The showdown between two golf stars doing something even Tiger Woods never did…. full details below
Rory McIlroy and world No 1 Scottie Scheffler are tied-sixth and four strokes back at Le Golf National; Xander Schauffele and Jon Rahm lead on 14 under and Tommy Fleetwood a shot back in third; watch the PGA Tour’s FedExCup Playoffs live this month
Jon Rahm and Xander Schauffele will take a share of the lead into the final round of the men’s golf competition at the Olympics, with Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler still in the medal hunt in Paris.
There isn’t one single moment that captures just how crazy Scottie Scheffler’s year has been.
He’s gone from wearing a green jacket to an orange prison jumpsuit to a gold Olympic medal. He enjoyed a five-tournament stretch when his worst finish was coming second—by a single stroke. He’s broken his own record for the most prize money ever earned in a single PGA Tour season.
McIlroy has won twice on the PGA Tour this season, adding to the early-year victory on the DP World Tour at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, although still remains without a major success since 2014 and has had multiple near-misses during the campaign.
The world No 3 heads into the FedExCup Playoffs third in the season-long standings behind world No 1 Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, a two-time major winner this year, although he believes he can “change the narrative” of his campaign with a strong three-week stretch.

McIlroy has won twice on the PGA Tour this season, adding to the early-year victory on the DP World Tour at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, although still remains without a major success since 2014 and has had multiple near-misses during the campaign.
The world No 3 heads into the FedExCup Playoffs third in the season-long standings behind world No 1 Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, a two-time major winner this year, although he believes he can “change the narrative” of his campaign with a strong three-week stretch.
“I would have liked to have added a couple more to that win column. But there’s still three tournaments left in this PGA Tour season. Even the three years that I’ve won the FedExCup, 2016 I came into the Playoffs I think in 36th and was able to win, but then ’19 and ’22 I was a little further up and a little closer to the lead.
He teamed up with Shane Lowry to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in late April and registered a record fourth Wells Fargo Championship victory a week later, but saw his major drought extended with a share of 12th at the PGA Championship.
McIlroy ended tied-12th at the RBC Canadian Open added another top-15 at The Memorial, then agonisingly missed out on an elusive fifth major victory when he squandered a two-shot lead over the closing holes and finished runner-up to Byron DeChambeau at the US Open.
The former world No 1 returned from skipping the Travelers Championship to take tied-fourth in his Genesis Scottish Open title defence, before making a shock early exit from The Open at Royal Troon.
BREAKING NEWS: Athletes Extremely Get You Exhausted, Over All Obstacles I have Build My Own Legacy Dustin Johnson Open Up As His Set To say goodbye to… Full Details Below
Simply put, time does not exist for golf legend Dustin Johnson
Case in point: as Johnson waltzed onto our set in early May with an infectious energy, he casually hinted that he had just returned home from his 20-plus-hour flight from Singapore with no signs of fatigue. And while Johnson admits he had been jet-lagged that morning, he did exactly what a true athlete does in extreme exhaustion — he went to the gym at 4:30 in the morning
Time is just a construct for Johnson; in the hours I got to know him, I quickly realized that time does not control the professional athlete. It motivates and excites him. In fact, he was approaching a major milestone, his 40th birthday, the following month, and he could not have been more elated to go up to Nashville with his closest friends and family to celebrate. And at just 40, the name Dustin Johnson has become synonymous with golf phenomenons — yet another thing for him to celebrate.
Johnson turned professional in 2007 and has since accumulated over 24 PGA Tour victories, winning the US Open in 2016 and the Masters Tournament in 2020 with a record score. He boasts six World Golf Championship victories, second only to Tiger Woods in the number of wins, and he is the first and only player to have won each of the four World Golf Championship events. With his victory at the 2020 Travelers Championship, Johnson became the third player in the PGA Tour history to win a Tour title in each of his first 13 seasons, joining the ranks of Jack Nicklaus (17 seasons) and Tiger Woods (14 seasons).
In 2022, Johnson made a statement by leaving the PGA Tour (the Tour) and joining the new global golf tour, LIV Golf, alongside Brooks Koepka, Phil Mickelson, and Bubba Watson, among others. “It’s been cool to do something different. I was on the Tour for 15 years, and I love everything it did for me — I always have and still do,” admits Johnson. “But it is also pretty cool to start something completely new and it’s more of a global tour, where you play in places around the world. I am definitely traveling more with LIV Golf, and I think that will continue to be bigger within the next few years — we aren’t even two years in yet.”
With so many major accomplishments under his belt, taking this risk felt right for Johnson. “I still want to compete at a very high level,” Johnson explained when speaking about LIV Golf. “Because I am not getting any younger, I have to work harder than I did before to keep myself in good form, but I still feel great. Actually, my game is very close to being back to where it was when I was competing and having the chance to win every week.”
Again, time and age don’t matter. “I feel like I have a lot of really good golf left in me,” Johnson says with a smile spreading across his face. “Major championships are still very important to me.”
There is an old saying — why fix something that is not broken? — which, to me, perfectly summarizes Johnson. He keeps his circle tight; his brother, Austin Johnson, has been his caddy for many years, and his manager, David Winkle, has been there for him since the day he went pro, both contributing to his immense success on the course. Having a steady team has allowed Johnson to not only focus on his sport but also be himself.
This saying also applies to his personal style. His favorite color, you may wonder? Blue. He just knows it works for him. Johnson showed up to our cover shoot with his entire wardrobe curated (with perhaps a little help from his wife, Paulina Gretzky). And while his wardrobe and personal style err on the more minimalistic side, with traditional tailoring and a neutral color palette, there’s one accessory that does not: his timepieces.
Another immediate parallel I drew spending time with Johnson was that his relationship with Hublot is the perfect pairing. Hublot’s reputation is unconventional in its design. It is a disruptor in the industry, and so is Johnson. He commands a room while Hublot commands attention to detail. In fact, if Johnson had a clean slate without any watch brand ties yet and I could decide which brand would best suit his personality, I too, would choose Hublot.
SAD NEWS: Too Bad The World No.1 Golfer Scottie Scheffler is Down On A Fatal Injury first time ever since his 2021 car crash As His set to undergo… Full Details Below
World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler is eyeing his seventh TOUR title of 2024 as he heads to the iconic Royal Troon for the 152nd Open Championship. Scheffler made history by becoming the first player since Arnold Palmer in 1962 to win six TOUR titles before July. Now, he aims to follow Palmer’s footsteps by securing his seventh title of the season at The Open.
Tiger Woods is participating in the 2024 British Open at Royal Troon. This marks his return to the Open Championship after missing the cut in 2022. Woods, a three-time Open winner, last played at Royal Troon in 2004, where he tied for ninth place.
But Scheffler faces stiff competition. World No. 2 Rory McIlroy, still chasing his elusive fifth major title, hopes to bounce back from his U.S. Open heartbreak. Tiger Woods, the 15-time major champion, returns to compete in all four majors for the first time since his 2021 car crash.
The British Open field also includes other contenders like Ludvig Åberg, Viktor Hovland, and Jon Rahm. Scheffler, fresh off his Masters Tournament victory, seeks to add another major to his impressive 2024 campaign.
