Before a potential merger can be finalized, the worlds of LIV Golf and the PGA Tour collide on Tuesday in Las Vegas.

While a major championship isn’t on the line as it typically is when the best of the best from each league share the course, bragging rights — and a large cryptocurrency prize — are on the table for some of the most recognizable names in golf.

The PGA Tour’s Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, with six major wins between them, are going up against LIV’s Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau, who combine to outdo their rivals with a combined seven major wins. Former rivals themselves, Koepka and DeChambeau are looking to prove LIV Golf is home to some of the world’s best talent.

The four stars will play a standard 18 holes, but each six-hole stretch will be played under a different format. Only one team will emerge with a victory when all is said and done.
