In a highly anticipated exhibition match, PGA Tour stars Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler defeated LIV Golf's Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau.
LIV Golf and PGA Tour stars competed in a made-for-TV exhibition Tuesday night, offering fans their first glimpse of these rivals playing together outside of major championships. The event, held under the lights at Shadow Creek, saw the PGA Tour emerge victorious. The format consisted of one point awarded for each six-hole fourballs match, one point for each six-hole foursomes match, and one point each for singles over the final six holes.
Rory McIlroy showcased his prowess with a stunning 40-foot eagle putt, propelling the PGA Tour team to an early lead. Despite a valiant effort from LIV Golf's DeChambeau, the PGA Tour secured victory in four holes. The foursomes match remained close until DeChambeau narrowly missed a long birdie putt, leading to a three-putt bogey by Koepka, ultimately handing the point to the PGA Tour. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy each claimed a $5 million cryptocurrency prize, adding to Scheffler's already impressive year with earnings exceeding $62 million. The singles matches saw Scheffler and McIlroy dominate, concluding the contest on the 16th hole. While the exhibition served as a showcase for the top talent in golf, it ultimately reinforced the dominance of the established PGA Tour players
