Teebox - Tayormade Driving Relief

Rors, DJ, Rickie and Wolff star pro bono in US$3 million charity skins match

In a collaboration, the PGA TOUR, NBC Sports and Sky Sports announced the return of televised golf with Taylormade Driving Relief, centered around a US$3 million charity skins match supported by Unitedhealth Group to raise money and awareness for the American Nurses Foundation and CDC Foundation, who are leading COVID-19 relief efforts.

The broadcast was from Seminole Golf Club, a majestic Donald Ross design with a clever routing on a rectangular site, each hole encountering a new wind direction. No fans or spectators were permitted on site for the event featuring two-time Fedexcup champion and World No. 1 Rory Mcilroy and 20-time PGA TOUR winner Dustin Johnson, who teamed up against two Oklahoma State University alumni: PGA TOUR superstar Rickie Fowler and 2019 firsttime TOUR winner Matthew Wolff. The competition followed strict CDC social distancing guidelines, local mandates and appropriate testing measures to help protect the health and safety of the golfers, production crew and others on site.

All four golfers donated their time for the 18-hole, two-man team skins competition, with Mcilroy/johnson playing for the American Nurses Foundation and Fowler/wolff playing for the CDC Foundation.

The entire event was streamed globally via PGA TOUR LIVE, GOLFPASS, Golfchannel.com and GOLFTV powered by PGA TOUR. Pre-match coverage as well as the first two holes of the event also streamed on Twitter.

Commentary came via Mike Tirico from his home in Michigan, as well as analysts Paul Azinger and Gary Koch and play-by-play with Rich Lerner from an offsite production facility.
