"I'm thrilled to partner with Scottie in what promises to be an exciting duel against Bryson and Brooks in Vegas this December," McIlroy told Golfweek. "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 here to put on a great show and contribute to a goodwill event that brings the best together again."
Blake Smith, who represents Scheffler and Koepka, confirmed those players' participation to ESPN. "Brooks and Scottie are very excited to be a part of this unique event and look forward to sharing more soon," Smith said.
The PGA Tour and LIV Golf have spent the past three years competing for the best golfers in the world. The PGA Tour continues to negotiate with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, which finances LIV Golf, about a potential investment, which might bring the fractured sport together again.
In the last match on Feb. 26, McIlroy and Max Homa competed with LPGA stars Lexi Thompson and Rose Zhang. The PGA Tour and LIV Golf are expected to be separate entities in 2025.
