The world's top three go head-to-head this week at the WGC-Cadillac Championship, with Jordan Spieth, Jason Day and Rory McIlroy all in the field at Doral.
McIlroy features on the PGA Tour for the third week running as he looks to bounce back from his early exit at the Honda Classic, while Spieth and Day both return to action having sat out of the Florida Swing opener.
How have the trio previously fared when playing in the same event? We look back to the tournaments in 2015 where golf's 'big three' were all involved...
September 2015 - Tour Championship
All three players came in to the PGA Tour's season finale with a chance of FedEx Cup victory, but it was Spieth who took the title with a convincing four-stroke win at East Lake.
McIlroy had made a strong start to the week but faltered over the weekend to finish 10 shots off the pace, while a final-round 68 from Day saw the Australian claim a ninth consecutive top-12 finish.
But Spieth once again stole the show and claimed the £7.5million jackpot with a fifth win of the year, seeing him return back to world No 1.
September 2015 - BMW Championship
Day threatened to post a magical '59' in Chicago on his way to a wire-to-wire victory and his fourth win in six starts, lifting the Australian above McIlroy to top of the world rankings for the first time.
A par at the last saw Day open with a 10-under 61 and open a four-stroke advantage over playing partner Spieth, before he extended his lead to five with another birdie-filled 63.
Spieth, who had posted an opening-round ace, stuttered over the final rounds to end in 13th spot, as successive 69s from Day saw him cruise home with a six-shot win ahead of Daniel Berger.
September 2015 - Deutsche Bank Championship
A strong end to the week secured McIlroy's return to world No 1, despite needing a final-hole birdie just to avoid missing the cut.
Four dropped shots in a five-hole stretch during his second round saw McIlroy scrape through to the weekend, where a closing 66 parachuted him in to a tie for 29th.
A first over par round in 22 for Day on Saturday ended his hopes as Rickie Fowler took the title, while Spieth's dip in form continue as the two-time major champion suffered a second missed cut in as many weeks.
August 2015 - PGA Championship
Day held off Spieth in a final-round shoot-out at Whistling Straits to seal a three-shot triumph and a maiden major title, while a runner-up finish for the American takes him top of the world.
Although a back-nine 30 from Spieth on Saturday had bolstered hopes of a third major win of the year, he had to settle for solo second as Day set a new major record for his winning score of 20 under.
McIlroy struggled to make an impression when grouped with Spieth, but completed his return from injury inside the top-10 thanks to a final-round 68.
June 2015 - US Open
A three-putt par at the last from Dustin Johnson allowed Spieth to emerge from Chambers Bay with a narrow one-shot win and back-to-back major titles.
After playing alongside Spieth for the first two rounds, Day recovered from collapsing through vertigo late on Friday to shoot 68 the following day and stay in contention.
Day would finish the week inside the top-10 despite closing his week with a 74 as McIlroy, who struggled with his putting through the opening three rounds, joined him in a tie for ninth.
May 2015 - Players Championship
Comparisons to McIlroy were short-lived when Spieth missed the cut at TPC Sawgrass, with the American suggesting there was a long way to go before he could be talked about alongside the world No 1.
The pair had been joined by Day for the opening two rounds, with the Australian also crashing out early following a second-round 81.
McIlroy couldn't find form on the greens throughout the week, eventually closing in a tie for eighth and four strokes adrift of champion Rickie Fowler.
April 2015 - The Masters
Spieth was likened to Tiger Woods after a record-breaking victory made him the first wire-to-wire of the Green Jacket in nearly four decades.
The 21-year-old posted more birdies than any other player in Augusta history on his way to a four-shot win, as McIlroy finished six strokes off the pace despite a round-of-the-day 66 on the Sunday.
Day had started strongly with an opening-round 67, but finished some 17 shots back in tied-28th after a frustrating week.
March 2015 - WGC-Cadillac Championship
Dustin Johnson picked up a first win since returning from his leave of absence on the PGA Tour, while none of the aforementioned three made any kind of challenge at the top of the leaderboard.
McIlroy followed Spieth and Day in posting over par opening rounds at Doral, but bounced back with a two-under 70 to head in to the weekend eight off the pace.
Back-to-back 72s left the four-time major winner tied-ninth, with Spieth a further two strokes back in tied-17th and Day 12 strokes adrift of Johnson in joint-31st.
