Los Angeles (AFP) - World number one Rory McIlroy further fanned speculation he'll return from injury to defend his PGA Championship title next week with social media posts on Friday suggesting he was headed Stateside.

McIlroy has not played since suffering ankle ligament damage while playing football with friends on July 4.

He looked to be on the road to recovery in pictures and videos posted on social media this week, which showed him working out in the gym and hitting a driver.
