The Tyco Golf Skills Challenge is an offseason event that features six separate skills competitions, including long drive, mid-iron, bunker shot, chip shot, trouble shot and short-iron.
The reverse scramble competition forces teams to use the worse of the two shots, with the chip-off playoff round taking place after a tie occurred following two rounds.
