However, with the news of some sort of ‘merger agreement’ in June 2023, there was hope of players such as Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson returning to the PGA Tour – however this has not materialised as of August 2024.
However, an announcement was made that Rory McIlroy will team up with the newly-crowned FedEx Cup champion and Masters champion Scottie Scheffler against Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka in a televised match in December of this year.
In a statement to Golfweek, Rory McIlroy said: “I’m thrilled to partner with Scottie in what promises to be an exciting duel against Bryson and Brooks in Vegas this December.
“This isn’t just a contest between some of golf’s major champions, it’s an event designed to energise 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 Match will be broadcast on TNT in America, which previously hosted nine previous editions, the series of exhibitions which began with Tiger Woods taking on Phil Mickelson in 2018.
