Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka will take their rivalry to another level when they go head-to-head in 'The Match' in Las Vegas next month.

Koepka vs DeChambeau 1-on-1

DeChambeau and Koepka have been at loggerheads on the PGA Tour and appear to have taken against one another, though the American pair come together to help the United States to a record-setting Ryder Cup triumph over Europe last month.

There has been tension since 2019 after Koepka called out DeChambeau for slow play, while the latter responded by taking aim at his fellow American's physique in 2020.

Wynn Golf Course will host showdown

Now, 2020 U.S. Open champion DeChambeau and four-time major winner Koepka will face off in a mouth-watering 12-hole exhibition at Wynn Golf Course on November 26.

It will be the fifth edition of 'The Match' after the inaugural instalment between legendary golfer Tiger Woods and six-time major champion Phil Mickelson in 2018 – the latter earned a lucrative $9million payout.

DeChambeau's second time "Matching" up

In July, DeChambeau teamed up with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to beat Mickelson and Tampa Bay Buccaneers superstar Tom Brady in the fourth edition of the exhibition event.
