Bryson DeChambeau, a top player on the LIV Golf tour, has challenged Tiger Woods' TGL team to an 18-hole, 4-vs-4 stroke play match. DeChambeau believes a high-profile team event between the two squads could generate significant interest and attention for both the LIV and TGL leagues, which have struggled to gain widespread popularity compared to the PGA Tour.

Why it matters

This potential match-up between DeChambeau's LIV team and Woods' TGL team would pit two of golf's biggest stars and their respective leagues against each other, potentially creating a must-see event that could help boost interest and viewership for both tours as they compete for attention with the dominant PGA Tour.

The LIV star is currently playing in LIV's first event in South Africa, while Woods is weighing whether he'll participate in the upcoming Masters tournament.

“Why not? That would be fun. Show them who's the best, who's the best team in the world, or any of them. LA, it doesn't matter. We'd go up against them. Jon Rahm's team, we'd all go up against them. How great would that be for golf, too, by the way?”
