Rory v Scottie: It's game's mega match-up

The top two players in the world will play side by side in the first two rounds of the BMW Championship, as the PGA Tour paired Scottie Scheffler with Rory McIlroy to begin the penultimate tournament of the season.

Scheffler and McIlroy are slated to tee off together today and tomorrow at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. They're not only 1-2 in the world rankings, but also in the FedEx Cup race as the season winds down.

The duo combined to win three of the four major championships this year and Scheffler is the defending FedEx Cup champion, while McIlroy has won it three times.

When Scheffler and McIlroy played together in the first two rounds of the PGA Championship, alongside Xander Schauffele, Scheffler shot 5-under-par on his way to capturing the major title, while McIlroy struggled to 1 over par and eked into the weekend.
