Former world number one golfer Rory McIlroy took a break from the course to mingle with Miami Heat basketball stars LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.

The Northern Irishman was in the crowd for Heat's victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday following his joint-45th finish at the Houston Open.

McIlroy posted a photo of himself sandwiched in between the players, with the caption: "With a couple of legends tonight! @KingJames @DwyaneWade made me realise just how small I am!! Lol"

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old has postponed a trip to Haiti with UNICEF in order to focus on preparations for the Masters.
