PGA Tour stars Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy reportedly will battle Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka of LIV Golf in a made-for-TV match in Las Vegas.
Blake Smith of Hambric Sports, who manages Scheffler and Koepka for Hambric Sports, confirmed their appearance and said both were “excited to be part of this unique event.”The foursome combined for 13 majors over the last decade. More compelling is that the match brings together players from the — the financial provider of LIV — as a minority investor. There is no indication a deal is close, and it would remain subject to U.S. Department of Justice review.
Golfweek said the match would be televised by TNT, which previously broadcast nine editions of “The Match.” That was a series of matches that began with Tiger Woods against Phil Mickelson.“We’re all here to put on a great show and contribute to a goodwill event that brings the best together again,” McIlroy said.
Once the strongest critic of LIV, McIlroy has been lobbying to bring both sides together. He is on a committee negotiating with PIF. “I get the argument that these guys left and that was their choice and whatever,” McIlroy said, referring to DeChambeau, Koepka and others defecting to take guaranteed riches from a Saudi-backed rival league. “I just think that it’s gone on long enough. I think everyone is trying to find a solution. It’s just a solution is hard to get to.”
