Bryson DeChambeau took aim at Rory McIlroy on Monday as he teased the Northern Irishman about his meltdown at the US Open. The two players are set to go head-to-head in The Showdown in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
McIlroy will partner with Scottie Scheffler to represent the PGA Tour in the one-day event, while DeChambeau will team up with Brooks Koepka for LIV Golf.
The Showdown is the first of its kind and will be played under floodlights as a Ryder Cup-style 18-hole event.
McIlroy appeared to be cruising to his fifth Major title at the US Open in June as he held a two-stroke lead going into the final four holes.
But the 35-year-old got himself into all sorts of bother in the closing stages of the tournament as he missed two simple putts from inside three feet over the last three holes.
He eventually finished one stroke behind DeChambeau, who clinched his second Major after winning the US Open for the first time in 2020.
