🏆Bryson DeChambeau’s Playful Jab at Rory McIlroy Ahead of ‘The Showdown’

Ahead of the highly anticipated ‘The Showdown’ event, Bryson DeChambeau took a lighthearted dig at Rory McIlroy’s collapse in this year’s U.S. Open, where McIlroy lost a significant lead by dropping three shots in the final four holes.

Set for match play format with a $10 million prize (paid in Crypto.com’s CRO cryptocurrency), the event will feature DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka against McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. Despite the jest, McIlroy sees the match as an exciting opportunity to energize fans and unite the golf community.

💰U.S. Ryder Cup Team to Receive Compensation for the First Time 💰

For the first time ever, American players will be compensated for their participation in the 2024 Ryder Cup, scheduled for next September in New York. The PGA of America will pay each player and team captain $200,000, with an additional $300,000 to be donated to charities of their choice.

While some players, like Scottie Scheffler, support the decision, others—including Rory McIlroy and Patrick Cantlay—have emphasized the importance of maintaining the competition’s purity without financial incentives. The change comes as the U.S. team looks to turn around a record of 10 losses in the last 14 Ryder Cup matches.
