Will Tiger and Peyton dominate for 18 holes, or will Mickelson and Brady make a late drive down the stretch? What we do know is that this time around the match will be different as it will follow COVID restrictions. This is what we know so far.

The Gridiron Greats and Legends of the Fairway
What adds to the excitement of this match is the trash talk between these sports icons. Known for his banter on the green, Peyton Manning will have some fun soundbites to dish out. Tiger and Peyton have played together before in The Memorial Tournament at the Wells Fargo Championship and other events. Tiger and Peyton will be looking to come out victorious. Their foils Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady will be looking to counter their competition by bringing their A-game. Phil Mickelson won the previous installment of The Match, so he’ll be looking to repeat as champion with Tom Brady.
