Golf fans will be treated to the rare sight of the game's when the top three players in the world are grouped together at the WGC-Cadillac Championship in Miami.

World number-one Jordan Spieth, second-ranked Australian Jason Day and third-ranked Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy will play together in the first two rounds of the elite World Golf Championships event.

It will be only the second time that Spieth, Day and McIlroy have been grouped together on the PGA Tour, and McIlroy was looking forward to the prospect as he prepared for the opening round.
