'PGA Tour v LIV - why 'Showdown' with McIlroy & Scheffler v DeChambeau & Koepka is significant'

Summary

65% Informative

Rory McIlroy partners Scottie Scheffler against Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka in Las Vegas .

The four stars will play in the first time since The Open in high summer that this quartet of superstars have all been able to play in same event.

It is the vehicle to demonstrate that some of the biggest names have had enough of an increasingly tedious and debilitating divide.

It is a concept that could excite fans and maybe replace the moribund Presidents Cup put on in non-Ryder years by the PGA Tour , which is contested by teams representing the US and non-European internationals and is not open to LIV golfers. Such developments in pro golf do not tend to happen in a hurry, though. Nevertheless, the fact that this week 's contest is occurring at all is a start. And through its relative competitive validity it is, maybe, a significant step towards some kind of reconciliation..
