Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka will face off in a made-for-TV showdown in the next installment of Capital One’s The Match on Friday, November 26.
Presented by Turner Sports, the 12-hole event will be exclusively televised on TNT with live coverage beginning at 4 pm ET from Wynn Las Vegas, home of the top-ranked Wynn Golf Course. Designed by Tom Fazio and his son, Logan, the 6,722-yard, par-70 golf course is considered one of the best in Las Vegas. TNT’s presentation of Capital One’s The Match will also be simulcast on TBS, truTV and HLN.
DeChambeau won in his first time competing in Capital One’s The Match – pairing with Aaron Rodgers – this past July, when they topped Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady. Winner of the 2020 US Open and an eight-time winner on the PGA Tour overall, DeChambeau is currently the No. 7-ranked player in the world.
This will be Koepka’s first appearance as a competitor in Capital One’s The Match, though through his foundation he donated US$100,000 to COVID-19 relief efforts during Capital One’s The Match: Champions for Charity in May 2020 in connection with a memorable front-nine birdie from Brady. Koepka also owns eight PGA Tour titles including four Majors over a three-year span: the 2018 and 2019 PGA Championship and 2017 and 2018 U.S. Open.
DeChambeau (2-0-1) and Koepka (2-2-0) were both members of the victorious US team’s resounding win over Europe at the recent Ryder Cup.
Live coverage of the match play event will once again feature unprecedented access with players having open mics throughout the entire competition, including the capability to communicate directly with their competitor and the broadcast commentators.
Capital One’s The Match has raised nearly US$30 million in support of various charities and initiatives and has generated nearly 10 million meal donations through Feeding America and other organizations.
