Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler take on Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau in Las Vegas
Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau compete in a unique clash on Tuesday, with bragging rights up for grabs.
The Showdown is a symbol of the rapidly changing world of men's professional golf, with tensions cooling between the rival tours amid talks over a peace deal. An event of this kind seemed a remote possibility when the breakaway LIV league was formed two years ago, creating huge divisions in the sport.
What have the players said? McIlroy says the event is an example of players taking matters into their own hands amid the protracted negotiations over a peace deal between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf's backer, the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund.
