The most intriguing pairing to me Bubba Watson and Lexi Thompson.

Watson and Thompson provide an interesting group that has to be must watch. With Bubba being one of the best shot shapers in the world of golf and Thompson being one of the best LPGA Tour players the pair is sure to not disappoint.

English and Kuchar are the most successful pairing in the history of the QBE Shootout. This is the pairs seventh time playing together in the event and their finishes include two runner up’s in 2014, 2015 and three first place finishes in 2013, 2016, and 2020.

Partners Kisner and Homa are sure to bring golf fans some entertainment with both players being creative on social media and having some very entertaining quotes come out from interviews throughout the years.

Although the event, hosted by Greg Norman, does not have any FedEx Cup point associated with it, there is still a $3.6 million purse for the players to win.

The format for the event is Friday scramble, Saturday modified alternate shot, and four-ball for Sunday’s final round.

The final event for the PGA Tour of the year is set to be a fun one. Who do you think will win?
