Rory McIlroy, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff will take part in a charity event to raise money for coronavirus charities. The foursome will compete in the TaylorMade Driving Relief – a two-team skins challenge over 18 holes – at Seminole in Florida on 17 May.

McIlroy, the world No 1, will team up with Johnson and go head-to-head with Fowler and Wolff, with up to US$3m (£2.38m) going to the American Nurses Foundation and CDC Foundation. All four will follow strict physical-distancing measures and comprehensive testing will be utilised to protect players, TV production staff and others on the course.
