Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are arguably two of the greatest golfers to have ever played the sport. Both rose to prominence at a very young age, claiming 10 PGA Tour wins and four major victories by the age of 25!
Owing to their unparalleled achievements on the fairways, the two players have often been pitted against each other. A recent social media post has once again brought to light the differences between the two icons, inciting diverse reactions from fans.
