NORTON, Mass. – It’s a dream playoff scenario for the PGA Tour, with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy paired together Saturday at The Northern Trust.
Too bad they’re in the third group off in the morning, at 8:30 a.m. ET – and a dozen shots off the lead.
It’ll be the first time they’ve been paired in a third round since the 2013 U.S. Open. Their last weekend pairing in a stroke-play event was the final round of the 2018 Tour Championship, when Woods outplayed McIlroy, 71-74, on his way to winning for the 80th time on Tour.
