Payne’s Valley Cup<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even before you can clear your head from the amazing display put on by Bryson DeChambeau at the U.S. Open, another event that\u2019s sure to knock your socks off is being played today–the Payne’s Valley Cup<\/a>. The 18-hole charity match will have Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas taking on Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose at Big Cedar Lodge<\/a> in Missouri. The event is to mark the grand opening of the new Tiger Woods’ “Payne’s Valley” course, his first design that is open for public play, with all proceeds going to the Payne Stewart foundation, (2-time U.S. Open winner and member of the World Golf Hall of Fame who was tragically killed in a plane crash in 1999). The Payne’s Valley Cup will have three formats: 6 holes of best ball, followed by six with alternate shot, and then then 6 holes of individual stroke play. There will certainly be some questions surrounding the state of Tiger Woods’ game after missing the cut at Winged Foot, but match play is a format that always gets Tiger\u2019s competitive juices flowing, and with this group we are sure to see aggressive play and plenty of fireworks. Thomas and McIlroy are both playing well, finishing tied for 8th place at the Open, and Justin Rose is major champion who is rarely off his game. When Tiger and Phil dueled in the \u201cThe Match: Champions for Charity” earlier this year, it provided the most unique and enjoyable golf theater I had ever seen\u2014and I have a feeling that Payne\u2019s Cup will be an equally wonderful day of golf. It\u2019s airing at 3pm eastern time today on Golf Channel\u2014you don\u2019t want to miss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
