Scottie Scheffler issues response after Rory McIlroy doubles down on praise for PGA Tour rival
Rory McIlroy once again heaped praise on Scottie Scheffler ahead of the Texas Children’s Houston Open, and the world No. 1 also returned the favour to his rival
Rory McIlroy has once again spoken highly of Scottie Scheffler ahead of this week’s Texas Children’s Houston Open, and the world No. 1 offered a similar response.
McIlroy has been the in-form man on the PGA Tour in 2025, securing wins at both the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am back in February and The Players Championship earlier this month. Despite the recent run, though, the four-time major winner still finds himself behind Scheffler in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) after the American’s incredible 2024.
