LPGA standout Lexi Thompson and rising star Rose Zhang will join PGA heavyweights Rory McIlroy and Max Homa in next month’s rendition of “The Match,” it was announced Tuesday.
Thompson and Zhang are the first women to play in the made-for-television event.
McIlroy will make his second appearance in the exhibition, having done so with teammate Tiger Woods in a 3 and 2 loss to Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth in December 2022. Homa will be competing in his first such event.
Thompson, Zhang, McIlroy and Homa will square off in a 12-hole skins match at “The Park” golf course on Feb. 26 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Each hole is worth a specific amount of money for charity.
The PGA Tour and LPGA Tour players will hit from the same tee boxes on the four par-3 holes. The men and women will use different tee boxes for the remaining holes.
The golfer who raises the most money at the conclusion of the event will be declared the winner.
