Josh Carpenter shared all the details about this event, noting that the tour is planning a TV event for December at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida.

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are currently the only two players confirmed for the event, and they will captain two separate teams that will compete against each other.

Each team is said to have four golfers, but no LIV Golf player is expected to be featured. According to reports, the event will be aired on numerous Versant networks (Comcast spinoffs). Interestingly, the event is scheduled to be produced by the same group that was involved in "The Showdown" last year.

The event began with the first six holes played as a better ball, in which competitors played solo, and the lowest score was deemed the team score. Scheffler and McIlroy clinched the point in this format and took the lead by 1-0.

The next six holes were played with each player taking alternate shots. McIlroy made a winning putt on the 12th hole to bring the PGA Tour to 2-0.

The last six holes featured head-to-head singles between Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau, as well as Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka. Scheffler sealed his victory with a birdie putt on the 16th hole. For this amazing win, Scheffler and McIlroy received the winnings, worth $10 million in cryptocurrency at that time.
