The PGA Tour has unveiled two highly anticipated “super groups,” headlined by top golfers Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Justin Thomas, Ludvig Åberg, and Hideki Matsuyama. However, the absence of Tiger Woods from the featured groups has sparked mixed reactions among fans.
While many golf enthusiasts expressed excitement about the star-studded pairings, some questioned Justin Thomas’s inclusion in a super group. Others lamented the lack of Tiger Woods, whose presence historically draws significant attention.
