About that time of the year, right? Where a new event made for TV Golf is announced for the slowest months in the Golf calendar? These events take place in November or December, usually, with a small portion of competitors from the renowned Golf cast of characters coming together for something you haven’t seen before.
We are in a steady pace of these confrontations of new forms. In 2023, it was Netflix Cupwhere the F1 leaders paired with the tournament players in a fight format. In 2022, it was Tiger Woods and Rory Mcilroy against Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas, Under the lights in the pellet bay. That was a good pleasure. In 2021, if you will remember, we have received Brooks Koepka and Bryson Dechambeau Facing to end their long duel. In 2020, Phil Mickelson competed along with Peyton Manning against Charles Barkley and Steph Curry. (I would see it again!)
This time, we’ve got the Golf Channel games, held at Trump National in Jupiter, Fla. On December 17.
Technically this will also be different from everything you have seen before. In whole, this is – because we I have See the parts before. They have also been fun. And together they answer a question that golf fans have been looking for for years.
Golf Channel games will present a small part of the challenges based on time or strategy, looking for the Mcilroy team against Team Scheffler-Captains with the most prominent participants.
Games will start with a Time game, chip and puttin which players are in the right time as long as they need to make each of those disciplines in a certain way. (Ie. The time it takes to hit 2,000 feet of shots with tee.) This is the most original gang competition.
The other is 14-KBUB ChallengeWhere players from Team Mcilroy will receive an opponent from Team Scheffler, choosing clubs form the same bag, and after using a club, he is no longer available to their opponent. The closest to the PIN wins. If that format sounds known to you, it is very similar to a game with content made by the Tour World DP.

The third challenge is another we have seen from the DP World Tournament. This is “Fire exchange in time,” Where teammates will be divided into different parts of the hole – one in tee, one on the street, others near Green – in a race to see how fast (and efficiently) a team can make a result. And if you are curious about this format, just know that the world tournament of PD also Popular this pursuit of a world record of Guinness.

Finally, there is “Captain’s challenge,” which will have Mcilroy and Scheffler play six shots from six different positions in one hole, adding the total distance from the hole of those of the shooting. The player with the smallest overall distance will win. It is similar to any closest to PIN Challenge found in Golf’s video games, like Golden Tee.
And in that sense, Golf Channel games need to be a lot of fun: a game-game idea comes to life. Some of the best parts of these Bre-TV matches have been the informal gaming of golf. Like when Woods were asked to throw a 5-tree around and on a few trees with 100 jars, forced into creativity because he would agree on a challenge with a club. These are the best players in the world, and the Golf Channel games promise to at least make them try it in a way we never see. Ever time and then there is a base of players and media as they campaign for an All-Star Golf competition, a kind of PGA Tour’s challenge. Well, this is the closest golf he has ever received to make it happen.
It seems that it will happen in mid -December, when there is no competing PGA Tour event and thus the freedom to roam without demanding much inclusion or approval in the tournament. This is offseason items. Things “season Silly”. The goal will be something different and something fun.
It is also worth noting is how the Golf Channel games will miss Livi players. This may not come as a surprise, but it will be another memory at the end of 2025 that all golf things tend to come with a star these days. Last year’s “The Showdown”, which opened Scheffler and Mcilroy against Bryson Dechambeau of Livi and Brooks Koepka, was billed as the first of what could be a series of matches that included both sides of the broken game ecosystem. But the planning and orchestration of the event did not go exactly for both parties. No additional “showdown” event has been realized.
Additional information about Golf Channel games, including other players expected to be included, will be announced in the coming weeks.
