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.

Speith's A game is spectacular, but Rory's A game is otherworldly.

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.

      Second Cortisone Injection Today

      By flopster ·

      Okay I apologize for allowing so much time elapse between my updates but I am resigned to the fact that surgery is definitely needed I have tried everything else and even paid out of pocket for a "PRP" injection I got 2 months ago and the pain is not going away in fact it's been getting worse. I'm either going in late this month or early February to get this taken care of once and for all.

      Day 172: mirror work for a while during SNF. Working on cleaning up the early backswing stuff. Definitely seeing the improvements I’m looking for.

      Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.

      By saevel25 ·

      OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?
