Brooks Koepka feels like he could be stepping into another Ryder Cup environment, match play with bragging rights at stake, even if it's only two-man teams competing in one match instead of 12-man teams in 28 matches.

Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau, each a major champion the last two years while playing for LIV Golf, take on Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy from the PGA Tour in a made-for-TV match at Shadow Creek in Nevada on Dec. 17.

Scheffler is the No. 1 player in the world ranking after a nine-win season, which included another Masters and an Olympic gold medal. He faced off only four times against Koepka and DeChambeau.

Koepka was asked if Scheffler could have won so much had he faced a full lineup of stars.
