“It’s been difficult to witness what so many are enduring over the last several weeks due to the COVID-19 pandemic,” McIlroy said in a statement. “I hope that we can provide some respite and entertainment for those tuning in across the globe. Dustin and I will have a lot of fun together and our games will fit well as we push to raise funds and awareness on May 17.”

The PGA Tour shut down on March 12, after one round of the Players Championship, and subsequently canceled or postponed numerous events.

It has released a revised schedule that is to begin June 11 with the Charles Schwab Cup in Fort Worth, Texas, with the first four events to be played without spectators.
