We got a titanic Jason Day-Rory McIlroy matchup at the WGC-Dell Match Play, but a scheduled Rory-Rickie duel is no more.
The previously reported head-to-head exhibition match between McIlroy and Rickie Fowler that looked primed to take place at Detroit Golf Club on June 7, has been officially canceled.
Members of the layout learned on Friday that the proposed event between the World Nos. 3 and 5 fizzled out. Last month, the pair had been looking to finalize the prime-time matchup, but negotiations between Quicken Loans, the event's sponsor, and the participants didn't work out.
