What we all had hoped for a few weeks ago is now looking like it’s going to happen – Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are going to square off again in special match and joining them will be Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.
Heck. Yes.
This will be a two-on-two match with a report from Darren Rovell saying Tiger and Peyton will face Phil and Brady. I’d prefer to have the two GOATs – Tiger and Brady – teamed up, but whatever, I’m just so happy this seems to be happening.
No date or course have been named for this event but it will happen sometime in May and air on TNT. All proceeds and donations will go to help COVID-19 relief funds.
Here are more details from Rovell’s report:
A Turner Sports spokesperson confirmed to The Action Network the match will be aired live on TNT with surrounding content on Bleacher Report. It’s unclear the exact date, but rumored dates are May 15 and May 24. All proceeds from the event will go to COVID-19 relief.
The matchup is believed to be Tiger and Peyton, who are both Nike spokesmen, against Phil and Brady. It will be called “The Match: Champions for Charity,” according to sources.
A PGA TOUR official told The Action Network’s Jason Sobel that Tiger and Phil would need to receive a “release form for them to play a televised or streamed event in the U.S.”
A TOUR official told Sobel, “We are still in discussions on a number of items, including ensuring the health and safety for all involved with the event.”
Phil is ready for it:
