Rory McIlroy has opted to work solely with long-time coach Michael Bannon once again after splitting with Pete Cowen.
McIlroy turned to swing guru and straight-talking Englishman Cowen eight months ago as he strived to return to the peak of his powers.

The four-time major champion ended an 18-month trophy drought when he won the Wells Fargo Championship in May and claimed his 20th PGA Tour title with a CJ Cup triumph last month.
McIlroy has now decided to only work with Bannon, who first coached his fellow Northern Irishman at the age of eight.
"Michael and I are back working together," McIlroy told Golfweek.
"I've always had a relationship with Pete and I'll ask for his input if I need it. But now it's Michael and me."
McIlroy had stated after his CJ Cup triumph: "There was a lot of reflection the last couple weeks and this is what I need to do.
"I just need to play golf, I need to simplify it, I need to just be me. For the last few months I was maybe trying to be someone else to try to get better and I sort of realised that being me is enough and being me, I can do things like this."
