Woods and three other golf stars are set to play in ‘The Match’
Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are ready to compete against Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth in the upcoming iteration of “The Match”. The tournament is scheduled to be held on Dec. 10 at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. The 12-hole match will begin around 7 p.m. under the lights.
It is going to be the third time that Tiger Woods will be playing in “The Match”. The golf legend was part of the inaugural event back in 2018 against Phil Mickelson. And he later returned in 2020 teaming up with Peyton Manning against Mickelson and Tom Brady during the pandemic. However, it is going to be the first time for McIlroy, Thomas, and Spieth to participate in the event. Thomas has been associated with “The Match” before since he worked as the commentator in the 2020 charity event.
