The 2024 Crypto.com Showdown format has been announced for the exhibition match to be played December 17 at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy teaming up to take on Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka.
The format for the two-on-two event, which begins at 6 p.m. Eastern at the Sin City-area golf club, is match play with a unique format.
The Crypto.com Showdown format
The format will showcase the 18-hole Shadow Creek Golf Course. However, the round will be divided into three six-hole segments, each with an assigned point value.
For the first six holes, the teams will compete in best ball. Each player on each team will tee off on a hole. That team will pick the best of the two tee shots, then each hit second shots from that location. This process continues until the ball is holed. Each team's score for the hole is the total number of shots taken (and selected) to hole the ball.
For the second six holes, the teams will compete in alternate shot. At the start of a hole, one player from each team will tee off. The other player on that team will hit the team's second shot from where tee shot lands. This alternating process will continue for each team until the ball is holed. Each team's score for the hole is the total number of shots taken by the two players combined to hole the ball.
The final six holes will showcase two singles matches between the teams. The players will match up against one another in 1-vs-1 competition, where each player will play a hole out in total on their own and compare their score for each hole to their selected opponent.
The team with the most points at the end of the 18-hole round and its three segments will win.
The winning team will earn the winner's share of the Crypto.com Showdown purse, which will be paid in Crypto.com's Cronos (CRO) coin.
