'The Match 2’ between Woods/Manning and Mickelson/Brady raises $20M for COVID-19 relief

The second head-to-head match between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson took place over the weekend and it was a huge success.

This time, the two golfers were joined by two of the best quarterbacks to ever play in the NFL in Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.


With Manning on his team, Woods got revenge for his loss to Mickelson in a match 18 months ago and won on the 18th hole.

Woods and Manning’s one-up victory was far from the biggest story of the day, however, as the event was all about raising money for COVID-19 relief and the four men did just that.

Thanks to some help from friends and the public watching at home, $20 million was raised for COVID-19 relief on Sunday.


On the course, it was the tale of two nines.

Brady struggled out of the gate and he was being heckled for his performance online and even by the announcer, as notoriously average golfer Charles Barkley was telling Brady he wanted to play him in a match.

That all changed when Brady drained an approach shot from around 150 yards out on the eighth hole, securing his first birdie of the match and a $100,000 charity donation from Brooks Koepka.


Woods and Manning took a three-up lead into the back nine but Brady seemed to find his game a little bit and he and Mickeson crawled back over the last few holes.

Mickelson and Brady needed to win the final hole to force a playoff, but a beautiful lag putt from Woods to within a foot clinched the match for him and Manning.
