The PGA of America smartly created a mega group for the first two rounds of the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, putting together Scheffler, the World No. 1, with the next two men in the rankings, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele.

The super-grouping of the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 players in the world may have a difficult time finishing that way on the final leaderboard at the PGA Championship.

Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Xander Schauffele were supposed to be the marquis group to watch on Thursday at the PGA Championship. It didn’t look like it

Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas turned in good weeks at the Truist Championship to hold onto the top spots on the PGA Tour money list.
