Sunday’s broadcast of The Match — a charity golf event with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning — showcased the game’s personalities in ways we don’t typically see in a golf broadcast.
Every competitor was mic’d up, and the conversations extended to those in the booth (like Charles Barkley). It allowed golf fans to feel like they’re a part of the banter, which made the Phil-Tiger component especially entertaining.
We now know exactly how Tiger feels about Phil’s ridiculously sculpted calves.
Early in The Match, Tiger and Phil were set for a $1.5 million long-drive challenge. And just before he teed off, Phil made a remark about “activating” his calves. You could see Tiger’s eyeroll through the screen.
"This is what I have to listen to every time we play"
Tiger's sick of hearing about Phil's calves 😂

Tiger said after the comment:
“Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is what I have to listen to every time we play.”
Can we have more of this in regular tournaments please? Mic everything up. I digress.
But really, Tiger, have you seen Phil’s calves?!
If the PGA Championship wants us to make our picks based strictly off the muscularity of players' calves, then goddammit that's what I'll do pic.twitter.com/nfe41ob0p0

I’d remind my golf buddies about my calves too if I were Phil.
But hey, the calves weren’t enough to top Tiger in the challenge. Woods was the one to earn $1.5 million for charity.
