PGA Tour stars Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler defeated LIV Golf players Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka in a highly anticipated exhibition match in Las Vegas. The one-sided contest, dubbed 'The Showdown,' offered a glimpse of the rivalry between the two factions in golf.
PGA Tour superstars Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler showed their superiority against LIV Golf pair Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka in a floodlit exhibition billed by some as a grudge match between the rival factions.
Northern Ireland's McIlroy, 35, and American world number one Scheffler, 28, never trailed in an 18-hole matchplay contest which mirrored the format of the Ryder Cup."Scottie and I got off to a pretty good start and then from there it was just about trying to keep the momentum."Opportunities for the high-profile quartet to compete in the same field have been restricted by the PGA Tour banning LIV defectors.
Head-to-head singles - McIlroy taking on DeChambeau and Scheffler facing Koepka - were played over the final six holes. McIlroy blew a two-shot lead with five holes to play at Pinehurst, missing a golden chance to end his 10-year major drought and presenting the title to DeChambeau instead.
