Rory McIlroy is back and won't be caught in brutal Bear Trap

Rory McIlroy makes his 2015 PGA Tour debut in this week’s Honda Classic, an event which has brought out the best – and worst – in the world number one.

McIlroy won the tournament in 2012 to become world number one for the first time, but walked off the course during the defence of his title the following year, initially telling reporters he was in ”a bad place mentally” and then issuing a statement citing severe toothache as the reason for withdrawing.

The 25-year-old had played his first eight holes in seven over par but later admitted that was “no excuse” for quitting as he struggled to get to grips with his new equipment following his multi-million dollar deal with Nike.
