WELCOME!<\/p>\n
Welcome to Golf Monthly’s coverage of the inaugural Optum Golf Channel Games.<\/p>\n
The occasion promises something a little different, with a series of challenges between two teams of four captained by Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy at Trump National Golf Club in Jupiter, Florida.<\/p>\n
Rather than the usual kind of tournament, McIlroy has compared what’s ahead to an “NFL combine or the 3-pointer contest in basketball or the Home Run Derby in baseball.”<\/p>\n
Let’s see what’s in store as the evening progresses.<\/p>\n

WHAT TO EXPECT? <\/p>\n
So, what exactly can we expect this evening? Well, there are five challenges for the two teams of four under the lights in Florida.<\/p>\n
We’ll have a timed drive competition, a timed short-game competition, a Fourteen-club challenge, a timed shootout and a captain’s challenge.<\/p>\n
The teams are made up of Scottie Scheffler, Keegan Bradley, Sam Burns and Luke Clanton against Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald, Shane Lowry and Haotong Li.<\/p>\n
The action should be getting under way in just over 10 minutes.<\/p>\n
