Rory McIlroy vs Tommy Fleetwood | Hit The Number Challenge

It’s Rory vs Tommy, as they take on the new 'Hit the Number' Challenge at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
Ten head-to-head rounds where the two players are given a yardage and whoever hits their shot closest to that number wins the point. Each player has two boosters they can choose to play: either to select a preferred yardage or double the points for a chosen round, so it’s not just a game of skill but also strategy. Most points overall after the ten rounds, wins!

That was such a great challenge! Nice work Rory & Tommy 🙌

The last yardage was a real SOFT move from Rors, though, should've gone for something more competitive.

[@jphamm93]

Rory did him dirty at the end there

All's fair in love and war.

Rory should have just nominated 1000 yards and made it a long drive .... essentially same thing

[@milaandahiya]

Rory's distance guesses were insane

[@bagpussmacfarlan9008]

To be fair it's what he does all day long!

[@CB-rv2lj]

hit the range more than 1 time a month and its pretty easy to know your own yardages.

[@fingersTitan]

@@Paulhanratty885 Rory IS a top class guy. Check out his own school in Ireland he runs and attends for kids of any background (Catholic or Protestant) It's the non stop media that push him down our throats all the time. A few yrs back shhoting +6 and missing cuts.. We still had to have every shot of his as comms still bumming him up.. I doubt he wanted every shank being shown.. Now it.. Lets ignore the current 74 players out on course (very disrespectful) and show Rory turning up to the course... Again when he's warming up andthen when he's out. Lets show all his shots 15 times in slow-mo. Its not him asking for it. It's the media and the brown nose commentators who are at fault.

Enjoyed this video, as always. The ET videos are so entertaining and great to see players of this calibre taking part. Rory knew he had it in the bag at 315. Driving wise, there are very few better in the game!

[@ryanhorner1675]

Not ideal playing this game into a massive wind lol But Rory & Tommy together are class!

[@Garlicator]

There's a warmth between some of the European players that can't be faked. Even when pound-for-pound we aren't as strong a Ryder Cup team as the Americans, that camaraderie and team spirit can make up some of the difference between the teams. Particularly in the foursome, also to an extent in the four-balls.

[@davidgraham8058]

it really shows how much the wind affects it when you float it up there!

[@worldtraveler84]

The feel professional golfers have for their yardages is amazing.

Nominate a yardage the opponent cannot reach, hmmm. Tactics 😂

[@CarlitosGolf]

Crazy how accurate they guess their carry distances!

[@timthecoolmanful]

Fleetwood-Mc, New Ryder cup duo.😊

[@mjkl86]

beginner here - why would rory choose an iron over a wood/hybrid for 220? Is it for more spin control at the precise distance?

Shows you how much the wind effects carry 😂

way more exciting on a windy day tbh

Hello, it would be better, if you add the differences of the deviation together for a final deviation amount. So the players have a change til the end to win.

Totally agree. Insanely good eye from rory

[@spectre205]

Rory may as well have said 500 yards on the last.

Bit low to make a yardage Tommy obviously won’t be able to beat Rory on for the last one to win the match

The way Rory grunts when he hits driver man he is swinging hard 😂

[@Dreyno]

One of the smallest guys on tour who’s also one of the longest hitters. You don’t do that by holding anything back.

[@tonyfortune346]

@David Reynolds He definitely one of the shorter guys on tour but Rory is jacked. He's built like a running back

[@Dreyno]

@@tonyfortune346 It’s something he’s worked hard on. When he started out he was a kid but he realised he was losing to golfers he was far better than just because they could hit it further. Now he’s taken that advantage away from the bombers. Hopefully he puts a few good rounds together at the Masters because he’s overdue a major with the talent he has.

[@tonyfortune346]

@David Reynolds I would love to see Rory win the Master's this year. He's my favorite golfer behind Tiger. Rory is just such a good dude how could you not root for the guy. I remember he said early in his career sometimes he didn't enjoy winning as much because he would feel bad for whoever he was playing that lost to him. He's a remarkable human being and one of the best golfers to ever play the game.

[@Dreyno]

@@tonyfortune346 He has an army of haters though. The internet has done strange things to people. Most famous people now have as many people who revile them for no reason as love them. Bizarre.

[@gustavagren2976]

[@John_Wood_]

Look at the difference in how they played their first wedge shots. This is why Rors is not mixing it with the big dogs during the majors.

[@thejoker7323]

But Tommy nailed the number…so your logic is flawed.
