After dividing and evolving the game of golf as we know it, the PGA and LIV Tours made a blockbuster announcement on September 4. Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy from the PGA Tour will play in a match against Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau from LIV Golf. Both duos represent the world’s best and most popular golfers and will be a contest for the ages. The matchup is set for mid-December and will be played in Las Vegas, Nevada.
PGA vs LIV
In the past, former PGA players who jumped ship to the LIV Tour were banned from playing in PGA events. That said, golf fans only see stars from both tours collide four times a year during the major championships. Though this contest may be one of a kind, and not lead to anything else, it could foreshadow a possible conjunction between the two tours.
After losing some of its biggest stars to LIV, the PGA remains the most popular tour among golf fans. While LIV offers a more entertaining and party-like atmosphere, nothing can top the legendary and respected aura that surrounds the PGA. While fans have ached at the chance to see all of the best players face off more than four times a year, this very well could result in the sport of golf transforming yet again.
Final Thoughts
Scheffler and McIlroy will be representing the PGA and the rest of its talented and popular players in hopes of reigning supreme over LIV. Though viewership and fan interaction are in favor of the PGA, a victory for LIV could result in tides changing. Koepka and DeChambeau will look to win the match, and better make names for themselves and their new tour.
Though there is no telling how much of an effect this unique contest will have on the sporting world, it will be some of the most exciting golf action of the year, and the only action featuring both tours until the 2025 Master’s Tournament. All four players have the personalities and skillsets to make this matchup blow up and expand golf as we know it, the question is, which side will come out on top?
