If you catch something flying overhead during Sunday’s highly anticipated exhibition match between Tiger Woods/Peyton Manning and Phil Mickelson/Tom Brady, allow us to explain. The Match: Champions for Charity is among the events on the schedule for the Goodyear Blimp Wingfoot Two’s flyover of South Florida hospital systems. The blimp is on a goodwill tour over the southern part of the Sunshine State.
The purpose of the flyover is to honor healthcare workers and essential personnel on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The blimp will fly over 11 Florida hospitals while running a thank you message from its LED screen prior to the Champions for Charity match at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida, before providing aerial coverage of the event.
With major sports on hold since mid-March, the blimp has been primarily grounded for the past several weeks. It is making its comeback by first thanking the healthcare workers who made it all possible.
