Crypto.com is sponsoring the first golf tournament with a crypto purse on Dec.14 in Las Vegas.
Players from rival golf tours will face off in December for a purse reportedly worth $10 million in cryptocurrency. Title sponsor Crypto.com will pay golf’s first-ever crypto prize in its native Cronos token.
The Crypto.com Showdown will see Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy of the PGA Tour face off against Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau of LIV Golf in an 18-hole mini-tournament at the Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The event is described as a “Ryder Cup-style event, with match-play rounds of four-ball, singles and alternate shot.”
