Who asked for more exhibition golf? The Showdown is barely even a bandage on PGA Tour, LIV Golf divide

Four of the biggest golfers in the world will battle head-to-head in a retread of a tired premise

The fans. The fans. The fans. That is who Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka will be playing for later this year in Las Vegas in the latest rendition of made-for-TV exhibition golf dubbed "The Showdown." The four players will bridge the divide between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf for one night only showing golf fans a glimpse of what may be possible in the future.

Or was it the past? I keep forgetting.

While the meticulously worded quotes in the press release exuded excitement straight from the horses' mouths, let's not lose track of what this event is a race towards. (Hint: It's not entertaining the fans.) It's what helped fractured the sport and remains the item those within the game cannot stop talking about.
