“I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he said.
“You might not see me until next year. You might see me in a couple of weeks’ time. It really depends.
“I can go out there and play and shoot decent scores, but when I come off the course I feel my left rhomboid going into spasm.
“The inside of my left arm goes numb. I don’t know what to do. I have got this next week off to assess what I need to go forward.”
McIlroy could play in the FedEx Cup Playoffs which get going on the 22nd August at The Northern Trust, previously known as The Barclays.
