PGA News: The Showdown is set: PGA-LIV exhibition on Dec. 17

Four superstars from the PGA Tour and LIV Golf will tee off Dec. 17 in Las Vegas in what has been dubbed The Showdown.

The exhibition match will pit World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and No. 3 Rory McIlroy on the PGA side against LIV golfers Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. All four are multiple major winners, but the LIV golfers have limited opportunities to gain rankings points.

The made-for-TV event had been previously announced, but Front Office Sports on Wednesday confirmed the date and the location — Shadow Creek Golf Course. That course hosted the first version of The Match — the predecessor to The Showdown — between Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods and potentially could host as many as 5,000 fans for the December event.

The format has yet to be finalized, per the report.

It will be broadcast by TNT Sports, as previous versions have been, and will be an 18-hole event.

Some celebrity-driven versions of The Match were reduced to 12 holes.

“The Match turned into celebrity golf,” Hollywood producer Bryan Zuriff, who started The Match, told Front Office Sports. “And 12 holes is good for celebrity golf. This is 18 holes of real golf and could even potentially expand in the future.”

He said he also envisions expanding beyond four players down the road.

Front Office Sports said there is a six-year deal to continue The Showdown both in Las Vegas at Shadow Creek and at international locations, rotating annually. An event in the Middle East is under consideration for 2025.

Zuriff said he expects interest in The Showdown, given it’s the only time outside of major tournaments that the PGA and LIV golfers can go head-to-head.

“I don’t think we have to market or play that up,” Zuriff told the publication. “I think it speaks for itself.”
