Four of the most recognisable players in the world are set for ‘The Showdown’ – billed by some as a grudge match between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf factions which form each side of golf’s so-called civil war.<\/b><\/p>\n

Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, who have both remained loyal to the established PGA Tour, take on LIV pair Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka in an 18-hole Ryder Cup-style event under floodlights in Las Vegas on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“This isn’t just a contest between some of golf’s major champions, it’s an event designed to energise the fans,” said McIlroy.<\/p>\n

American duo DeChambeau and Koepka were among the early flurry of marquee names lured to the breakaway Saudi-backed tour by multi-million dollar deals.<\/p>\n

With opportunities for all players to compete in the same field restricted by the PGA Tour banning LIV defectors, The Showdown offers a rare chance to bring together four players with a combined tally of 13 majors.<\/p>\n

“We want to beat them, we want to showcase the world we’re the top two dogs,” Koepka said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
