Fans worldwide are invited to a blockbuster Pay-Per-View event between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson that will run over Thanksgiving weekend. Presented by Capital One, the two iconic golfers will square off on Friday, November 23 at 3:00 PM ET. Both components (and their caddies) will be mic’d throughout the entire event, so perhaps some trash talking will be overheard.
Enhancements to the competition include Pre-Match coverage by Bleacher Report’s Adam Lefkoe; three-time PGA Tour winner Pat Perez with devout passionate golfers Samuel L. Jackson and Charles Barkley, among other special guests. Covering the action from above the course will be live state-of-the-art drones, aiding to capture every inch and angle of this match-play, winner-take-all (supposedly), $9 million event in Las Vegas.
