Rory McIlroy acknowledged he is dealing with an elbow injury as he prepares to head to Augusta for next week's Masters.

Rory McIlroy revealed he will seek treatment for an elbow injury that was ‘bothering’ him in his last start ahead of The Masters. McIlroy enjoyed an encouraging final-round showing at the Houston Open which will be his final tournament before he heads to Augusta National in search of his first major win since 2014.

Preparing for the upcoming Masters, McIlroy has been fine-tuning his skills and chose to participate in the current event due to a three-week gap before the major tournament. Earlier in the week, he revealed he had played at Augusta National, mentioning the alterations to the renowned course after Hurricane Helene's impact last October.
