The longtime team-based Franklin Templeton/QBE/Shark Shootout in Naples, Florida has gotten something of a makeover in 2023.

With Greg Norman considered persona non grata at the PGA Tour, the event has been “reimagined” including a new name (the Grant Thornton Invitational) and a somewhat new format: while the shootout included a team or two with an LPGA player, the new teams will be uniformly comprised of a PGA Tour player and an LPGA player.

The “inaugural” event (or 35th edition depending on how you see it) is set to tee off Dec. 8-10 (the same schedule slot as the Shootout) at the Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida (the home of the Shootout since 2001).

Golf Channel will broadcast Friday’s first round while the weekend coverage will be split between Golf Channel and NBC.
