News
Report: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson “Match” set to return in 2019 and 2020
The match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson was one of the most talked about events in the world of golf in 2018, and it appears that the alternative event is one that we will see more of in the future.
According to this report from Golf Digest, Woods and Mickelson signed a three-year deal, which locked in an annual event involving the two men until 2020.
Turner’s three-year deal is with both Woods’ and Mickelson’s business companies, so you can certainly expect both men to be involved in the following two events. However, as per the report, the next match-up is highly likely to be a team event, which will draw an extra two players to the contest, along with Woods and Mickelson.
Neither Turner, nor WarnerMedia revealed just how many people bought the event which had a price tag of $19.95, but according to a source from Golf Digest, the number of subscribers was almost one million.
That number of just under one million subscribers to the original contest will come as a surprise to many. As of now it is not yet known whether or not the next installment in this series will be pay-per-view; however, with almost one million subscribers and significant sponsors who were on board for the first showdown, there appears to be more than enough interest and support to continue to put up substantial prize funds for the players involved.
GolfWRXers, who would you like to see star in a team event alongside Woods and Mickelson in 2019? Should Tiger and Phil team up, or remain on opposite sides?
Let us know what you think!

They probably know this is all very tacky but then their egos take over.

There is a failure to distinguish between those who are interested because they are involved with golf in some way and the armchair sports viewers who will watch anything that’s being touted as ‘big’,although a million viewers worldwide doesn’t sound that brilliant to me.
It will probably go down as one of the tackiest and most turgid events in sports tv history.

i don’t get why so many demand them to donate to charity. if they can generate viewers and everyone involved sees a profit, why should they be obligated to donate to charity. these two donate millions to charity already. does any other athlete who capitlizes on their name, ability, or likeness feel obligated to donate to charity.
are the same people demanding michael jordan donate his shoe profits to charity?
what is the specific net worth of someone need to be before they ‘should donate everything to charity because they already have enough money’

“what is the specific net worth of someone need to be before they ‘should donate everything to charity because they already have enough money’”
whatever the amount is, it’s far, far below what Woods and Mickelson make. And, yes, people say the same about Michael Jordan, and folks in every walk of life who make ludicrously inflated incomes due to the rigging of the system and the complete (brainwashed) misalignment of values in the world.
Based on average US household income (not individual); most families would have to work for 15,000 years to accumulate Woods’ net worth.
If you don’t think that’s wrong, then you’re part of the problem.
Go on, tell me “But he earns it! He deserves it!”… then remind me how “entitled” people are for wanting food, shelter, clothing and medical care…

Less than .1% of the people in this world have a better work ethic/drive than Tiger Woods. Look up his “daily” regimen. He has earned everything he has received.
You’re right. It would take 15,000 years for average individual to accumulate that wealth. But the average individual will never be able to play golf at Tiger’s level. NEVER.
Do a little research next time before you start hating on athletes and their money. Tiger’s foundation has served more than 175,000 students and employees 1,000 educators each year. Those students have a 98.7% college graduation rate. Pretty sure he is doing is fair share.

What a damn Money making sham. Let them play for their own money, then donate the winnings to a good charity, then it would be bearable. This is nothing but a money maker for all concerned and that is not right, they have lowered themselves to a “Rocky” like status. Bother to watch it ? NO, care about it NO, respect them both, NO.
Forger it guys, show some pride.

I’m looking forward to it. Its a form of entertainment and I enjoy match play.
Also Woods is certainly not past his prime.

If all the winnings went to charity this farce of a game might be faintly bearable to watch.

The first post above by Thomas A is right on the button. These 2 are making a mockery of the game and all the good they have contributed to the development of this great sport is going down in a sad show of excessive hubris. Why don’t they contribute $9 million each and give it to a good cause. This is turning into a sad clown show.
Thomas A

Seriously ridiculous. The $9 million should go to charity. Neither of these 1%’ers need a handout like that. They’ve reduced themselves to festival golf.

“One of the most talked about.events in the world of golf in 2018”
1) are they commenting that it was good?
2) I know no one that actually watched the event even when it was free
3) I suppose the many people that were talking about it were also at the inauguration
4) what an embarrassment. Granted that Woods and Mickelson helped the game of golf 20 years ago, if this joke was held in 2000, maybe
5) and yes. Donate it to charity
6) I enjoyed the skins game. At least it was fun

You would have preferred a couple of younger players like Jordan and Rickie?? With all the victories they had last year would have made for a great match….

I don’t think there is any heads up match worth paying for with the field as it is.
And how piss poor was the 2018 match set up? They finished in complete darkness. Had to use flashlights and replay the par 3 over and over and over because balls would be lost if they hit anything bigger than short irons. Hahaha
