The Match: Champions for Charity – Odds and best bet

Odds provided by BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday, May 9 at 9 a.m. ET.

Woods/Manning: -200 vs. Mickelson/Brady: +150

Woods and Manning open as fairly heavy favorites in the charity exhibition. Woods, the defending Masters champion, sits 16th in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings amid the PGA Tour’s pause due to the pandemic. Mickelson has slipped all the way to 222nd in the world ranking after missing the cut in four of his last six professional events.

Manning also holds an edge over Brady, playing to a handicap of 3.5 to Brady’s 8.

While Mickelson bested Woods one-on-one after four playoff holes the last time around in 2018 at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas, NV, the favorites are the ones to back at Medalist. Woods is one of many PGA Tour pros who calls it his home course, and he’s pairing up with the better of the two amateurs.

Back WOODS/MANNING at -200. A $10 bet will return a profit of $5 with a win. There are sure to be more prop bets released in the build-up to the event, and we at SportsbookWire will have you covered.

How to watch Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson Part II and what you need to know

Teeing up The Match: Champions for Charity with Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning taking on Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady.

[jwplayer 5Iys7M19]

The worlds of professional golf and football will join forces Sunday, May 24, at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Fla., as Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning team up to battle Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady in The Match: Champions for Charity.

The event is being held to raise money for the COVID-19 pandemic, while the PGA Tour remains on hiatus until the currently scheduled return date of June 11 for the Charles Schwab Challenge. WarnerMedia and the golfers have pledged a donation of $10 million to COVID-19 relief.

Below, we break down all we know about The Match Part II with key details on the course, participants and how to watch.

The Match Part II: Medalist Golf Club

Woods is one of the many PGA Tour pros who call Medalist their home course. The private club measures 7,157 yards and plays to a par of 72.

The course will be carefully prepared under the watch of state and local government and public health officials to ensure the health and safety of all involved.

The Match Part II: Format

The teams of two, featuring two Hall of Fame golfers and two future Hall of Fame NFL quarterbacks, will compete in a unique match play event. The first nine holes will see them follow a Four-Ball (Best Ball) format before switching to a modified alternate shot format for the closing nine.

All four golfers will tee off on each hole on the back nine. They’ll choose the best tee shot of the twosome and alternate shots the rest of the way in.

The format is a sure way to engage viewers and sports bettors alike, with in-play betting widely expected to be a big draw to the event during the international sports lull. There’s expected to be a broad range of on-course competitions between the golfers and teams to raise more money for the COVID-19 charities.

The Match Part II: How to watch

The broadcast will be carried by TNT, TBS, truTV and HLN and will begin at 3 p.m. ET Sunday, May 24. The Bleacher Report app will carry exclusive pre-match coverage.

The Match Part II: The participants

Tiger currently ranks 16th in the Golfweek/Sagarin world rankings. He last finished 68th at The Genesis Invitational in mid-February.

Mickelson has fallen all the way to 222nd in the Golfweek rankings. He missed the cut at both The Genesis Invitational and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. His last win was at the 2019 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

Manning and Brady play to handicaps of 3.5 and 8, respectively.
