TORONTO (May 15, 2020) – CTV and TSN hit the links as live golf returns to television this Sunday, May 17 with TAYLORMADE DRIVING RELIEF, a $3 million charity skins match supporting COVID-19 relief efforts airing live from Seminole Golf Club in Juno Beach, Fla., beginning at 2 p.m. ET on CTV, TSN3, and TSN5.
TAYLORMADE DRIVING RELIEF features two-time FedExCup champion and World #1 player Rory McIlroy and 20-time PGA TOUR event winner Dustin Johnson teaming up against two Oklahoma State University alumni: PGA TOUR superstar Rickie Fowler and 2019 NCAA National Champion Matthew Wolff.
