McIlroy and Scheffler will compete head-to-head and captain two teams of world-class players at the Optum Golf Channel Games in the following timed and strategy-focused challenges under the pressure of the clock and the primetime lights:

The Optum Golf Channel Games will be comprised of the following 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 precision is required in the Short Game Challenge. Players hit shots from multiple locations around the green before tackling a putting gauntlet of putts from varying distances - with just three minutes to complete both challenges.

· 14-Club Challenge - Two Players, One Bag - Two teams of two players from each side will square off in the 14-Club Challenge, 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, 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 - A four-player alternate shot on four holes with teammates staged on the tee (1), in the fairway (1), and around the green (2). Finish with the best score in the shortest amount of time...the clock is running!

· Captains' Challenge - Rory vs. Scottie - Each player hits from predetermined locations. Shots will include iron shots from a variety of distances, as well as wedge, pitch, bunker shot, greenside shot, 30-ft putt, and 10-ft putt.

Emmy-award winners Mark Loomis (producer) and Jeff Jastrow (director) will lead Golf Channel's production of the Optum Golf Channel Games, which were created in partnership with EverWonder Studio and producer Bryan Zuriff. The Optum Golf Channel Games are being launched in association with PGA TOUR Studios.
