Rory McIlroy Feels America’s Balmier Weather Calling

AKRON, Ohio — Rory McIlroy was not kidding after the British Open when he said he did not care much for the weather there and liked playing American-style golf courses better than Britain’s seaside.

McIlroy, who gave up his PGA Tour card after one season last year, has had a change of heart and mind and said Wednesday at the W.G.C.-Bridgestone Invitational that he would be playing a full-time schedule in the United States next season.

A 22-year-old Ulsterman who lives in the Belfast suburb of Holywood, McIlroy said he planned to look at real estate in Orlando and northern Palm Beach County in Florida after next week’s P.G.A. Championship and would make a decision shortly thereafter. (golf courses)

“I spoke to a couple of the guys from the PGA Tour today about it, and I’m leaning towards taking my card up again, definitely,” said McIlroy, who won the United States Open in June. “I feel as if I play my best golf over here. I’m very comfortable in this country.
