Grant Thornton Invitational preview
All the major tours have completed their seasons, with last week’s Hero World Challenge kicking off exhibition season for pro golfers. This week, and for just the second year, top players from both the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour are teaming up to compete in two-player mixed teams.
A star-studded list of 16 teams has gathered at Tiburon Golf Club to battle for the $4 million purse, with $1 million shared between the winners. Those teams include defending champions Lydia Ko and Jason Day; Nelly Korda and Tony Finau; and Lexi Thompson and Rickie Fowler. (UPDATE: Tony Finau withdrew from the tournament on Wednesday, and Daniel Berger will take his place as Korda’s teammate.)
The unique event consists of three rounds featuring different formats. Friday’s format will be a traditional scramble, where each player hits a shot, then chooses the best one and hits their next shots from that spot.
Saturday’s round will feature a traditional foursomes, or alternate shot, format, with teammates playing the same ball and alternating who hits each shot. One team member will tee off on even holes, with the other teammate taking odd holes.
Finally, Sunday’s final round format will be a modified fourball, where teammates switch balls after their tee shots and continue through the rest of the hole.
Golf Channel and NBC will provide TV coverage of the 2024 Grant Thornton Invitational, while Peacock, NBCSports.com and the NBC Sports App will offer streaming coverage online.
