Preview: The Golf Channel Games

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy will be leading their respective teams in the Golf Channel games tonight at 7:30 PM ET on Golf Channel and USA Network.

Team Scheffler: Scottie, Sam Burns, Luke Clanton, and Keegan Bradley.

Team McIlroy: Rory, Shane Lowry, Haotong Li and Luke Donald.

According to the PGA TOUR, the teams will participate in a "NFL Combine” style competition. Here are the challenges.

  • Timed drive competition: Players compete in head-to-head duels with two minutes on the clock and must combine power and accuracy to launch drives into a scoring grid.

  • Timed short-game competition: A combination of chipping and putting in which players hit shots from multiple locations around the green before tackling a putting gauntlet from varying distances — with just three minutes to complete both challenges.

  • Fourteen-club challenge: Two teams of two players from each side will square off, drawing a club from a single bag (including driver and putter) in a closest-to-the-pin competition from a designated distance in the fairway. All 14 clubs will be used — seven shots per player, per side — and once a club is used, it’s out. Each team will also pick a player to hit a lefty 15th shot.

  • Timed shootout: This four-player, alternate-shot challenge takes place on three holes with players staged throughout each hole: one on the tee, one in the fairway and two around the green. Lowest score in the shortest amount of time wins.

  • Captain's challenge: The last competition will pit McIlroy and Scheffler against each other, specifically. Each will hit from predetermined locations, and shots will include irons from a variety of distances, as well as wedge, pitch, bunker shot, greenside shot, 30-foot putt and 10-foot putt.
