Honestly I don't think this is a good pairing for Jordan.

You could be right, but he looked really good here last year in the first couple rounds.

I picked Jordan.

I voted McIlroy.

No good reason.

I voted for Rory, but… I didn't invest a lot of thought. Rory tends to play well when on form. He just won.

I'm going with Spieth because Rory struggled a bit with the driver last week and Sawgrass isn't as forgiving off the tee as Harding.

I voted Rory. He's seem to be getting better and better with each round. Jordan looks to be regressing a bit from his Masters outlier performance.

No personal preference.   I voted for Rory b/c he just won a tournament and may carry that to the tournament.

It's a close call, and should be a classic match-up.......cue the kiss of death and both miss the cut! Rory to come out on top, because as others have said, when he's on it, nobody comes close to competing with him.

Rory, because he has made a lot more birdies here last couple of years at Sawgrass and he is in form.

I voted Rory because I'm a McIlroy homer. :-P On any given day it's a toss up between them, but if they are both bringing their A game Rory comes out on top. Speith's A game is spectacular, but Rory's A game is otherworldly.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

IMO - this is true - but Speith's regular game is closer to his A game at all times

tough pick

I hope playing together motivates them both to whatever their next level is.  I wouldn't be surprised to see them both just leave the rest of the field in the dust.

Only one other golfer has an A game as good as Rory's A game - and he hasn't shown it for years.

Agree 100% about the gap between Speith's regular game and A game being much tighter. Very consistent player and that'll serve him well throughout his career.

Rory wins the pic battle but Jordan will beat him on the course.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

      I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them

      I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
