Jack Nicklaus, widely regarded as one of finest golfers of all time with 18 major wins under his belt, has weighed in on the Scottie Scheffler vs Rory McIlroy debate
With just over a fortnight to go before the US Open tees off, golf’s biggest names are fine-tuning their form ahead of the third major of the 2025 season. Scottie Scheffler claimed victory at the PGA Championship earlier this month and followed it up with a share of fourth place at the Charles Schwab Challenge on Sunday.
The American finished level with England’s Tommy Fleetwood, with both players pocketing around £335,000 each. Although Rory McIlroy opted not to take part in the Texas-based event, he still found himself in the headlines – this time thanks to legendary figure Jack Nicklaus.
Here, Mirror Sport has rounded up the main talking points from the golfing world, including Nicklaus’ comments on McIlroy’s game, Fleetwood’s ongoing battle with an unwanted milestone, and Sky Sports commentator Wayne Riley’s blunt criticism of Matthias Schmid’s pace of play.
Commentator loses patience
Sky Sports pundit Wayne Riley didn’t hold back in expressing his irritation over Matthias Schmid’s slow play during the Charles Schwab Challenge. Despite putting in an excellent performance to finish runner-up behind Benjamin Griffin and taking home over £800,000, the German’s measured approach clearly grated on the Australian broadcaster.
Riley, who was following Schmid during the penultimate round, became visibly exasperated as the 27-year-old took what seemed like an age over a particular shot. At one point, Riley was left standing for more than two minutes, waiting for the player to commit.

Wayne Riley made it clear he was not a fan of Matti Schmid’s slow pace
On the European-based DP World Tour, he’s picked up seven titles, yet a breakthrough on American soil continues to elude him. With form on his side, however, he’ll be hoping to end the drought before long.
Golfing icon Jack Nicklaus has weighed in on the growing rivalry between Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy – revealing he sees more of himself in the American. While Nicklaus praised McIlroy for his achievements and congratulated him personally on his recent Masters win, he also highlighted a recurring flaw in the Northern Irishman’s game.
