After nearly three years of sniping at each other, the two will go one-on-one in the fifth edition of The Match, to be played on Friday at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas. Here’s how you can watch.
The 12-hole, match-play event will begin at 4 p.m. ET Friday and will be shown on four channels — TNT, TBS, truTV and HLN. On the broadcast will be announcer Brian Anderson, on-course reporter Amanda Balionis and two previous players in the event — NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, who played in the third match, last November; and Phil Mickelson, who played in the first four matches, including the first, which was the last version to be played both one-on-one (Mickelson vs. Tiger Woods) and in Las Vegas (at Shadow Creek Golf Club).
In a matchup that has featured jab after jab, the Fight Capital of the World makes for a proper host.
