McIlroy returns to Abu Dhabi hoping ‘to get the job done’

Armed with a new outlook on life, Rory McIlroy is eager to get over a torrid 2020 and hit the reset button in Abu Dhabi at a tournament that has frustrated him as much as rewarded him.

The 31-year-old Northern Irishman, who became a father last year, returns to the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship after a gap of two years.

In his previous 10 appearances, McIlroy has finished second four times and third on three occasions.

Apart from a solitary missed cut in 2013, he has just one finish outside the top-10 – a tied-11th place in his first visit to the UAE capital in 2008.
