On October 28, world number one Tiger Woods and world number two Rory Mcllroy will compete in a one-day 18-hole match play event against each other in China.

It will be the second time the Jupiter Island resident and Palm Beach Gardens resident will face off in this format in front of a national and international audience. While the two have played numerous times in the Jupiter area since both moved to South Florida, they have only gone head-to-head once in a match-play event.

In 2012, Woods and Mcllroy competed in a pay-per-view event at Jinsha Lake International Golf Club just outside of Beijing with Mcllroy shooting a 67 to win by one shot.

While the talk in China this week is all about the Duel at Jinsha Lake Part II, Woods and Mcllroy will be focusing on the golf season’s third major. Both golfers are in Scotland preparing for the British Open that starts on Thursday.
