After battling a virus the past few weeks and traveling to Dubai to try and hinder Luke Donald from making history at the Dubai World Championship.
World No. 2 Rory McIlroy has withdrawn from the first year event, the Thailand Golf Championship.
Due to his doctor's recommendation, McIlroy will stay there in Dubai, to recover from the Dengue Fever he contracted earlier this year.
"Can't wait to not have to get up and practice or hit a shot or people telling me what to do or where to go, or just have a few weeks off would be nice," said the young Northern Ireland star.
"The doctor said don't bother getting on a flight for a few days, just completely stay in the one place for a while and just chill out.”
McIlroy; and his clubs, are now on the shelf for the rest of 2011.

McIlroy under the weather heading to Dubai and duel with Donald
After his win in China at the UBS Hing Kong Open, U.S. Open Champion Rory McIlroy appeared on the Golf Channel's Morning Drive. In their traditional 'Champions Tuesday' slot.
The 22-year old Northern Irishman let out that he had in fact trying to shake a virus off now for a few weeks as he battled to chase down Luke Donald for a shot at the European Tour's money title.
"My energy levels just haven't been 100 percent. Just got more tests done today and have to wait on the results."
"But I feel fine. Need to do all I can do to catch Luke Donald."
The two-time winner in 2011 and No. 2 ranked player in the world will need to win the Dubai World Championship this week, and have Donald finish no better than ninth if he was to have any chance of taking the European money title away from the World's No. 1 ranked player.
Jokingly, McIlroy continued on to say, "You make it sound as if I'm on my last leg. It's not that bad."
Donald is trying to become the first player ever to win the money titles on both the PGA and European Tour's in the same year.
