NAPA, Calif. (AP) -- Rory McIlroy is starting a new season on one tour before he finishes another season on his other tour.
McIlroy highlights the field at Silverado for the Frys.com Open, which kicks off the PGA Tour season that ended just three weeks ago. The four-time major champion is playing only as part of an agreement when he took part in an exhibition in Turkey three years ago. Tiger Woods also was supposed to play until he had a second back surgery.
But McIlroy's appearance is an example of how hectic a global golf schedule can be.
