’m in a better headspace than I was. Yes, you know, that run-up to Augusta is always a stressful enough couple of weeks trying to make sure everything is in the right order and making sure your game is in good shape.

“I think for me it was a nice reset because I still had to realize that there are three more majors this year, there is a ton left to play for.”

Based on the overview of Wells Fargo Championship bets, many fans are hoping and expecting Rory McIlroy to have a strong return to the links. Bettors can use OddsShopper tools to find the best PGA value for the remainder of the season!
