World number one Scheffler has Keegan Bradley, who captained the United States team at Bethpage Black, Sam Burns and upcoming PGA Tour talent Luke Clanton as his picks.

The tournament, which is set to be played through in around four hours, consists of five different challenges, with points available for each.
