Those intentions seem innocent enough, but for over three months, the PGA Tour has completely ignored The Showdown’s existence. Earlier this week, McIlroy admitted that it took multiple calls with the PGA Tour brass to convince them The Showdown was actually a good thing.

The Showdown between the LIV Golf and PGA Tour pairs will 18 holes, which are broken down into three different stages. The first six holes will be played as four-balls. In this style of play, each golfer uses their own ball to play the hole. However, only the teammate with the lower score counts. Whichever team has the lower score wins the round.

The PGA Tour and LIV Golf are finally coming together -- at least for one night in Las Vegas. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and No. 3 Rory McIlroy will join forces against No. 10 Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka for an 18-hole match dubbed The Showdown set to take place at Shadow Creek Golf Club in Sin City.
