Report: Tiger vs. Phil Rematch Benefitting Coronavirus Relief Effort Is A Go
- Updated: April 1, 2020
Tiger vs Phil 2.0 has been confirmed and this time they are bringing friends.
According to a CNBC report, Woods and Mickelson will be joined by NFL quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in a match to benefit coronavirus relief efforts.
The match is still being finalized, but the event would likely happen in May in Florida and be broadcast on live on TNT, or elsewhere in the AT&T WarnerMedia Company. At this point, pay-per-view is unlikely, thank goodness.
Phil hinted this might be a possibility on social media, but he says a lot of things on Twitter. However, this appears legit.

The match would be held at an undisclosed location without fans and feature a small production crew to film. Each individual would also obey the CDC social-distancing guidelines.
By the looks of things right now, the teams would be Tiger-Manning vs Phil-Brady.
According to the source, the plan is to feature stars throughout the PGA, NFL, and NBA. That would include Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, who currently serves as an NBA on TNT studio analyst, for off-site guest commentary.
With no live sports on TV, the world is desperate for some action.
What better way is there to provide some much-needed entertainment between a couple of sports legends mic’d up needling each other on the golf course?!
We are fortunate that golf is one of the few sports, that if done correctly and in accordance with health guidelines, can still be played during these unprecedented times.
Being outside in the fresh air, getting exercise while keeping a safe social-distance from each other is something we can all benefit from – as long as we are smart about it.
