Few other American courses have the kind of history found at Merion. They have red wicker baskets, the symbol of golf club, though its origins remain a mystery. Equally mysterious to Woods, McIlroy and the rest of the stars at the 113th U.S. Open is Merion itself. (AP Photo/Jay LaPrete)

The world’s two top golfers are meeting more and more often on the course, but neither No. 1-ranked Rory McIlroy or Tiger Woods are ready to call it a rivalry. The pair, set to meet at the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship, starting from Jan. 17, 2013, have established a blossoming relationship since playing together for the first three rounds of last year’s tournament and have expressed a mutual respect for one another’s game.
