Rory McIlroy admits if Wyndham Clark should now win Player of the Year ahead of Scottie Scheffler
Rory McIlroy is always an open book when it comes to answering questions about his fellow players. That was no different on Saturday when McIlroy fielded questions about Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark battling it out for the PGA Tour Player of the Year award.
Rory McIlroy revealed on Saturday that Scottie Scheffler remains the frontrunner for PGA Tour Player of the Year, despite Wyndham Clark's strong performance this year. Both Americans have been the standout performers on the PGA Tour, with Clark having two wins including the US Open, and Scheffler recording two wins and 12 top-5 finishes.
McIlroy believes Scheffler has been the best player this year, citing his statistical profile which includes leading in strokes gained, scoring average, and other categories. However, McIlroy acknowledged that Clark's recent form could lead to a heated discussion about the award if he wins the BMW Championship this Sunday. If Scheffler doesn't win the Tour Championship next week, it could make Clark a strong contender for the title.
