Johnson, McIlroy headline skins game Sunday on TSN. MORE:
Dustin Johnson left The Players Championship two months ago and didn't play another round of golf until four days ago, the start of a crash course for his return to playing before a television audience.They play against Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff on Sunday at Seminole Golf Club in a charity skins game, the first live golf on television since the opening round of The Players Championship on March 12. It was cancelled — along with sports worldwide — because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
McIlroy has been playing some but not really working. He expects that to start after the Sunday match, giving him three full weeks of hard practice to get ready for the PGA Tour's return at Colonial. The players will not have caddies and will carry their own bags. The advantage there goes to Wolff, who was still at Oklahoma State this time last year and has recent experience lugging his own clubs.“I think we have a big responsibility on ourselves to make sure that we practice all the guidelines that the PGA Tour is going to set in place,” Johnson said. “Obviously, everyone is going to be watching what we’re doing, so I think it’s very important for us to do it all correctly.
“It's a great opportunity for us to implement similar procedures to what we’re going to be implementing when we return to competition on the PGA Tour and see how they work, albeit in a very much smaller manner,” Levinson said. The event is called “TaylorMade Driving Relief,” with all four players have endorsement deals with TaylorMade. The quality of the golf might not be up to standard with players coming off such a long break.
