Featured pairing for American Express Round 2
With Rory McIlroy sitting out this week’s event, your top-ranked competitor at PGA West is Scottie Scheffler. The World No. 2 held the No. 1 ranking for much of last year, thanks to a hot stretch in the spring that saw him win four times by April.
Scheffler experienced a slow stretch through the summer, at least by the lofty standards he set early in the year, but he finished the year strong and continued his strong play into the new year. Now he’s got a chance to get regain the top spot with a win.
For Friday’s second round of the American Express, Scheffler will play alongside Tony Finau beginning at 1:31 p.m. ET on PGA West’s Nicklaus course. You can stream Friday’s second round via PGA Tour Live on ESPN+.
