Scottie Scheffler has broken his silence on Rory McIlroy’s rivalry with Bryson DeChambeau, and it’s fair to say he’s not a fan of it.
McIlroy spoke about DeChambeau’s rule controversy at The Open Championship, saying, “I’m not particularly fond of him”. DeChambeau protested a penalty ruled against him after the second round of The Open late into the evening, in a move McIlroy described as “performative”.
The rivalry between DeChambeau and McIlroy goes way back. DeChambeau is the face of LIV Golf, which McIlroy has had public battles with in the past, and after DeChambeau beat McIlroy at the 2024 US Open, there has always been tension between the pair.
But in response to McIlroy’s comments, Scheffler said he’s not a fan of “personal jabs”, taking the side of DeChambeau in this instance. The world number one added that he doesn’t think rivalries are a big thing in golf because players aren’t competing one on one. “My biggest rivalry week in and week out is the golf course,” said Scheffler.
But this is a take that Dan Rapaport vehemently disagrees with.
