Woods vs Mickelson "The Battleground is Medalist"... Four-Ball or Foursome?
Woods-Manning and Mickelson-Brady 2v2 Match Expected May 24 at "Woods Home Course" in Florida, USA
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist] "Medalist Golf Club in Hervey Sound, Florida, USA."
This is the battleground for "The Match: Champions for Charity," where the "Returned Golf Emperor" Tiger Woods and veteran Phil Mickelson (both from the USA) face off. USA Today reported on the 27th (Korean time) that "after gathering various information, it is expected to be held at Medalist on May 24 during the Memorial Day holiday." NFL stars Peyton Manning and Tom Brady (both from the USA) will join in for a 2-on-2 match.
It is interesting that Medalist is essentially Woods' home course. It is where he usually tunes his real-game shot sense. It is a high-end private club designed by Greg Norman (Australia). Despite the recent spread of COVID-19 in the US, rounds for members are still allowed. Mickelson also became a regular as soon as he moved from San Diego, California to Jupiter, Florida earlier this year. Mickelson's new home is also close to the golf course.
Woods and Mickelson previously held the "Capital One’s The Match: Tiger vs Phil" event at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA in November 2018. The winner took all of the $9 million prize money, which drew even more spotlight. Mickelson won after a close match that went to the fourth hole of overtime. This time, the event is co-hosted by AT&T WarnerMedia and the PGA Tour. It will be broadcast on Turner Sports’ TNT channel or one of WarnerMedia’s channels via a pay-per-view system.

Woods teams up with Manning, and Brady pairs with Mickelson. Both Manning and Brady are amateur experts with a handicap of 8. It is highly likely they will compete in formats such as four-ball (each player plays their own ball and the better score counts) or foursomes (two players alternate shots with one ball). Only the minimum essential personnel will be present at the venue, so there will be no violation of COVID-19 prevention guidelines. All tournament proceeds will be donated as COVID-19 relief funds.
