Rory McIlroy explained his decision not to speak to the media during last month's PGA Championship, saying Wednesday he was annoyed that news had leaked about his driver failing to pass inspection before the tournament.

After a couple weeks off, Rory McIlroy will tee it up at the RBC Canadian Open this week before heading to the U.S. Open.

Rory McIlroy's comments were his first since a surprising silence at the PGA Championship and shed light on how he views the media.
