Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka & Bryson DeChambeau will each make $4M in PGA vs LIV battle – Reports

Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau are set to earn significant payouts for their participation in a high-profile exhibition match scheduled for December 2024. The event, which will see these golf stars face off in a televised contest, is organized outside of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf frameworks, ensuring it remains a neutral ground for fans of both tours.

According to reports from Daniel Rapoport, each player will receive $4 million in appearance fees, comparable to earnings from Signature Events or LIV tournaments, with the payment guaranteed simply for their participation.

Rory McIlroy, who is teaming up with Scottie Scheffler to compete against DeChambeau and Koepka, has shared his excitement for the event. While some may view the match as a statement on the ongoing PGA vs. LIV rivalry, McIlroy insists it’s more about bringing golf fans together and showcasing coexistence between the tours. He emphasized that the December timing, a quiet period for the sport, offers a perfect opportunity to reignite interest and excitement among golf enthusiasts.
