The Thanksgiving holiday is typically associated with Football in the US, but this year legendary golfers Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have something special planned.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson will go head to head in a first of its kind match play event today (Friday, November 23).
The pay-per-view event will be hosted by the Shadow Creek Gold Course in Las Vegas, Nevada and “The Match” is scheduled to begin at 12pm local time (3pm ET, 8pm GMT).
However, golf fans may want to tune in an hour earlier as Turner Sports will be hosting a one-hour pre-match show featuring Charles Barkley and Pat Perez alongside actor Samuel L. Jackson.
The two golf legends will go head-to-head in a first of its kind 18-hole match play event in Las Vegas at the exclusive Shadow Creek golf course to see who will take home the glory as well as a $9 million cash prize. And you can live stream Woods vs Mickelson from anywhere with this handy guide.
The format of the event, dubbed “The Match”, will be matchplay, which awards a point to a golfer when they win a hole. However, Woods and Mickelson will also be able to challenge each other to additional side bets in the range of $10,000 to $50,000 such as longest drive or closest-to-the-pin at various points throughout the match. In fact, Mickelson already baited Woods into accepting a $200,000 bet that he will birdie the opening hole.
