There was only one thing more predictable than Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy winning the Crypto.com Showdown yesterday in Las Vegas. And that would be that if the duo did win, Scottie wouldn’t understand what he just won.
Calling his six Race to Dubai wins “a huge achievement”, McIlroy was clearly keen to enjoy the moment and the fact that he has now tied the record of the late, great Seve Ballesteros. Only Colin Montgomerie’s eight wins are still to be surpassed.
After its inaugural season was postponed for a full year, TGL, the tech-infused team golf league created by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy and their TMRW Sports business venture, released its 2025 schedule, which begins on January 8 and culminates in a best-of-three playoff series on March 25-26.
We don’t know if Rory McIlroy regularly tunes in to “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” on the ABC network in the US. But if he was happening to watch the program last Sunday, he would have seen himself become the target of truly out-of-nowhere swipe.
An 18-hole made-for-TV spectacle featuring Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau that was announced last month will take place on December 17 at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas, according to a press release.
