Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy are a bit more flush in cryptocurrency on Tuesday.
The pair defeated Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka at The Crypto.com Showdown, claiming the $10 million prize that will be paid out in crypto. The PGA Tour duo secured the win over the LIV Golf pairing in the unique event, with the first six holes contested as best ball, the next six by alternate shots and the final six holes as singles.
“I don’t know a whole lot about crypto, but this is good enough motivation to do some research,” Scheffler said on TNT after winning the event.
