Previous face off of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson

Though Woods and Mickelson don’t compete against each other anymore, a decade ago fans witnessed their multiple face-offs. They went against each other at the 2001 Masters where Woods won. Then they were paired at the 2004 Ryder Cup for two matches which they lost. They were against each other on many occasions after that like Ford Championship, Deutsche Band Championship, and others. Their last faceoff happened in 2018 at ‘The Match’ where Mickelson won over Woods.

Both the players have sufficient reasons to claim the title of being the greatest. Woods is only leading at one place with 15 majors under his belt while Mickelson has 6 majors which is the second most for anyone. The question of who is the best or most impactful might be up for debate but what is not up for debate is that both players have made incredible contributions to the sport.
