The Park in West Palm Beach, Florida, will play host for the ninth installment of “The Match” series Monday evening. This time around, Rory McIlroy, Max Homa, Rose Zhang and Lexi Thompson will play a skins game under the lights.
The 12-hole event will be live on TNT, truTV, HLN and streaming on Max starting at 6:30 p.m. ET.
All four golfers will utilize the same tees for the four par-3 holes in the routing, while the remaining eight holes will use varying tee boxes and yardages for the men and women.
“I’m always amused with the women and how they can control all those sorts of hybrids and fairway woods. Hopefully, there’s an opportunity for us all to hit those sort of shots so I can see that up close and personal, but I think this is really cool,” McIlroy said last week during a Zoom call with the media.
Here are the betting odds and a few picks for tonight’s Match IX.
| Player | Odds |
| Rory McIlroy | (+200) |
| Max Homa | (+230) |
| Rose Zhang | (+300) |
| Lexi Thompson | (+330) |

Homa’s personality fits this type of event perfectly, and I’m sure we’ll get a few memorable mic’d-up moments from the world No. 8.
After missing the cut at the WM Phoenix Open, Homa came right back and tied for 16th at the Genesis Invitational.
