Rory mcilroy sprints past xander schauffele, runs away with 2024 wells fargo championship win, share this article.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. —The stars showed up at the PGA Tour’s sixth big-money, no-cut signature event of the season, where two top-five players in the world separated from the pack to set up a slugfest on Sunday.

In the end it was Rory McIlroy who donned the crown and took the throne as the King of the Queen City. The 35-year-old Northern Irishman entered the final round one shot back of Xander Schauffele but flipped the script around the turn to win the 2024 Wells Fargo Championship by a whopping five shots at 17 under after a 6-under 65 at Quail Hollow Club, where he’s now a four-time winner dating back to his maiden victory on Tour in 2010.

“I must say, I do go on Zillow quite a lot and look at some of the properties around here,” McIlroy joked. “I love coming back here, I love spending time here. It’s a place that I’m very comfortable at with Quail Hollow, the city of Charlotte in general and the people. For whatever reason, I get so much great support here.”

“I said it on the 18th green after I won there that all these people have sort of watched me grow up. I won here for the first time as a 20-year-old and now at 35, so they’ve sort of seen my progression throughout the years,” he continued. “I’ve sort of grown up in front of their eyes and I think that’s one of the reasons I get a lot of support here, too.”

McIlroy won his last start at the 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans with his partner and good friend Shane Lowry and now has 26 PGA Tour wins to his name. The four-time major champion hasn’t missed a cut this season on Tour in nine starts and has eight finishes inside the top 25, including a trio of top 10s.

“I don’t know what’s more unbelievable, winning a PGA Tour event for the fourth time or getting my (26th win),” said McIlroy. “Whenever I sort of hit some of these milestones or do these things, I always think back to, for example, like 20-year-old me playing in this tournament for the first time. If I had known back then that this is the way everything was going to pan out, I probably wouldn’t have believed you.”

Schauffele, who finished solo second at 12 under after an even-par 71, hasn’t missed a cut in 12 PGA Tour starts this season and has now bagged 11 top-25 finishes, with eight inside the top 10, including a T-2 at the Players Championship. Ben An (66) continued his solid season with a third-place finish at 9 under, his fifth top-10 finish in 13 starts this year. Jason Day (70) and Sungjae Im (73) finished T-4 at 6 under.

“Mixed bag, for sure,” Schauffele said of his round. “I mean, (Rory) played unbelievable. Looked up at the board and I’m like, ‘Dang, he’s 6 under through 6 on the back nine.’ It’s something else. With that being said, yeah, I mean, overall I felt like I was doing pretty well for most of the day and then had that costly stretch and he capitalized like no other. Big reversal there.”

“I felt like I controlled the ball off the tee pretty well, some of those fairways are pretty daunting. Hit some incredible iron shots that I haven’t been able to do in quite some time, you know, right to left and left to right,” Schauffele explained. “Overall, I just need to clean up my short game, it’s always been a deciding factor whether I win a tournament or not, sort of a trigger stat for me, and it definitely hurt me today.”

McIlroy began the day with a birdie on the first hole to briefly tie Schauffele but fell back with a bad bogey on the par-3 4th hole after his tee shot was a club short and found the bunker.

On No. 6, Schauffele left a birdie putt, albeit a lengthy one, criminally short, which would foreshadow what was to come the rest of the round. From off the green, McIlroy nearly holed his chip and put the pressure on Schauffele to make his knee-knocker for par from eight feet. The putt skated by and the pair were once again tied.

On the par-5 7th, McIlroy missed fairway then barely held the green to leave a lengthy effort for birdie that he didn’t give enough respect nor pace. Schauffele, meanwhile, found the fairway and played the contour of the green to perfection to set up an eagle and bounce back from the bogey and take a two-shot lead after McIlroy three-jacked for par. Then the tide turned.

“You know, that was a big moment on 7. I three-putted, Xander made an eagle. Then Xander was inside me on 8, I knew I really needed to hole that putt just to try to stay or keep up with him,” McIlroy said of the situation. “Then he missed his, I birdied mine and then I just went on a run that for whatever reason I’m able to go on at this golf course.”

McIlroy made birdie on Nos. 8 and 9 from just outside 10 feet while Schauffele missed his birdie efforts from 10 and 31 feet, respectively, to make the turn to the back nine tied at 13 under. McIlroy curled in a 33-footer for eagle to one-up Schauffele’s birdie on No. 10 to take his first lead of the tournament and he never looked back. McIlroy extended his lead with a birdie-birdie-eagle run on Nos. 13-15 – after his eagle he threw his ball into the crowd – while Schauffele stumbled with bogeys on Nos. 12, 13 and 16 and a lone back-nine birdie on No. 15.

Standing on the 18th tee box, McIlroy had a seven-shot lead, which came in handy as his approach to the back pin on the par 4 skipped off the edge and found the creek that runs along the entirety of the hole. A double-bogey six put the cherry on top of a five-shot win.

PGA Tour Championship: How Rory McIlroy rallied to win his record title

When the third round of the PGA Tour Championship finally concluded Sunday morning, Scottie Scheffler appeared to be in full control. His two-shot lead had grown to six, thanks to a four-birdie barrage when play resumed. But one of the most dramatic, tumultuous seasons in professional golf history was never going to dwindle away quietly. Rory McIlroy made sure of that.

Here are the most important notes and stats to know from a thrilling final round at East Lake.

1. Let’s start with what Scheffler did Sunday morning to finish his third round. When play was interrupted Saturday, Scheffler’s vice grip on the FedExCup was loosening. A once-insurmountable advantage had shrunk to just two shots, with Scheffler missing half of his greens in regulation in Round 3 up to that point. The overnight reset seemed to completely recharge the world No. 1, as he hit four of his six approaches Sunday morning inside 12 feet. That two-shot lead was now six, and with his ball striking back in peak form, the tournament looked all but over.

Over the last 15 years, there have been more than 60 instances around the world in officially sanctioned events where a player led by six shots entering the final round. Those players went on to win 89 percent of the time.

2. McIlroy’s brilliant performance Sunday can be credited primarily to the two clubs that generate the most discussion about his on-course performance: the driver, which is often to acclaim, and the putter, which is often the subject of scorn. He was remarkable with both to get his record third FedExCup title.

McIlroy pummeled drive after drive this week, hitting 24 tee shots 325 yards or farther. He led the field in strokes gained off-the-tee in both the third and final rounds, racking up more than 3 1/2 strokes against the field in that discipline alone. And as brilliant as he was off the tee, he might have been even better on the greens Sunday. McIlroy made more than 115 feet of putts and gained 3.92 strokes on the field – both best of any player in the final round.

McIlroy finished the week ranked second in strokes gained putting. It’s the sixth time in his PGA Tour career he has ranked either first or second in the field in that statistic. He’s won four of those tournaments.

3. From 1983 through July of this year, there were more than 1,700 official stroke play events conducted by the PGA Tour. Not one time did a player start a tournament with a triple bogey or worse and go on to win. It has now happened twice in four tournaments this month.

At the Wyndham Championship, Joohyung Kim won by five shots despite starting his week with a quadruple bogey. This week, Rory McIlroy started with a six-shot deficit to Scottie Scheffler – then made a triple bogey on his opening hole. This was the third time McIlroy has made a triple bogey or worse at any point the week of a PGA Tour win. Over the last 40 years, that’s tied for the most wins with a triple – with Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.

4. McIlroy is the first player to win the FedExCup three times, having previously done so in 2016 and 2019. In both of his wins, McIlroy also posted the lowest “gross” score – or the best actual on-course score to par without starting strokes. That was not the case for the other two FedExCup winners under this format (Dustin Johnson in 2020, Patrick Cantlay in 2021). Since the Tour Championship was first held in 1987, only two men have won it more than twice: McIlroy and Woods, with three wins apiece.

Final Tour Championship leaderboard w/o starting strokes: -17 Rory McIlroy -16 Sungjae Im -15 Max Homa -14 Justin Thomas -13 Tom Hoge -12 Xander Schauffele -12 Aaron Wise -12 Sepp Straka -11 Hideki Matsuyama -11 Joaquin Niemann -11 JT Poston -11 Tony Finau -10 Scottie Scheffler — Dylan Dethier (@dylan_dethier) August 28, 2022

5. By losing a six-shot lead, Scheffler tied the PGA Tour record for the largest 54-hole lead by a player who did not go on to win. Incredibly, of the eight times it’s happened, on three occasions it was the reigning world No. 1 player who lost the big advantage. At the 1996 Masters, Greg Norman led by six shots entering the final round before being beat by Nick Faldo. Five years ago at the WGC-HSBC Champions, it was Dustin Johnson who had a six-stroke advantage, but Justin Rose wound up victorious. Now Scheffler.

McIlroy’s six-shot comeback to win is the largest in Tour Championship history. The previous record was five strokes, by Camilo Villegas in 2008.

6. With his brilliant bow on the 2021-22 season, McIlroy wrapped up his fourth career season scoring average title. The Vardon Trophy has been awarded to the player with the best scoring average in a season since the late 1930s. McIlroy is just the sixth player to win the trophy four or more times, joining Woods, Billy Casper, Lee Trevino, Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead.

This is the fourth time McIlroy has won three or more PGA Tour events in a single season. Since 1990, only Woods (13 times) and Mickelson (five) have done that more often.

7. With four wins (most of any player), including a major championship, Scheffler should still take home PGA Tour Player of the Year honors. In 42 days, Scheffler went from the best player on tour without a win to No. 1 in the world. That gap between a player getting his first PGA (or European) Tour win and getting to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking was by far the smallest gap in history. The previous mark belonged to Woods, who took 252 days.

As brilliant as Scheffler was with his approach play Sunday morning, he couldn’t keep the magic through the afternoon. The PGA Tour’s season leader in greens in regulation entering the week, Scheffler hit just nine greens in his final round. He wound up with minus-2.61 strokes gained approach in Round 4, the third-worst total of any player in the field.

8. Sungjae Im finished in a tie for second and may have taken the cup himself if not for an ill-timed double bogey at 14. Im was excellent with his irons in the final round, racking up 2.85 strokes on approach, most of any player. The 24-year-old, who makes his home in the Atlanta area, led the field in front-nine scoring for the week at 13-under.

Im will be a key piece for Trevor Immelman’s International Team at the Presidents Cup next month, especially considering the expected defections of many prospective team members to LIV Golf. Im earned 3 1/2 points for the upstart International side in 2019, tied for most of any player on the team.

9. Xander Schauffele finished fourth, continuing his exemplary run at East Lake. In 24 career rounds at the Tour Championship, Schauffele has never shot a round worse than par. That run is the third-longest active streak of rounds at par or better for a player at a single PGA Tour course, trailing only Stewart Cink at Waialae Country Club (32 in a row) and Billy Horschel at Sedgefield Country Club (27).

Schauffele shot 69 on Sunday, continuing another remarkable streak: He has not shot over par in the final round of a PGA Tour event since the 2020 U.S. Open, nearly two full years ago.

10. East Lake wound up yielding an average score of 67.91 for the week, the lowest number ever at the Tour Championship. In relation to par (-2.09), the course played as the seventh-easiest all season long on the PGA Tour, sandwiched between La Quinta CC (The American Express) and the Country Club of Jackson (Sanderson Farms). Players eviscerated the two par 5s, playing them to an average score of 4.31, the second-lowest average of any course on tour in 2022.

Throughout the tournament, Scheffler stayed in front. For all four rounds and 72 holes, he continued to dominate the greens, while Xander Schauffele tried his best to come up from behind. Schauffele’s last shot during round two proved his determination to come out on top.

Similarly, during the final round, though Scheffler remained in the lead, McIlroy played a number of good holes, keeping him neck-and-neck with Scheffler.

Rory McIlroy outduels Scottie Scheffler to win Tour Championship

ATLANTA — Whether you believe in the golf gods or not, something certainly set up the end of the 2021-22 PGA Tour season in the most compelling way possible. The year's best player and the year's most notable player ended the Tour Championship in what was effectively a match-play duel with eight figures in prize money on the line.

When it was over, Rory McIlroy beat Scottie Scheffler to put an end to a unique PGA Tour season. It marked McIlroy's 22nd career win on the Tour and his third FedExCup, an all-time record.

The winning moment for @McIlroyRory 🏆 pic.twitter.com/kW541guw2z — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) August 28, 2022

Scheffler started the year with one of golf's all-time great victory runs, an eight-week, four-win stretch that culminated in a Masters championship in April. McIlroy took up the baton as the PGA Tour's most eloquent and outspoken defender in the face of a sudden and overwhelming LIV Golf assault. Together, the two shaped the PGA Tour for the majority of 2022, so it was only fitting that they would be the final two players standing on a season unlike any other in golf history.

Coming into Sunday's final round — which began shortly after the last holes of a rain-delayed Saturday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta— Scheffler held a six-stroke lead over the field and appeared primed to walk to a victory that would cap off a singular season.

But Scheffler bogeyed three of the first six holes right as McIlroy, his playing partner, was birdieing four of the first seven. Just like that, a six-stroke lead was gone with 11 holes still to play.

Both players settled down and played par golf for a few holes. But nothing's ever easy with McIlroy — and nothing's too hard for Scheffler, either. McIlroy bogeyed the 14th with an ugly chip, and then rolled in a titanic 32-footer for birdie that brought forth a cheer that resonated all over East Lake.

WOW! HUGE putt from @McIlroyRory to regain a share of the lead @PlayoffFinale . pic.twitter.com/PgnAcqpRtR — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) August 28, 2022

On the next hole, the tension rose even higher as McIlroy flew the green but managed to save par with a seven-footer, while Scheffler missed his own nine-foot par putt. That gave McIlroy a one-stroke lead, marking the first time Scheffler hadn't held at least a share of the lead for the entire tournament. The bogey also had the potential to become the most expensive missed shot of Scheffler's career.

Golf's obsession with money ratcheted to deafening levels in the final holes of the Tour Championship, since the difference between first and second place was so vast. The winner of the Tour Championship gets an $18 million check, while the runner-up gets $6.5 million.

McIlroy's birdie putt on the 17th rolled just past the cup, while Scheffler's nine-footer never even scared the hole. Meanwhile, up ahead, Sungjae Im, who had drawn even with Scheffler at 20-under, just barely missed a birdie putt that would have given him a share of the lead.

So McIlroy and Scheffler headed to the 18th with McIlroy up a stroke on Scheffler and the in-the-clubhouse Im. The gallery following the duo was vast but, understandably, not quite to the level or intensity of the 2018 surge that followed Tiger Woods to victory. Even so, both players felt the warmth of the crowd as they put their 330-plus-yard tee shots into the fairway and prepared to hit over the titular East Lake to the clubhouse.

McIlroy didn't quite perform his signature strut down the 18th fairway, though he did casually munch on an energy bar as if he was in the middle of a practice round. Scheffler, hitting first and perhaps feeling the tension of the moment, put his approach shot into one of the greenside bunkers near the clubhouse. McIlroy didn't fare much better, curling his approach off the edge of a hospitality tent and into the thick rough beneath the tent.

Scheffler punched out of the sand and flew over the entire green, ending in an awkward downhill lie in the fringe. McIlroy, meanwhile, managed to get some relief from the edge of the tent he'd nailed, but his own approach scooted past the cup as if it were a hole in another well-known golf course in Georgia.

Scheffler left himself with a seven-footer for par. McIlroy thus had two strokes to cover 21 feet and win the Tour Championship, and with a gentle tap-in par, he clinched it.

The PGA Tour now heads into its two-week offseason facing strong headwinds — an existential threat from the LIV Golf Invitational Series, a newly empowered group of elite champions, and deep concerns from its rank-and-file, as well as tournaments and sponsors. Golf one year from now could look every bit as different as it did one year ago.

About all that's clear is that Rory McIlroy is the Tour's champion, in more ways than one.

PGA Championship analysis: What to know on Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and more

Follow live coverage of the final round of the 2024 PGA Championship today

It’s rare that the second major championship of a given season feels as climactic as the one about to begin in Kentucky.

A bevy of different circumstances have a handful of the sport’s titans soaring into Valhalla in full flight. There’s golf’s inevitable force, Scottie Scheffler , returning to action following the birth of he and wife Meredith’s first child. He’s won four of his last five tournaments, with only impending fatherhood and Stephan Jaeger slowing him down in any way.

There’s Rory McIlroy, returning to the site of his last major victory. When the golf world left Louisville a decade ago, it was inconceivable that Rory would still be sitting on four major wins in 2024. But just like in 2014, McIlroy enters this PGA coming off back-to-back wins on the PGA Tour . Flying in off a LIV win in Singapore is defending champ Brooks Koepka, only adding more lighter fluid to the dry timber poised to ignite.

Here are the top numbers and notes to know entering the 2024 PGA Championship :

1. If you’d like a good pre-championship laugh, peruse Scheffler ’s PGA Tour statistics page when you get the opportunity. Below is a collection of just some of the stats the new dad leads the Tour in this season:

• Birdie average • Bogey avoidance • Scoring average • Strokes gained off the tee • Strokes gained approach • Greens in regulation • Average proximity to the hole • Putts per green in regulation • Par 3 scoring • Par 4 scoring • Par 5 scoring

Where Scheffler ranks among his peers at the majors the last three years mirrors that remarkable level of success. Since the beginning of 2022, Scheffler leads at the majors in scoring, strokes gained ball striking, rounds led and greens in regulation, among other things. This week marks the 52nd consecutive week for Scheffler as the world’s top player. During that stretch, he has more tournament wins (five) than finishes outside the top 10 (four).

Only two players in the last 50 years have won the first two men’s majors of a given season: Tiger Woods in 2002 and Jordan Spieth in 2015. Scheffler’s pre-tournament odds are the lowest for any player entering a major since Woods’ final run as the world number one in 2013.

2. McIlroy’s 20 top-10 finishes in the majors since his last victory are the most of any player in that span. So why will McIlroy finally break through with major number five this week? Consider his massively improved putting: Entering The Players Championship in March, McIlroy ranked 125th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting per round. Since teeing it up at TPC Sawgrass, he’s a much more respectable 25th in that statistic. McIlroy gained more than four strokes on the greens in the final round at Quail Hollow, his highest single-round total on the PGA Tour in nearly two years.

So much about McIlroy and pro golf has irreversibly changed in the last 10 years. One thing that hasn’t, though, is McIlroy’s undeniable prowess with the driver. In his 2014 PGA win at Valhalla, McIlroy led the field in strokes gained off the tee, gaining more than a shot and a half per round with that club. Last week in Charlotte? More than 1.5 strokes gained off the tee per round, best of any player. McIlroy will need every bit of that brilliance to win this week.

3. Valhalla will play in excess of 7,600 yards this week on the scorecard, 151 yards longer than it did a decade ago. All four of the par 3s are between 190 and 254 yards on the card, good for an average of 216. That’s tied with Bay Hill for the second-longest set of par 3s on the PGA Tour so far this season. Couple those facts with the expected storms in the forecast, and this championship looks especially daunting in terms of length.

Given all of those elements, approach play from 175 to 225 yards will be a key that unlocks birdie opportunities throughout the week. On the PGA Tour this season, the players who have the best average score to par in situations with approach shots from that range — in the fairway or from the tee box — are McIlroy, Scheffler and J.T. Poston. Notables who sit among the best in terms of proximity from that range include Will Zalatoris (third) and Jake Knapp (fourth).

In 2014, missed fairways were particularly penalizing at Valhalla. From the rough, players hit the green in regulation just 43 percent of the time. From the fairway, that number was nearly 70 percent. The average proximity to the hole was more than 13 feet farther away for players who missed the fairway off the tee. For the week, five different holes at Valhalla had an average missed fairway penalty of 0.4 strokes or higher, with the 13th (+0.50 strokes) carrying the steepest cost.

4. When Koepka won at Oak Hill last year, he became just the third player in history to win three PGA Championship titles in a six-year span or less, joining Walter Hagen and Jack Nicklaus. The win was Koepka’s sixth top-five finish at the PGA — in the stroke play era, only two players have more such results: Nicklaus (14) and Woods (eight).

Koepka’s major championship contemporaries may someday include Scheffler or McIlroy, but for the moment his five wins put him in his own class amid the currently-under-40 crowd. Since the beginning of 2017, Koepka has held the lead or co-lead following 18 major championship rounds — 10 more than any other player in that span (Dustin Johnson, eight). His cumulative score of 63-under-par at the PGA is 27 shots clear of the next name on that list (Jason Day, -36).

Combine the pedigree, course characteristics and a win in his most recent start (LIV Singapore), and the recipe for pre-PGA hype is very real for Koepka. Doubt him at your own peril.

5. Of Koepka’s fellow LIV defectors, Bryson DeChambeau is among the most interesting names entering this week. He’s been a consistent factor recently in majors, finishing T-4 at Oak Hill last year and T-6 at Augusta National last month. A lengthy, receptive Valhalla rewarding big-time carry distance fits DeChambeau’s strengths perfectly, too. We mentioned the burly par 3s resembling those at Bay Hill Club and Lodge, a place DeChambeau has won at in the past.

Another LIV player who finished tied for sixth at this year’s Masters is Cam Smith. While on the surface Valhalla GC may not seem like a perfect fit for the Aussie, don’t underestimate what he’s done in the majors recently. Since the beginning of 2022, Smith in the majors ranks second in strokes gained putting, third in strokes gained approach and fourth in strokes gained total.

6. The snakebit Xander Schauffele just can’t seem to get past the final boss of the video game in 2024. At TPC Sawgrass, he carried the solo lead into the final round but finished one shot behind noted prolific birdie-making alien Scheffler. His eagle on the 7th hole Sunday at Quail Hollow gave him a two-shot lead over McIlroy, but 10 holes later he strolled to the final tee box trailing by seven. By the time he hit his final drive, he looked like a man who absorbed an afternoon of body shots from Tyson Fury.

Schauffele has finished in the top 20 in each of the last eight majors, a testament to how high the floor is for the mega-talented American. That he hasn’t finished better than T-8 in any of those eight tournaments speaks to the more discouraging trend. Schauffele checks every analytical box suggesting a major breakthrough is imminent: This season, only Scheffler has averaged more strokes gained tee to green or more strokes gained total than Schauffele has.

While it might feel like Schauffele has been around on the biggest stage forever, he’ll be just 31 years old this fall. The average age of the last 50 first-time major winners in men’s golf is 30.6.

7. At Augusta National, only Scheffler kept Ludvig Aberg from becoming the first player to win the Masters in his major championship debut. His performance answered any lingering questions about his game, inexperience or the weight of expectations on the 24-year-old Texas Tech product. The biggest question entering this week is regarding health, specifically the balky knee that kept him out of the field last week in Charlotte.

Aberg has averaged 4.94 birdies or better per round on the PGA Tour since turning professional last summer before the RBC Canadian Open. Only Scheffler has averaged more in that span (5.10).

Three men have won in their PGA Championship debut since 2000: Shaun Micheel (2003), Keegan Bradley (2011) and Collin Morikawa (2020). Aberg will try to join them this week.

8. There are five players ranked in the top 10 of the OWGR who have not won a major. Behind Schauffele (third) and Aberg (sixth) are three men whose games are going in a variety of different directions.

Down: Viktor Hovland, world No. 7. Working through swing changes this season has wrecked the reigning FedExCup champ’s ball striking statistics. After ranking in the top 15 on the PGA Tour in strokes gained approach each of the four previous years, Hovland is a pedestrian 81st in 2024. He ranks 122nd in strokes gained tee-to-green this season, down from fifth last year. It’s added up to zero top-20 finishes in seven PGA Tour starts.

But did he find something at Quail Hollow? In the final round, Hovland hit 16 greens in regulation, gaining nearly four shots on the field with his approach play. Hovland is far too talented for the changes to not eventually click.

Neutral: Patrick Cantlay, world No. 8. Rome’s favorite hatless son hasn’t played poorly per se, with high finishes at Riviera (T-4) and Harbour Town (T-3). But his underlying ball striking numbers are a red flag: down 80 spots from last season in strokes gained tee to green (to 83rd) and 108 spots in strokes gained approach (to 126th). The prolific Tour winner has one top-five finish in 28 career major starts.

Up: Max Homa, world No. 9. After not finishing in the top 10 in any of his first 16 majors, Homa appears much more comfortable in the spotlight at the game’s biggest events. The California native is one of two players to have finished in the top 10 at the last two majors (Tommy Fleetwood is the other). Homa’s season stats aren’t quite what they were a year ago, but he’s still picking up significant strokes approaching, around and on the greens in 2024.

9. Which Jon Rahm will we see this week in Louisville? There were times at the Masters when the then-reigning champ looked downright despondent, including in the press room before the tournament began. Rahm finished the week in a tie for 45th before putting a green jacket on Scheffler’s shoulders later that afternoon.

While Rahm has yet to win an individual LIV Golf title this year, he hasn’t played poorly. He ranks second in the season points standings and leads all players in birdie average (5.24 per round). Rahm is the only player ranked in the top 10 on LIV in greens in regulation, scrambling percentage and putting average. Since the beginning of 2020, only Scheffler (-73) and McIlroy (-34) have a better cumulative score in the majors than Rahm does (-33).

10. Somehow it has only been three years since Phil Mickelson won the PGA at Kiawah Island at age 50. While much was made of his contemporary Tiger Woods breaking the consecutive cuts made record at the Masters last month, Mickelson has some potential longevity-related history he could make at Valhalla.

Lefty has made the cut at the PGA Championship 27 times, tied with Jack Nicklaus and Raymond Floyd for most ever. Mickelson has finished in the top 10 all three times the PGA has been contested at this venue: T-8 in 1996, T-9 in 2000 and runner-up ten years ago.

Valhalla hosted Woods’ duel with Bob May nearly a quarter-century ago. The famed “putt and point” by a young, wiry Woods will undoubtedly be played dozens of times this week, one of the countless big moments from Woods’ halcyon turn-of-the-century peak. Projected stop-and-start weather conditions won’t make the walk any easier this week for Woods’ surgically constructed body.

Michael Block , Luke Donald and Micheel have the first tee time off one Thursday at 7:15 a.m EDT (12:15 p.m BST).

Rory McIlroy blasts past Xander Schauffele to win Wells Fargo Championship

Rory McIlroy heads into the PGA off back-to-back wins for the first time since his last major title.

Rory McIlroy waited for his moment Sunday at Quail Hollow. And when the moment came, he didn’t stop.

McIlroy went on a tear through the middle of the final round of the Wells Fargo Championship, making two eagles to play an eight-hole stretch in eight under and turn a one-shot deficit to Xander Schauffele to start the day into a five-shot win. According to stats guru Justin Ray , it’s McIlroy’s 14th come-from-behind win, six more than any other player since 2010.

The World No. 2 finished at 17 under after a final-round 65 for his fourth career victory at Quail Hollow. It’s also McIlroy’s 26th PGA Tour victory and officially his second in a row after he won the Zurich Classic team event with Shane Lowry two weeks ago.

“Quail Hollow, Charlotte in general has been really good to me over my career and this is just another great day to sort of add to all the rest of them,” McIlroy said. “I feel like these people have sort of watched me grow up from winning here as a 20-year-old to being the ripe old age of 35 now. They’ve sort of seen my progression throughout my career, and I’ve been lucky enough to win here four times. The support that I get here is absolutely amazing.”

The last time McIlroy won his last two starts heading into a major was before his most recent major title at the 2014 PGA Championship, played at Valhalla, this year’s host site.

McIlroy birdied the first hole Sunday to quickly pull even with Schauffele, who had led alone for most of the tournament after opening with 64. But after Schuaffele converted a mid-length eagle putt on the 7th and McIlroy three-putted for par, the 34-year-old Northern Irishman found himself two back.

That’s when he turned on the jets, birdieing the 8th and 9th to pull even at the turn. When he drilled a 34-putt for eagle on the 10th, McIlroy had the lead to himself.

“That was a big moment on 7,” McIlroy said. “I three-putted, Xander made an eagle. Then Xander was inside me on 8, I knew I really needed to hole that putt just to try to stay or keep up with him. Then he missed his, I birdied mine and then I just went on a run that for whatever reason I’m able to go on at this golf course.”

McIlroy never looked back as he added birdies at 13 and 14 before he holed a bunker shot on 15 for a second eagle, both coming on the back nine par-5s, for the exclamation point.

By the 18th, McIlroy was up by seven, meaning that when his second shot bounced past the pin and into the water beyond the green, it was inconsequential. McIlroy’s closing double bogey took nothing away from the ovation he received after holing the final putt on the same green where he completed his first PGA Tour win.

How does Rory McIlroy fit in golf leadership? It’s a hot debate

Schauffele couldn’t keep pace, making three back-nine bogeys, but his even-par 71 was good enough to finish three clear of Ben An, who shot 66 Sunday to take solo third. Sunday marked yet another close call for Schauffele, the World No. 4, who hasn’t won since the 2022 Scottish Open. While he moves to second in the FedEx Cup standings, he also blew the 54-hole lead at the Players Championship and now moves to two-for-eight when holding the 54-hole lead in his PGA Tour career.

“He played unbelievable,” Schauffele said of McIlroy. “[I] looked up at the board and I’m like, dang, he’s six under through 6 on the back nine, it’s something else. With that being said, overall I felt like I was doing pretty well for most of the day and then had that costly stretch and he capitalized like no other. Big reversal there.”

For McIlroy, his win capped another tumultuous week relating to the ongoing negotiations between the PGA Tour and the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. He revealed this week that he wouldn’t be rejoining the PGA Tour Policy Board after previously announcing his return following a resignation in the fall.

Instead, it was reported McIlroy will serve on the Transaction Subcommittee that will negotiate with PIF.

McIlroy also denied a reported rift between himself and Tiger Woods.

But McIlroy’s attention will now turn to Valhalla, where he seeks to win his first major title in 10 years, having finished in the top 10 in seven of his last nine majors. McIlroy, World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and defending PGA champion Brooks Koepka have now all won in their final start in advance of the year’s second major.

Rory McIlroy rallies to win the Wells Fargo Championship for a record fourth time

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rory McIlroy won the Wells Fargo Championship for a record fourth time Sunday, overcoming a two-stroke deficit top beat Xander Schauffele by five strokes.

No other player has won the event more than twice.

McIlroy closed with a 6-under-par 65, playing the final 11 holes in 6 under even with a double bogey on the 18th hole. He finished at 17-under 267 after four straight rounds in the 60s and won his second straight PGA Tour event after teaming with Shane Lowry to take the Zurich Classic two weeks ago in New Orleans.

Schauffele shot 71.

The star from Northern Ireland pulled even after birdies on Nos. 8 and 9 and then made a 33-foot eagle putt on the 10th for his first lead of the tournament after Schauffele settled for birdie.

Schauffele's bogey at 12 gave McIlroy more breathing room.

McIlroy then essentially sealed the win on 13 when he made birdie and Schauffele missed another putt for bogey, resulting in a four-shot advantage.

But McIlroy wasn't done.

He made another birdie on 14 and then punctuated the victory by chipping in from the sand for another eagle on No. 15 to move to 19 under.

At that point the only question was if McIlroy could match his own course record of 61 and tournament record of 21 under.

But he managed a smile when he blew his second shot on No. 18 over the green and into the water and had to take a drop. He tapped in for a double bogey victory as the crowd chanted his name.

McIlroy's finish was reminiscent of 2010 when he carded six straight 3s en route to a final round 62 to beat Phil Mickleson for his first career PGA Tour win. He also won the event in 2015 and 2021.

McIlroy has long called Quail Hollow one of his favorite courses because it allows for him to take advantage of his length off the tee. But it was his putting that won him the 26th career PGA Tour title Sunday.

Four-time @WellsFargoGolf winner @McIlroyRory addresses the media after securing his 26th victory on TOUR 🏆 https://t.co/ZAj8zxGoJC — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 12, 2024

He needed just 25 putts, making five longer than 10 feet.

For Schauffele, it was a disappointing ending to a strong week.

He finished second for the second straight year and saw his winless drought stretch to 39 tournaments, a streak dating to 2022. He led by four shots after 36 holes.

Byeong Hun An was third at 9 under, and Jason Day and Sungjae Im tied for fourth a 6 under.

Max Homa turned in the shot of the day.

Homa holed from the rough from 213 yards for an eagle on No. 1, with his ball landing on the front of the green and rolling all the way to the back before hitting the flagstick hard and dropping in. But the two-time Wells Fargo champion couldn’t build on the momentum after that shooting 72 and finishing in ninth place.

Rory McIlroy scores record 10 birdies in bounce back to take clubhouse lead at Players Championship 2024

The no. 2 player in the world seemed to figure out his iron play at tpc sawgrass.

Following a five-hour range session Monday to kick off 2024 Players Championship week, Rory McIlroy believed he'd straightened out some of what plagued him at the four PGA Tour events leading into the tournament. If the early evidence is any indication, he's correct.

McIlroy shot an opening-round 65 on Thursday -- scoring a Players record-tying 10 birdies while doing so -- to co-lead at TPC Sawgrass alongside Xander Schauffele as the duo entered the clubhouse in the early afternoon.

For a while, it appeared as if McIlroy may go even lower. He was 6 under through eight holes on the back nine before hitting a ball in the water on the 18th. McIlroy was able to salvage a bogey and went on another birdie run across the front nine. Then came the controversial seventh hole, Rory's 16th of the day.

The No. 2 player in the world pulled another drive (his one issue Thursday) into the water, which led to a lengthy exchange between playing partners Jordan Spieth and Viktor Hovland about where the ball bounced, crossed and ultimately ended up. 

Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth and Viktor Hovland discuss McIlroy's drop on No. 7. Rory makes double bogey to move from solo leader to T2. pic.twitter.com/dkV6a5Q22W — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) March 14, 2024

Despite some apparent disagreement, McIlroy dropped where he originally presumed was the proper spot to drop and went on to make a double bogey. He said he felt comfortable with his decision and remained convinced that he saw the ball bounce above the red line.

"Jordan was just trying to make sure that I was doing the right thing," McIlroy said after the round. "I was pretty sure that my ball had crossed where I was sort of dropping it. It's so hard, right, because there was no TV evidence. I was adamant. But, again, he was just trying to make sure that I was going to do the right thing. If anything, I was being conservative with it.

"At the end of the day, we're all trying to protect ourselves, protect the field, as well. I wouldn't say [the conversation] was needless. He was just trying to make sure that what happened was the right thing."

When pressed about the drop he took on the 18th, McIlroy said much of the same. 

"[It] was a pretty similar situation," he said. "Again, adamant it crossed, it's just a matter of where it crosses. This golf course, more than any other, it sort of produces those situations a little bit. Again, like I feel like I'm one of the most conscientious golfers out here, so if I feel like I've done something wrong, it'll play on my conscience for the rest of the tournament. I'm a big believer in karma, and if you do something wrong, I feel like it's going to come around and bite you at some point."

Following the exchange and the double bogey on the 7th, McIlroy closed out his round with a par at the 8th and yet another birdie on the par-5 9th, which meant he birdied all four par 5s on the golf course Thursday.

It was an "only in golf" kind of day.

McIlroy, in the midst of one of the great driving stretches of his career, lost strokes off the tee. He said Wednesday that his feel with woods (including driver) is "amazing" right now, and the numbers back him up. He's No. 1 on the PGA Tour in strokes gained off the tee so far this season. So, of course he struggled with some swings but was first in the field on approach play, a fact of the game he's battled for much of the PGA Tour season, ranking 152nd on Tour.

"I'm not sure how the strokes gained approach stats look like, but it's probably been one of my best days in a while, which is really nice," he said. "Yeah, the feeling is good with the irons, and the feeling with the driver and the 3-wood is just a little bit different. But as long as I remind myself on the tee box that, OK, this is a wood , and I get on the fairway, and this is an iron , and I've got two different feels and two different thoughts, then it's OK."

McIlroy said a poor performance last Sunday at Bay Hill -- where he shot 76 after playing his way into contention at the Arnold Palmer Invitational -- may have inadvertently led to some success, at least so far this week.

"Just I needed to clean up the technique a little bit, needed to clean up some things," he said. "Honestly, just needed to put the time in. I've wanted to play a lot to start this year, and I have, but when you play a lot, you don't maybe get the time to practice all that much.

"At the same time, say I had a decent day on Sunday at Bay Hill and shot 70, for sure I would have taken Monday off here. But because of not shooting a decent score, I grinded on the range and figured something out and put the time in, and it's sort of already reaping benefits, so that's nice."

In 2019, in McIlroy's lone win at the Players Championship, he opened with 67 and trailed the leaders by two. His 10 birdies tied the record, previously set by Taylor Moore (2023), Tom Hoge (2023), Patton Kizzire (2022), Cameron Smith (2022), Colt Knost (2016) and Justin Thomas (2015).
