Golf fans got quite a show with the TaylorMade Driving Relief on Sunday.
Ultimately, the pair of Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson earned a win over opponents Rickie Fowler and Matthew Wolff in the charity match. The McIlroy-Johnson tandem took the 18-hole, team skins match at Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Fla. by a verdict of 11 skins to seven.
However, that wasn’t even the most noteworthy aspect. All told, the event raised $5.5 million for charity.
Here are some highlights from Sunday’s match:
