Four of the world’s top golfers will get back into the swing of things tonight (Sunday 17 May) in the TaylorMade Driving Relief skins match between the majestic team of Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson against former Oklahoma State standouts Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff.
If the return of the Bundesliga wasn’t enough to satisfy sports fans after this lengthy spell out, this star-studded event will give golf fans a chance to watch some of the top talents in action, in a unique format and on a course that’s never been seen before on TV.
