JUNO BEACH, Fla. — Although the PGA Tour doesn't officially resume until June, golf returns to Palm Beach County this weekend with some of the sport's biggest names competing in a charity match.

The TaylorMade Driving Relief charity match will be held Sunday afternoon at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach.

Jupiter resident Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff will compete against Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson in a team skins game with a $3 million purse to raise money for coronavirus relief.

McIlroy and Johnson, who also live in Palm Beach County, are playing for the American Nurses Foundation, while Fowler and Wolff are playing for the CDC Foundation.
