The Showdown: How to watch, date, course & format of Rory McIlroy & Scottie Scheffler v Brooks Koepka and Bryson Dechambeau

Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler will team up to take on Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau in an 18-hole golf exhibition billed 'The Showdown'.

McIlroy remains the biggest name in golf while Scheffler is undoubtedly the best performer in golf. Ranked number one in the world, Scheffler added another Masters title and PLAYERS Championship to his resume in 2024, as well as winning five more PGA TOUR events.

Koepka and DeChambeau, despite their defections to LIV Golf, remain two of the most high-profile players in the sport. Koepka is a five-time major champion, while DeChambeau has two US Open wins to his name and is becoming increasingly prominent on social media thanks to his YouTube channel.

The duo had a well publicised rivalry a few years ago, but have since buried the hatchet and will take on PGA TOUR stars McIlroy and Scheffler.
