. The QBE Shootout, which will be staged this week in Naples, Fla., will become a joint tournament in 2023,Two LPGA superstars—Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson—were added to this year's tournament. The No. 2 and No. 7 players in the world will be paired with Denny McCarthy and Maverick McNealy, respectively.
"I think it’s something that needed to be done for quite a while,” Billy Horschel told the Associated Press. “When you look at the game of golf, the fans want to see more team events, see something different. It’s going to benefit the PGA Tour, but I think it’s going to benefit the LPGA Tour even more in terms of getting more exposure.”"This is long overdue. It will be a massive boost," said Dottie Pepper, who took home the 1992 title with partner Dan Forsman.
The 2022 QBE Shootout boasts a $3.8 million purse, where teams share equal portions of the payout. The first round will commence on Friday, Dec. 1 with coverage beginning on Golf Channel at 1:00 p.m. ET.
