CARMEL, Ind. – Rory McIlroy will tee it up in the same tournament as Tiger Woods today for the 43rd time as a professional in a PGA Tour or European Tour event.

Since turning pro late in 2007, McIlroy is 22-17-3 when measured against how Woods finished in those common events.

McIlroy has won four of those events, Woods has won three.

McIlroy is 13-5-2 finishing ahead of Woods in the same events the last two seasons.

The story’s different when comparing how they do when going head-to-head in the same pairing. In the six times they’ve played together as pros, Woods has posted the better score five times.
