[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] "A $10 million (12.2 billion KRW) donation."

This is the amount raised from 'The Match: Champions for Charity,' where the 'resurrected golf emperor' Tiger Woods and the 'veteran' Phil Mickelson (both from the USA) face off. On the 8th (Korean time), the Associated Press reported that Turner Sports, the organizer of the event, revealed details about the schedule and match format, stating that "they will donate $10 million of the proceeds to help overcome the COVID-19 pandemic."

The two players previously held the event 'Capital One’s The Match: Tiger vs. Phil' in November 2018 at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada. Mickelson won after a close battle that extended to the fourth hole of sudden death, taking home the entire $9 million prize. This year, NFL stars Peyton Manning and Tom Brady (both from the USA) will join. Woods and Manning will team up, as will Mickelson and Brady. Both Manning and Brady are amateur experts with a handicap of 8.

The event will take place on May 24th, during the Memorial Day weekend, at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida. This is effectively Woods’ home course, where he usually tunes his competitive shot skills. Mickelson also became a regular there after moving from San Diego, California to Jupiter, Florida earlier this year. The match format is a mix of four-ball and modified foursomes. For the first nine holes, players compete with their own balls and record the better score.

For the back nine holes, each player tees off, and the team selects the better-positioned ball, after which the two teammates alternate shots. As in November 2018, no spectators will be allowed. "This time, only essential personnel will be allowed on-site to strictly follow COVID-19 prevention guidelines," the organizers explained. The four players will wear microphones to communicate with the TV broadcast team during the match. The broadcast will be available via pay-per-view.
