The 34th edition of the QBE Shootout will kick-start on December 7, 2022. The five-day event will be held at the Tiburón Golf Club at The Ritz-Carlton Resort, Naples, and will conclude on December 11.

The 2022 QBE Shootout stands out with its field. For the first time, the event will have two LPGA stars teeing up on the field along with other PGA Tour stars. The 12 two-player teams, which include stars like Max Homa, Nelly Korda, Lexi Thompson, and Jason Day, will be competing for the top prize this week.

However, it is pertinent to note that Greg Norman, who is among the founding members of the event, won’t be involved due to his move to become the CEO of LIV Golf. With the changed field, the prize purse has also seen a light hike. The event will have a total purse of $3.8 million, up from $3.6 million in 2021.
