The tickets are not available to the general public, per the latest post Tracking Scheffler shared on X. “Interestingly, another listing for four tickets to the Showdown event with Scheffler/McIlroy/Bryson/Koepka lists that tickets are NOT available to the public. This listing is currently netting a $3,500 bid”, read the post. This whopping high bid has left many fans wondering if they’ll be shut out of the event altogether.

However, while many fans think of the event as an amazing tournament only, DeChambeau thinks of something completely altogether.

Bryson DeChambeau says The Showdown will ‘give the people what they want

Bryson DeChambeau is super stoked about the upcoming exhibition match that’s bringing together the best of the PGA Tour and LIV Golf League. The December showdown in Las Vegas will feature DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka taking on Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler. According to the golfer, this could be the start of something big – more collaborations between the two golf worlds, giving fans more chances to see top players duke it out beyond just the four majors.

“We always wanted to have a PGA Tour and LIV sort of battle a couple of years ago. We always thought that would be pretty cool and whatnot. But I think it’s going to develop over the course of time and hopefully give the people what they want”, said the golfer.  DeChambeau’s all about unity in golf, and he’s got reason to be proud after killing it in the 2024 majors which included snagging the U.S. Open title.
