Turkish World Final Sounds Interesting, If You Get To See It

I found no Golf Channel listing for the 8-man cash grab in Turkey starting Tuesday and ending Friday.

Therefore, the event designed to bring more attention to the 2020 Olympic-hopeful nation will not have a U.S. television presence. But Sky Sports will carry the $5.2 million event in the UK and I was pleasantly surprised to see in this unbylined Sky report that it's match play. Sort of.

Joining McIlroy and Woods - the top two players in the world rankings - are England's Lee Westwood and Justin Rose, South African Charl Schwartzel and Americans Webb Simpson, Matt Kuchar and Hunter Mahan.

The format is medal match play (head-to-head matches with the lowest strokeplay score over 18 holes winning) and will feature two groups of four.

Each golfer will play three matches in the group stages, with the winners and runners up from each group advancing to the semi-finals. The winner of Group A will play the runner up of Group B and vice versa.
