Could Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler become golf’s next great rivalry?

On this episode of 5 Clubs, Gary Williams examines the growing battle between the two biggest stars in golf after Rory McIlroy’s second straight Masters victory. Rory and Scottie have now combined to win four of the last five major championships, and with Scottie one major away from the career Grand Slam, Gary looks at whether this matchup could follow in the footsteps of Arnold Palmer vs. Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson.

The show also features two special guests fresh off their Masters debuts.

U.S. Amateur champion Mason Howell joins 5 Clubs to discuss what it was like to play Augusta National for the first time, including being paired with Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young. Mason shares the story of his nervous opening tee shot, what Rory said to calm him down, the incredible roar after Rory’s eagle on 17, and how he prepared for his first Masters while still balancing life as a high school senior.

PGA TOUR rookie Johnny Keefer also joins the show from Hilton Head after making his Masters debut. Johnny talks about the challenge of taking in Augusta National for the first time, the grind of life on Tour, what he learned from playing alongside veterans like Webb Simpson, Adam Scott, Jason Day, and Scottie Scheffler, and how his experience on the Korn Ferry Tour has helped prepare him for the PGA TOUR.
