With professional golf tours on their annual holiday hiatus, it’s time for yet another made-for-TV match.
Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will square off against Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas on Saturday, Dec. 10, at 6 p.m. ET under the lights at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. McIlroy, Spieth and Thomas will make their Match debut, while Woods will make his third appearance.
Even though the first edition of The Match – Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson in November 2018 in Las Vegas – didn’t quite live up to the hype, it proved there was a market for the competition. Over the years the matches have grown into charitable causes benefitting COVID-19 relief and HBCU’s while still providing golf fans a unique product outside of 72-hole stroke-play tournaments.
So, which one has been the best?
