Speaking in the press conference ahead of this year’s event, Koepka and DeChambeau hinted that the next year’s event could see a Ryder Cup style showdown between PGA Tour stars and LIV Golfers. Koepka, the five-time major champion, claimed this event will bring the two tours a bit together.

Koepka further added that the event is not just some friendly competition and expressed his desire to win against the best players.
These words from Koepka also comes after he admitted that he was wrong about DeChambeau. The two golfers had some verbal spats before. However, since moving to LIV Golf, the two of them have toned down the beef and have started to respect each other after spending a lot of time together.

Speaking of the Ryder Cup, next year, the tournament will be contested at the Bethpage Course in New York. In recent weeks, this tournament has been a major talking point.
There have been reports that Team USA players could get paid $400,000 if the board approves it. If the plan goes through, this would mark the first time a player would get directly compensated.
As for the upcoming Showdown event, the winners will receive a special prize. The winning team will earn $10 million in cryptocurrency instead of actual money.
