The Match Pt. 2 is ‘on’: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning to tee it up for charity
“It’s on now,” Phil Mickelson tweeted at Tiger Woods and Tom Brady.
“It” refers to the long-rumored sequel to “The Match,” the 2018 Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson made-for-television showdown.
In this installment, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson will be joined by Peyton Manning and Tom Brady for “The Match: Champions for Charity,” according to a Turner Sports release.
Fundraising efforts and donations around the event will benefit COVID-19 relief, with the specific charities to be announced later.
The venue and specific date are also TBD, as is the format, however, we do know the event will air on TNT.
The rumored pairings are Mickelson and Manning taking on Woods and Brady. At least one sportsbook is already offering odds on those pairings (SuperBook USA; Woods/Brady +130, Mickelson/Manning -150). However, a Mickelson tweet suggests he’ll be joining forces with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback.
According to Turner, “Tournament organizers are currently working with state and local government and public health officials on competition and production logistics to ensure the event follows safety and health protocols.”
The PGA Tour is yet to approve members Woods and Mickelson participating in the event.
“We are still in discussions on a number of items, including ensuring the health and safety for all involved with the event,” A Tour official told the Action Network’s Jason Sobel.
In November, 2018, Mickelson defeated Woods at the first “Match,” claiming the $9 million first prize with a birdie on the fourth playoff hole.

Made for TV garbage.
Brady and Manning? Pathetic joke.

By using football players, you’re bringing in a bigger audience. And the commentary from all of them will be hilarious.

What a great idea. I love golf and I love football. Tom Brady and Phil would be an awesome team. Can’t wait! (I hope they play in Pinehurst.)

Woods and Stricker vs Mickelson and Furyk would be the ultimate match IMO

That would be real golf, not the fake garbage they are proposing with this fiasco. TV wouldn’t be interested in real golf.

Golf is dead. Maybe not to us but it’s only going one direction. It ain’t up.

the health and safety?? Let’s be real here … less than .002 percent of Americans are currently sick . They have a better chance of getting hit by lightening on the course, the lifetime risk of being struck by lightning in the United States is roughly one in 3,000. Play the damn game!

Sorry Jim, your math doesn’t quite add up….too much FN I suspect. 850K/330M is not .002 percent. Facts.

I suggest you shove your tongue down the throat of someone who has full blown Covid-19 and invite four or five of them to have dinner in your home. Make sure they sit right next to you, maybe six inches (not feet) away from you.
The ignorance present in your comment is astounding, but not at all surprising.

No, it wouldn’t be “epic” and most of them would not put their own money up. They don’t know what it is to risk their own money and those that do aren’t putting up a million. These events are always bankrolled by the third part sponsors and not by the particpants.

So what. At least it’s new entertainment you don’t have to watch it your comments are not productive or enlightening except the covid one to the ignorant moron

have no desire to watch football players play golf..just a stupid idea. we want a real competition .. maybe two against two where both teams hate each other.

4-10 pros, each putting up a million. Head to Head match play. Winner takes all. Steep buy-in will attract the best. Would be epic!

I would rather see Woods and Mickelson against McIlroy and Rose or Koepka and Dustin Johnson.

I agree though i can also see how they would want football fans interested too for viewership numbers. Ill put my money on this being another dud just for the reason they are trying to please multiple styles of people. UNLESS it airs before all the lock downs are lifted. Where im at that means they would need to hurry up and make this happen yesterday.
