Over the years, there have been number of iterations of a “Big Three” in golf. Scottie Scheffler, Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy are the current “Big Three.”
Earlier this year, it didn’t look like Rahm was going to lose another golf tournament, having won three of his first five starts.in March, Scheffler entered the fray and has looked close to unstoppable since, most recently winning the Players Championship.“I look at both of those guys and it’s hard to see them not consistently finishing in the top 10 of every tournament that they play,” McIlroy said. “They both do it a different way. They both sort of have different attitudes towards the game.
“I think if you look at a lot of the leaderboards, we’ve been pretty close to winning most of the elevated events,’’ Scheffler said. “You had Jon beating up on everybody starting the year, and I had a little run there with the Players in Phoenix and Rory is up on a bunch of leaderboards like he seemingly always is.
Asked if that’s making him, McIlroy and Rahm better, Scheffler smiled and said, “We are definitely not making each other worse, that’s for sure.”Patrick Cantlay, who’s ranked No. 4 in the world, insisted he doesn’t “think about” the three players in front of him in the rankings, but added, “Definitely, when I see other people win golf tournaments, it makes me hungrier to go out and win golf tournaments.
Justin Thomas, a two-time PGA Championship winner is another player like Cantlay who’s just on the outside looking up at the current “Big Three.” He’s surely in a “what-about-me” mode.
