PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Ben Hogan-Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer-Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson are among golf’s greatest rivalries. Their battles were every bit as intense as Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier or New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox.
As soon as Jordan Spieth sank the winning putt at the Masters last month, so began the talk of golf’s next great budding rivalry: Rory McIlroy vs. Spieth. It’s only natural that such talk would surface now that they are Nos. 1 and 2, respectively, in the Official World Golf Ranking. To hear Spieth tell it, bring it on!
