Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson match: Date, details on $10M charity event with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning
The specifics of this mega-hyped matchup set for late May have been unveiled
The much-anticipated charity golf match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, which will feature Peyton Manning in Tiger's corner and Tom Brady teaming up with Lefty, will be held on Sunday, May 24 with $10 million going to benefit coronavirus relief. Woods, Manning, Mickelson and Brady will tee it up at 3 p.m. ET from Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida, according to a Thursday press release.
Dubbed "The Match: Champions for Charity," the event will be simulcast on TNT and TBS with all of the donated money going to the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. It sounds as if at least some of it will come from the players' own pockets.
The match will include nine holes of fourball (best ball) play followed by nine more holes of alternate shot play at Medalist, which is going to engender so much tension the first time one of the quarterbacks puts Tiger or Mickelson in jail off the tee.
Last time Woods and Mickelson played a match was in November 2018 when Mickelson beat his top rival for $9 million and a big belt he had displayed in the background of a video interview he did with the other competitors this week. It wasn't the only thing he had displayed in the background, either.

Associated with the live telecast, WarnerMedia and the golfers will collectively make a charitable donation of $10 million to benefit COVID-19 relief. As part of the fundraising efforts, the competition will also include a partnership with the ALL IN Challenge, along with additional on-course competitive challenges for charity.
Entities that will receive the money -- presumably more than the $10 million off the top after you add in the competitive challenges on the course -- include Direct Relief, the American Red Cross, Save Small Business, and the ALL IN Challenge.
