The Match 2024: PGA and LPGA stars to square off
The Match IX introduced a mixed-gender format that saw Rory McIlroy and Max Homa represent the PGA, while Lexi Thompson and Rose Zhang represented the LPGA.
McIlroy came out on top in his second appearance at the made-for-TV charity
golf event, winning 10 skins between 12 holes and the sudden-death
closest-to-the-pin competition to earn $2.4 million for charity.
“I’ve played pretty well tonight and hit some pretty good shots,” McIlroy
said. “Hopefully that carries over into the next few days as well.”
Thompson finished second with two skins that secured $200,000 for charity.
Homa and Zhang did not win a skin.
Here are the best moments from The Park golf course in West Palm Beach,
Florida, with McIlroy, Homa, Thompson and Zhang.
