Date set for Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning vs. Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady Golf Match

Finally, we have a sporting event to look forward to and it’s not Korean baseball. The date and location have been set for “The Match: Champions for Charity” featuring Tiger Woods, Peyton Manning, Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady. The live golf competition will take place Sunday, May 24 at Medalist Golf Club in Florida and air on TNT, TBS, truTV, and HLN beginning at 3 p.m. ET.
Woods and Manning will team up vs. Mickelson and Brady in team match play with a four-ball (best ball) format on the front nine and a modified alternate shot format on the back nine. Here are more details from Golf Week:
Each participant will tee off and then the team will play alternate shot from the selected drive. The unique combination of formats is aimed to provide an entertaining mix of strategy, team collaboration and consequence to nearly every shot. As part of the competitive play, there will also be a set of on-course challenges to raise additional charitable funds.
Mickelson won the first charity match against Woods back in November 2018 in Las Vegas, and was sure to remind him of that during a video trash-talking session this afternoon.
Phil came out talking trash, but Tiger had the green jacket ready 😂
