Rookie golf phenom to join forces with Scottie Scheffler ahead of fierce Rory McIlroy rematch

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are poised to lock horns once again, and the world No. 1 has struck an early blow. The best two players on the planet have signed up for a renewal of the unique, made-for-television Golf Channel Games in December. Both men will be back to captain new-look teams after the drama of 2025 when the event was tied going into the last event – a pitching competition at Trump National in Florida. McIlroy will be gunning for revenge having been edged out by Team Scheffler during last year’s first ever edition of the games.
