14 year-old Chinese golfer Guan Tianlang will reportedly contend with world number one Tiger Woods and Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy in a 'skills challenge' before an 18-hole showdown between the two stars at the Blackstone Course at Mission Hills Haikou, China.

Guan had become the youngest player in April to compete at the Masters, and despite being penalised a stroke for slow play, still managed to finish as the leading amateur.

According to Sport24, the clash between Woods and McIlroy will be held at the Blackstone Course on October 28.

The skills challenge, which is a part of the showpiece for the main tournament, will feature the three players hitting shots at three targets at a distance of 50, 100 and 125 yards.
