Each of the pros were forced to play with fun handicaps, such as teeing off with a hockey stick on the Ninja Turtles hole or a spatula on the Spongebob themed hole.

The finals, which took place at the Rose Bowl, featured the teams captained by Justin Thomas and John Rahm with Thomas continuing his hot-streak in 2022 and taking home the trophy.
