On October 29th, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will play a head-to-head match in China. Nothing will be accomplished or settled, but a lot of Chinese 'bout to get paid.

Will it be on TV? Up against Monday Night Football so I doubt many will be watching.

I agree with you on the majors thing, as I feel he has a lot more left to prove, but Tiger suuuuucccckkkkkssss in match-play.

His amateur record would slightly disagree with the both of you.

Tiger is not the same guy he was almost 20 years ago Hawger..... Yes a good record as
an amateur but not that impressive as a pro. His Ryder Cup and WGC records aren't that
impressive.

tiger has done pretty well in his last couple ryder cups.

Wake me up when you get a green jacket for that.

his presidents cup and ryder cup singles records are pretty impressive i believe.

I couldn't really find any updated numbers that I felt comfortable posting. You may be right. Match play is
tough for most players.

I found something but it can't be all of the singles matches and he was 5-1-2.

The numbers I found were as of 2010 and he was well under .500 but that was with teammates.

I stand corrected. The numbers I found were not even close to that so glad I didn't post them.
Just shows how tough that format can be even for the best players in the world.

Rory McIlroy outdueled Tiger Woods in the first one-on-one exhibition match between golf's two biggest names.


McIlroy shot a 5-under 67 to beat Woods by one stroke in an 18-hole match between the two top-ranked golfers at the Jinsha Lake Golf Club in central China on Monday.

Shot a 68 tho not like he got smoked.
