Scheffler and McIlroy have been crushing it of late, and a head-to-head battle is certainly in the cards next week

Highlighting the world-class field is Rory McIlroy. The world No. 2 has won this tournament three times (2010, ’15 and ’21). Wyndham Clark is the defending champion. Like McIlroy, Clark collected his first Tour title at Quail Hollow and went on to become a major champion, also winning the ’23 U.S. Open at LA Country Club.

Scottie Scheffler is the world's best golfer, and it's not particularly close. As Mugatu would say, "He's so hot right now." He's less than one month removed from winning his second Masters Tournament and has been atop the World Golf Rankings for 51 consecutive weeks.

Scottie Scheffler watches his tee shot on the second hole during the final round of the RBC Heritage golf tournament, Sunday, April 21, 2024, in Hilton Head Island, S.C. Scheffler has skipped a few weeks of tournaments to be with his wife as they await the birth of their first child.
