Witnessing the top names in the golf event competing head to head in the final rounds adds the thrill. However, since the beginning of the  2025 schedule, it has been a worry to even see the top three in the world ranking competing together. First, Scottie Scheffler had an accident during Christmas, which resulted in surgery and delayed participation. Later, Xander Schauffele, who was part of the first two events, withdrew due to injury concerns in his rib. In more, the world no. 3, Rory McIlroy has already cut down his participation at the event. Well, all this affected the tour largely as the viewership was seen dipping.

Despite all that, now with the Genesis Invitational, the feat that every fan wanted to observe is here. Sharing the update, Justin Ray posted on X. It read, “This is the first time that Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have both been in the top-4 entering the 3rd round of a PGA Tour event.” 

Scheffler who was struggling to find his form, seems to get back with his steady upward climb after the first round. Notably, McIlroy has already set the tone with his first appearance at AT&T Pebble Beach with a victory.

Now with the great sight for the fans, the celebration can be seen in the comments section of the post.

One fan wrote, “Ratings 📈 This is what I was talking about two days ago.”

Another joined in, commenting, “About to have a weekend.”
