Come for Rory/DJ vs Rickie/Wolff LIVE, stay for Seminole Golf Club
- Updated: May 5, 2020
The PGA Tour is back! Well, it’s sort of back at least for one day, hopefully.
Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson will take on Rickie Fowler and Matt Wolff in a televised match to raise money for COVID-19 relief at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, FL on Sunday, May 17th.
It will be aired live from 2-6 p.m. (ET) on NBC, Golf Channel, NBCSN and Sky Sports, and will be streamed for free on PGA Tour Live (NBC Sports Gold and Amazon Prime Video), GolfPass, GolfChannel.com.
If in fact, this does happen, it will be a must-see, not just for the golf.
Seminole is one of the most revered golf courses in the U.S.
The exclusivity is stunning, and so is the architecture. Donald Ross put this beauty together back in 1929.
The greens at Seminole are the main line of defense for the course and many of them are angled, narrowing towards the back which makes back pins extremely tough. The course is also built on a fairly rectangular piece of land next to the Atlantic but is routed in such a way that players face a new wind direction on each hole.
For us peasant golf nerds, it’s a mythical place considering it’s never on TV and we’ll probably never play it. But it’s real and it’s spectacular.
They also have an annual pro-member with a usually world-class stacked field (see: Jack Nicklaus.) Oh, and future Tampa Bay Buccaneer Hall of Famer Tom Brady is conveniently now a member… must be nice!
