Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning beat Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady in The Match, £20m raised for Covid-19 relief

Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning teamed up to secure a narrow in over Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady in The Match, raising over $20m for Covid-19 relief in the United States.

Woods and Mickelson renewed their rivalry with the two NFL greats joining the contest at the Medalist Golf Club in Florida.

Woods and Manning were three shots up after the first six holes but were hauled back before the 15-time major winner sealed a one-shot victory on the 18th.

Newly-signed Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarter-back Brady endured a torrid start to his round, struggling across the first six holes before producing a breathtaking shot on the seventh.

The six-time Super Bowl champion was enduring a roasting on the course and on social media - with world no3 Brooks Koepka offering to donate $100,000 if Brady could manage to make par on the front nine.

His effort shortly after was stunning - sinking a birdie with a shot from 100 yards away. Even ripping his trousers as he bent down to retrieve his ball from the hole couldn't take the gloss of it.

It inspired Brady and Mickelson to rally on the back nine, reducing the deficit to a single shot.

Woods and Manning survived the fightback - and vicious rain late on - to hold on however with Woods getting some revenge on old rival Mickelson - who got the win when the two first faced off in November 2018.
