Rory McIlroy's winning partner at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament is Jeff Rhodes, co-manager of TPG Capital. Rhodes and McIlroy teed off at this week's signature PGA Tour event and emerged victorious following the 36 holes.

Rhodes has been working with TPG Capitol since 2005 and joined as their board member last December. He is the co-manager of TPG Capital and TPG Healthcare Partners. Rhodes did his graduation from Williams College in economics and later studied at Harvard Business School, where he did his MBA.

A quick recap of Rory McIlroy's performance at the 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach

Rory McIlroy did not have an expected start in the 2024 PGA Tour season. AT&T Pebble Beach is his first PGA Tour event of the year but he struggled with his game in the last two rounds.

Mcllroy got off to a smooth start on the first day but a two-stroke penalty on the par-5 seventh hole made him close the day at 71. He made six birdies in the first round but in the last few holes, he struggled and made three back-to-back bogeys, including a triple bogey on the seventh hole.

On the second day of the tournament, Mcllroy struggled with his game and started with a bogey on the first hole. The Northern Irishman made a double bogey on the fourth but quickly got back in the game with a birdie on the sixth and seventh holes. But McIlroy carded another bogey on the eighth and then on the 12th hole. He finished the second round with a much-needed birdie on the 16th hole and scored a 2-over par 74.

Although he won the Pro-Am tournament, McIlroy settled in a tie for the 69th position on the leaderboard of professionals at the end of Friday's round.

He started with the third round, and at the time of writing, played on the seven holes and added a birdie and a bogey.

The 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach is scheduled to have its finale on Sunday, February 4 and only the top 60 golfers on the leaderboard would qualify for the final round.
