In 10 days, the challenge on the course between LIV Golf and PGA Tour will take place.
As announced just over two months ago, Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler will challenge Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau in an exhibition match that would appear to be part of the fateful (?) agreement between PIF and PGA Tour.
Liv, duel
The “duel” will take place over the distance of 18 match play holes, during which three game formulas will alternate: the first six holes will be played with four-ball, from 7 to 12 with a foursome formula, while the final six holes will be played in singles.
But the innovation does not stop there.
When the event was announced, no prize was planned for the four protagonists.
But, as is now evident, in modern professional golf the topic of prizes/compensation/fees occupies a central position, and so this event, indirect heir of the series “The Match”, will also provide a purse for the winners.
The truly innovative element in all of this is represented by the fact that the prize will be paid in CRO Cronos, a native token of Crypto.com, a Singaporean company leader in the cryptocurrency market, as well as the title sponsor of the event.
At this point, only one element is missing, and that is where the duel will take place.
The choice made by the organizers is of an adequate level for the event.
The course of the Shadow Creek Golf Club in Las Vegas, in addition to being among the most expensive in the United States (the green fee has reached $ 1,250, Editor’s note), hosted the inaugural edition of “The Match” in 2018, which saw Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods face off.
The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they are played outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respecting the rules is a basic element in the game of golf, which, almost always based on self-control and the free conscience of the players, often sees distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to the non-observance by many players of the rules of the game. In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing the game with due respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
