The event showcased a mix of formats, including best-ball, alternate shot, and singles play, with the PGA duo dominating throughout, never trailing. McIlroy's strong performance, highlighted by a 40-foot eagle putt, set the tone for their win, where they clinched the $10 million prize, paid in cryptocurrency. The competition offered a rare chance for the rival tours' top players to face off outside of major tournaments, raising speculation about the potential for future Ryder Cup-style matches.
