Rory McIlroy pulls out of the Great Britain and Ireland team to compete in the Seve Trophy.

US Open champion Rory McIlroy has pulled out of the Great Britain and Ireland team that is set to compete for the Seve Trophy in two weeks' time.

The 22-year-old was part of the winning side two years ago but an arm injury and an upcoming busy schedule has prevented the Irishman from participating this time around.

"I want to try to get two weeks at home and do a few things before I head off on that big run," said McIlroy.

"Now [the arm's] not painful," he said. "It's more like a numb sensation, like if someone gives you a dead arm.

"It's nearly 100% and I'm happy with it."

McIlory sustained the injury while competing in the US PGA Championship earlier this month.
