It’s Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson: Match II (technically The Match: Champions for Charity), but the unique twist of this version from the first time Tiger and Lefty played a similar event two years ago is that Peyton Manning will team up with Tiger and Tom Brady will with Mickelson. The exhibition is from Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida, and television coverage will begin at 3 p.m. ET.
Woods and Manning are -225 favorites with Mickelson and Brady at +170. These four guys have combined for 20 PGA Tour major championships, eight Super Bowl rings and eight NFL MVP regular-season awards. Of course, Brady is still playing in the league but is now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Manning retired after winning his final Super Bowl title in SB 50 while with the Denver Broncos. Manning vs. Brady might be the best individual NFL matchup in history, but the two are friends.
