Wie and Daly will compete against the team of PGA Tour golfer Hank Kuehne and Lopez in a skins game three days before the start of the Nationwide Tour's Boise Open.
The exhibition will feature two of the longest drivers on the men's tour, and Wie, whose 281-yard driving average led the field at the U.S. Women's Open this month.
Daly, who won the 1991 PGA Championship and 1995 British Open, has led the U.S. PGA Tour in driving distance the past eight years. This year, he trails Kuehne's 318-yard driving average by eight yards.
Golf Channel will show the exhibition from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Hawai'i time. The cable network also will televise the Boise Open, an event on the second-tier men's tour.
Proceeds from the skins game, where teams compete for money on each hole, will be donated to the golf programs at Boise State and the University of Idaho.
Wie, who has been on a summer golfing tour of the Mainland, plays at the U.S. Women's Amateur starting Monday in Philadelphia.
