What format will McIlroy-Zhang and Homa-Thompson follow at the event?

Capital One’s ‘The Match’ will have an exciting format as men and women compete with each other individually in a skins match. All players will tee off using the same tee on the four par-3 holes. They are later allowed to use a different tee for the remaining 8 holes.

The charm of the event is that each hole will be assigned a specific value for charity. All four will be competing to contribute their share for the greater good. The player with the most skins at the end of the round wins, and the one who raises the most money through the skins will be declared the winner.
