The firs two rounds of the WGC-Cadillac Championship should be an interesting one, and one pairing just became the talk of the tournament. World No. 1 Rory McIlroy, No. 2 Tiger Woods and No. 3 Luke Donald will be paired together for the opening rounds at Doral this week, meaning if you were headed to this event in hopes of seeing one of these three, be prepared to fight an enormous mob that will be surrounding the top three players in the world.
All three have been No. 1 in the world at some point in their respective careers, and toss in the added McIlroy drama coming from his early exit at the Honda Classic and you have everything you’d want in a weekday pairing.
The rest of the groupings are after the jump, with a few more marquee match-ups but none coming close to the star power of this one.
