Charles Barkley had the question of the night at The Showdown.

As usual, if Barkley is in front of a mic, he's going to say something either super inappropriate or provocative.

In this case, both.

Speaking to Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau in between holes, Barkley had a certain question about the golfer's golf balls.

Of course the basketball Hall of Famer delivered and phrased it as only he could.

"I asked Trevor how different it is playing a different type of ball for somebody else," Barkley questioned. "How different are your guys' balls?"

There was an awkward pause between the two professional golfers, as they looked at one another.

"Our balls are quite a bit different," Koepka finally said with a straight face as best he could.

"We'll be alright. It will be just fine, I ain't worried about it."

"I worked with his ball yesterday, it should be just fine," DeChambeau added.

The two bursted into laughter after that.

Brooks and DeChambeau are competing against Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy in a highly anticipated event that pits the two LIV golfers against the PGA golfers.

The event's format is set to be played over 18 holes and will be scored via match play rather than normal stroke play.

In match play, the two duos will compete against one another on every hole, with the winner of that hole taking a point.

The pair with the most points at the end wins.

And the prize for the winners is quite the treat.

Crypto.com has been named as the sponsor for the event, as the all-star quartet is set to fight for a $10 million prize, but with a twist.

The winner will be awarded the multimillion-dollar prize in CRO, the token of Crypto.com, in an unprecedented move. 

The prize money also exceeds the purse at most tournaments on the PGA Tour, with the exception of majors and signature events.

In other words, there is a lot on the line, with a lot to play for.

No matter whose golf balls are whose.
