Rory McIlroy will heat up for this month's hotly-anticipated Ryder Cup in a considerably unconventional method, by happening a stag do together with his mates.

The four-time main winner has been in sensible kind this season and might be anticipated to steer the cost towards Zach Johnson's USA group when the blood-pumping biannual occasion will get underway on the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome on Thursday, September 29.

But any nerves that the Northern Irishman might have been anticipated to endure previous to the occasion are prone to be numbed by his journey to Greece's occasion island Mykonos the weekend earlier than Team Europe makes an attempt to win again the trophy they conceded in such depressing style at Whilsting Straits two years in the past.

McIlroy is without doubt one of the favourites to win the Irish Open on the Ok Club this weekend earlier than he jets to Rome on Sunday night for just a few days' apply together with his Ryder Cup teammates.

He will then fly again to London to compete within the BMW Championship at Wentworth. But as soon as his involvement within the DP World Tour's flagship occasion has been concluded he might be choosing golf equipment of a distinct variety altogether.

The 34-year-old will spend 48 hours in Mykonos on his buddy's stag weekend, the place actions are typically extra in step with the nineteenth gap.

But regardless of issues that the 2014 Open Champion would possibly overdo it simply days earlier than he's due in Rome for the largest {golfing} occasion in two years, McIlory has assured Team Europe captain Luke Donald that he might be taking it simple.

Speaking on the Ok Club on Wednesday, McIlroy mentioned: "I'm sensible when I need to be. 48 hours, nice little trip, and probably needed it as well, from here to practise in Rome next week to Wentworth. I get back into London on Wednesday evening and then four good days in London to practise and get myself ready to go to Rome."

Understandably, European skipper Donald was pressed by reporters as to what he made from McIlroy's eyebrow-raising schedule, main as much as the massive encounter with the USA in Rome.

Donald revealed that the pair had already mentioned the matter and he had instructed his star participant to get pleasure from himself however to take it as simple as doable.

Donald mentioned: "We spoke at his house maybe 10 days ago, just catching up with him and it did come up. Rory, it's not like Rory is 22 or 21. He understands.

"There's nothing unsuitable with going out and having some enjoyable with your folks. But I believe he is bought sensible sufficient shoulders to know that he will not go loopy, so no issues there."

The message sounds more reassuring than the one McIlroy gave reporters several weeks ago when the World No. 2 was quizzed on the timing of his Greek Island trip. "I've just a few days to dry out earlier than the Ryder Cup," mentioned a smiling McIlroy.

But if the big-hitting celebrity is in search of some hedonistic inspiration forward of Rome, he ought to look no additional than teammate Jon Rahm.

Speaking on Golf Digest's The Loop podcast, the Spaniard revealed how he bought drunk earlier than capturing a spherical of 60 the week earlier than profitable The Masters in April.
