These 2 alongside Adam Scott (who won the Masters). Am I being overly cynical here? Or does anybody else think its just a coincidence.... Wonder what group most will follow?!?!?

I don't think the organisers claim that it is a random draw. At least if you want to follow another group it will be a lot quieter.
TV coverage will be even more one dimensional than usual!

of course it's not a coincidence - they always put out the world No1, 2 and 3 together

It's done for TV, I don't think anyone is pretending it is a coincidence.

I believe the US Open always put the world 1, 2 & 3 together for the first two rounds...

Its not random they pair them up for entertainment value.

I'm not sure if we've established if it's a coincidence or not. Is it?

It's not a co-incidence when they have a history of doing it...

If they wanted maximum entertainment value, they should have paired Woods with Garcia

It would be unfair to Garcia to watch him implode again!
...anyway they put with Padraig, his nemesis in Majors.

Keep Sergio and woods well apart,I have had a £20 bet on sergio
No coincidence and to be honest I don't know if it's a good draw or not or McIlroy in is current form. Might provide him with all the inspiration he needs or he might struggle with Tiger mania and his flaky game
