Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are returning to the Golf Channel Games as captains for a second straight year.<\/p>\n
The competition is scheduled for Dec. 16 at Trump National Golf Course in Jupiter, Fla.<\/p>\n
There will be two four-man teams anchored by Scheffler and McIlroy. The team rosters and challenges will be unveiled later. Golf Channel and USA Sports will telecast the competition.<\/p>\n
During the inaugural Golf Channel Games last year, Team Scheffler narrowly earned the win after a sudden-death, closest-to-the-pin competition from 47 yards featuring the two captains. The other golfers at last year\u2019s event were Luke Donald, Keegan Bradley, Shane Lowry, Sam Burns, Luke Clanton and Haotong Li.<\/p>\n
Other competitions from last year included a 14-club challenge, a team relay race and a timed driving showdown.<\/p>\n
Scheffler, currently ranked as the world\u2019s No. 1 golfer, has won 20 PGA Tour events in his career, including four majors. McIlroy, the No. 2 ranked golfer in the world at the moment, has notched 30 PGA Tour wins overall and six major titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are returning to the Golf Channel Games as captains for a second straight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":789992,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":["post-789991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=789991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/789991\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/789992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=789991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=789991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=789991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
