The Match - Tiger Woods/Peyton Manning v Phil Mickelson/Brady Preview

The Match: Champions For Charity will see four of sports biggest ever names meet at the Medalist Golf Club in the name of charity, as golf's greatest ever, Tiger Woods, is partnered with one of the all-time greats from the NFL in Peyton Manning. The duo will take on Phil Mickelson and the best to ever do it in American football, Tom Brady.

A $10m charitable donation has already been made, with additional fundraising to come from on-course challenges throughout the legendary showdown at the famous club.

The match will be an 18 hole match play and holes 1-9 will follow a Four-Ball format. To make things fair, the two NFL stars will be given three handicap strokes on the nine.

This will be the second time Woods and Mickelson have met in The Match, after the latter beat Woods in November 2018. Now, with 20 majors, 126 PGA Tour wins, and eight Super Bowl victories between the four, let's take a look ahead to this intriguing matchup on the golf course in Florida.

Woods and Manning are the favourites to win at odds of 4/9, despite Woods losing the first battle in The Match against Mickelson, whilst the duo are also 5/2 to win the first hole.

As far as amateurs go, Manning is fairly solid on the golf course. Of course, for former Indianapolis Colts quarterback is far from matching the professionals, but videos online have done the rounds lately, clearly showing the 6ft 5 footballer is not too shabby with the club.

On the other hand, Manning is, of course, partnered with unquestionably the greatest golfer of all-time. After years of struggles, Woods is coming off the back of a resurgent season where the American won his record-tying 82nd victory on the PGA Tour and his 15th major.

Now, across the betting odds, these two are the favourites, as they are priced at 1/1 to lead after nine holes, 5/4 to lead after six and 6/4 to lead after three.

Mickelson may come into this matchup with more confidence than Woods, however, having beat him in the first edition of The Match almost two years ago. That day, both golfers were tied after 18 holes and went into a playoff, where Mickelson won the fourth one and claimed victory.

Now, alongside the New England Patriots legend Brady, the golfing great may have his work cut out. The duo are currently priced as the underdogs at 7/4, after Woods enjoyed another glamourous year, whilst Mickelson won just one event from 20 in 2019.

At the same time, debates about Manning and Brady's golf abilities have continued with Manning receiving much more praise than his quarterback nemesis on the course. Now, Mickelson and Manning are 10/3 to take the first hole and 11/10 to lead first.

At the same time, the duo are 13/8 to lead after nine holes, 13/8 to lead after six holes and 7/4 to lead after three holes.

The Match will take place at the Medalist Golf Club in Florida, with action getting underway on Sunday, May 24. For UK viewers, sadly, there will be no broadcast as The Match: Champions For Charity is shown on TV in the USA only.

However, the action does start at 14:00 ET time, which translates to 19:00 in the UK, so there will be plenty of ways to follow the action online or listen in.
