Colin Montgomerie will consult a specialist about an ongoing back problem before deciding his pre-Ryder Cup schedule.
The 39-year-old Scot has been carrying the injury for most of the season and is unlikely to play in next week's BMW International Open in Munich.
"He saw doctors in America the week before the USPGA and they confirmed he does not require surgery and it is not a serious injury, although it does cause him pain," confirmed the player’s manager Guy Kinnings.
Montgomerie plans to miss the European Masters in Switzerland the week after the BMW International Open. He will, however, play in the German Masters and American Express Championships at Mount Juliet in the weeks preceding the Ryder Cup at the Belfry.
