Rory McIlroy's chasing his next big goal. In his way? Patrick Reed

They’re meeting on a new battleground. And with something decidedly different at stake. We’re now a decade into the McIlroy-Reed rivalry. The two tangled in singles at the 2016 Ryder Cup and in the final group at Augusta National in the 2018 Masters. They chose opposite sides in the LIV Golf-PGA Tour saga. Reed’s lawyer subpoenaed McIlroy on Christmas Eve in 2022. Things got chippy on the driving range in Dubai in 2023. You get the idea; these two won’t soon be going on holiday together.
