In a strange turn of events golfer Rory McIlroy caught a stray as he was called out in a US presidential election debate!
against two of LIV Golf's most high-profile stars - Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau - at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas.McIlroy and Scheffler will team up against DeChambeau and Koepka in a rare meeting of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, the event has been touted as a grudge match between the two sides, as well as a possible thawing of relations as golf looks to reunite itself.
It certainly does not appear as though the PGA Tour was involved in the organisation of 'The Showdown' - which raises questions over whether McIlroy and Scheffler risk sanctions. But with the match scheduled for December 17, during the festive period, there is no conflicting PGA Tour event for the players to be released from.
He recently played alongside Yasir Al-Rumayyan - governor of the Saudi Public Investment Fund , who bankroll LIV Golf - at the Dunhill Links.McIlroy's new priority is bringing the game's best players back together - and he makes no secret of his frustration at the slowness of negotiations between the PGA Tour and the PIF.
