It’s official — a made-for-TV rematch between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson will take place soon, officials from Turner Sports confirmed on Wednesday.
Woods and Mickelson met in a $9 million duel in the Las Vegas desert back in November 2018, but this time NFL quarterbacks Tom Brady and Peyton Manning will also be part of the fun.
The rematch will be called “The Match: Champions for Charity on TNT,”and will have all donations and fundraising to benefit COVID-19 relief.
As Golfweek reported earlier, Manning and Woods played together in the pro-am at the Memorial last year and would be a likely pair. That would put Brady, who recently joined Florida’s Seminole Golf Club, on a team with Mickelson.
According to a release from Turner Sports, Tournament organizers are working with state and local government and public health officials to ensure the event follows safety and health protocols.

The event will air be broadcast live on TNT instead of the pay-per-view format used last time the two met, but details on a specific date and venue have yet to be released.
Mickelson hauled away the $9 million by defeating Woods on the 22nd hole in the November match.
