The first Match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson featured a large pile of cash for the winner.
The latest rendition will have crypto being doled out to the champ.
This is all because the PGA Tour vs. LIV Golf showdown featuring Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler against Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka has a title sponsor and according to a report, it’s Crypto.com.
The name of the upcoming event is the Crypto.com Showdown and it’ll be in Las Vegas on Tuesday, Dec. 17.
The winners will receive a multimillion-dollar prize in CRO Cronos, which is the native token of Crypto.com. This marks the first instance of a major sports competition offering a prize purse entirely in cryptocurrency.
“This tournament demonstrates the potential of cryptocurrency to reshape the sports and entertainment industries,” Marzalek said in the story.
The event is organized by BZ Entertainment and EverWonder Studio.
Crypto.com currently partnerships with Formula 1, UFC and the World Cup.
