PGA Tour stars Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler have agreed to face LIV Golf's Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka in a made-for-TV match in Las Vegas in mid-December.
Fans won't have to wait until the Masters in April to watch golfers from the PGA Tour and LIV Golf League compete in the same event.
"I'm thrilled to partner with Scottie in what promises to be an exciting duel against Bryson and Brooks in Vegas this December," McIlroy told Golfweek."This isn't just a contest between some of golf's major champions; it's an event designed to energize the fans. We're all here to put on a great show and contribute to a goodwill event that brings the best together again.
The PGA Tour and LIV Golf League have spent the past three years competing for the best golfers in the world. The PGA Tour continues to negotiate with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which finances LIV Golf, about a potential investment, which might bring the fractured sport together again. The PGA Tour and LIV Golf are expected to be separate entities in 2025. PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan has prohibited LIV Golf League players, many of whom are former PGA Tour members, from competing in his circuit's events.
