AND GOT TO SEE HIS DAD PLAY EXCEPTIONAL GOLF THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF HIS SUMMER. SPEAKING OF WORLD NUMBER ONE, PER A REPORT FROM OUR COLLEAGUE EAMON LYNCH, SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER AND RORY McILROY ARE SET TO TEAM UP IN A MADE-FOR-TV MATCH AGAINST BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU AND BROOKS KOEPKA THIS DECEMBER IN LAS VEGAS. PER LYNCH, THE COMPETITION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY EACH OF THE PLAYERS' AGENTS. IN A QUOTE TO "GOLFWEEK" RORY McILROY SAID THE FOLLOWING, QUOTING THIS ISN'T JUST A CONTEST BETWEEN SOME OF GOLF'S MAJOR CHAMPIONS. IT'S AN EVENT DESIGNED TO ENERGIZE THE FANS. WE'RE ALL HEAR TO PUT ON GREAT SHOW AND CONTRIBUTE TO A GOODWILL EVENT THAT BRINGS THE BEST TOGETHER AGAIN. CLOSED QUOTE. GOLF CHANNEL SENIOR WRITER REX HOGGARD JOINS US NOW WITH MORE ON THIS REPORT. INTERESTING QUOTE THERE FROM RORY, REX. SO HOW WOULD YOU DEFINE WHAT EXACTLY IS THIS EVENT AND WHY DO YOU THINK IT'S TAKING PLACE? >> WELL, MATT, IT'S UNCLEAR IF THIS IS GOING TO BE PART OF THAT OFFICIAL MATCH SERIES. THOSE STARTED WAY BACK IN 2018 WITH THAT MATCH BETWEEN TIGER WOODS AND PHIL MICKELSON. THAT ALSO WAS IN LAS VEGAS. BUT THIS MATCH WILL HAVE MANY OF THE SAME PRODUCERS AND MARKETERS WE'VE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE HISTORY OF THOSE MATCHES AND SEEMS TO BE FOLLOWING THE SAME FORMAT, IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT EAMON REPORTED TODAY. COUPLE HIGH-PROFILE PLAYERS PLAYING IN PRIME TIME ON THE EAST COAST DURING A TIME OF YEAR WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE GOLF AND TRYING TO EASE IN BETWEEN FOOTBALL GAMES SO TO SPEAK AND THERE IS ONE DISTINCTION THAT NEEDS TO BE POINTED OUT THERE IS NO PRIZE MONEY. EACH OF THE PLAYERS IS GETTING AN APPEARANCE FEE. I THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT, THOUGH, BECAUSE OF WHAT'S GOING TO BE ON THE POSTER. WHEN YOU MARKET THIS IT'S PGA TOUR VERSUS LIV GOLF. >> AND I GUESS THIS IS A BIT OF A CELEBRATION, THE OBVIOUS TO ASK YOU THIS, WHY DO YOU THINK THESE FOUR PLAYERS IN PARTICULAR, AT LEAST GIVEN SOME OF THE HISTORY BETWEEN THESE PLAYERS, WERE CHOSEN? >> MATT, NOTHING RANDOM ABOUT THESE FOUR PLAYERS. YOU CAN BREAK DOWN ALL FOUR AND KNOW WHY THEY'RE IN THESE MATCHES. START WITH RORY McILROY, HE HAS BECOME THE MOST OUTSPOKEN PROPONENT OF A DEAL BETWEEN THE PGA TOUR AND SAUDI ARABIA'S INVESTMENT FUND, ANYTHING TO BRING GOLF BACK TOGETHER AND REUNITE THE GAME. HE TALKED ABOUT IT LAST WEEK AT EAST LAKE. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR HIM. SCOTTIE HAS NOT BEEN AS OUTSPOKEN, BUT HE'S THE WORLD NUMBER ONE BY A LONG SHOT COMING OFF THAT FEDEXCUP VICTORY, GIVES HIM AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHINE IN AN ATMOSPHERE WHERE HE'S NEVER BEEN IN BEFORE. BROOKS KOEPKA, VERY OUTSPOKEN PROPONENT OF WHAT LIV GOLF IS TRYING TO DO AND BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU, JUST GO BACK TO JUNE, WHEN HE WON THE U.S. OPEN AFTER PINEHURST, HE WAS ARGUABLY THE MOST POPULAR PLAYER ON THE PLANET AND TO BRING HIM INTO THE MIX ON THIS I READ RORY'S COMMENTS TO EAMON TRYING TO GROW THE GAME. I THINK THAT'S GOING TO GET A LOT OF EYEBALLS. >> TO THAT POINT, SHOULD WE READ ANYTHING MORE INTO ALL OF THIS? WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT THIS REPRESENTS FROM, YOU KNOW, THE BROAD VIEW? >> GO BACK TO LAST WEEK WHEN THE COMMISSION SPOKE WITH THE MEDIA AT EAST LAKE AND USED WORDS LIKE THEY'RE MAKING PROGRESS AND NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE PUBLIC INVESTMENT FUND BUT THERE WAS CLEAR THEY'RE NOT CLOSE TO A DEA DEAL. IT'S BEEN 15 MONTHS. IF NOT STALLED AT THE VERY LEAST THOSE NEGOTIATIONS HAVE BECOME MIRED IN KIND OF LEGAL DETAILS EVERYBODY EXPECTED WOULD BE THE DIFFICULT PART OF THIS PROCESS. NOW LOOK AT WHAT THIS MEANS. AT LEAST TACITLY THE PGA TOUR WOULD HAVE TO GRANT RORY AND SCOTTIE THEIR MEDIA RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS. THAT MEANS
