EXPANDING
Yes, you heard that right. This is nothing short of a box-office brilliance which is sure to send the Golf world into a frenzy. Golf titans Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will play together during the first two rounds of this week’s Genesis Open, where the marquee grouping will be rounded out by reigning Player of the Year Justin Thomas.
Tiger was outflanked by seven shots by McIlroy when they were last paired together in the final round of the 2015 Masters.
The two men have contended together a few times before, notably the 2012 PGA Championship when McIlroy won and Woods finished T-11, and the 2013 Players Championship when Woods won and McIlroy tied for eighth.
What the Golf legends have to say
Rory is all excited to play with Woods. He shared, “I've been a Tiger fan for the last 20 years,'' McIlroy said Wednesday. "I think anyone who is maybe my age and even a little bit older and a little bit younger was inspired by him because of what he did on the golf course and how he approached the game. He was golf for the better part of a decade, if not more. So it's cool to have been able to get to know him and call him a friend.”
Meanwhile, Tiger Woods commented, “ At Augusta we were paired together not too long ago but again, we were a little bit off the pace. Maybe we can both play well and peak at the right time."
We cannot guarantee if the Golf legends would fare well in the tournament, but they sure to woo their Golf fans with their presence.
