[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] It is the strong confidence of veteran Phil Mickelson (USA).

In an interview with Golfweek on the 20th (Korean time), he said, "I will win the head-to-head match against Tiger Woods (USA)," and added, "Woods may think he has an advantage because the tournament is held on his home course, but we will defeat them." He continued, "Although the tournament is held on Woods' home course, that cannot be an excuse," and boldly declared, "Woods will have bad memories on his home course."

Mickelson and Woods will clash on the 25th at the Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida, USA, under the title 'The Match: Champions for Charity.' In their first match in November 2018, Mickelson won after a fierce battle that went to the fourth hole of overtime, taking home the entire prize money of 9 million dollars (11 billion won). This year, NFL stars Peyton Manning and Tom Brady (both USA) join in for a 2-on-2 match. Mickelson-Brady and Woods-Manning are on the same teams.

A charitable fund of 10 million dollars (12.26 billion won) will be raised and used for COVID-19 relief. Objectively, Woods' team is favored. The foreign betting company William Hill has the odds for Woods-Manning's victory at 4/9, which is lower than Mickelson-Brady's 7/4. This means that if you bet 1 dollar, you receive 1.44 dollars if Woods-Manning win, and 2.75 dollars if Mickelson-Brady win.

However, the 'PGA Tour 49-time champion' Mickelson predicted an underdog rebellion. Mickelson, who said he has "played golf with Brady," evaluated, "There were several very impressive shots," and added, "His overall skills including putting, long shots, and short iron shots are good." He also said, "Although I haven't had a chance to participate in an official tournament recently, I have practiced a lot for two weeks," and added, "I played 36 holes each day for the past three days, so I expect to perform well."
