Tiger & Rory vs Jordan & JT, The Match (No LIV talk ; )

[MtlJeff]

12 holes is an abomination! Everyone who knows MtlJeff knows i loathe abbreviated events!

[aenemated]

Though I reckon he's gonna be pretty busy with the new kiddo for a bit.

Is paragraph 9:

 

“Proceeds will be generously donated to The Human Fund. Money for People”

This one (Golf Digest.com)?  It has six paragraphs?  Maybe there is some different content based on location.

 

Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth to play in latest iteration of 'The Match' | Golf News and Tour Information | GolfDigest.com

 

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will face Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth in the latest iteration of “The Match," sources have told Golf Digest. The news was first reported by The Fried Egg.

 

The four superstars committed to the exhibition series, which will be held for the seventh time and second in 2022 after a duel between NFL quarterbacks was contested in June. The Match will be held Dec. 10 at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida. It is expected to start at 7 p.m. under the lights, with the match going 12 holes.

 

This will be Woods’ third appearance in “The Match,” participating in the inaugural event against Phil Mickelson in November of 2018 and returning in 2020 to team up with Peyton Manning to take down Mickelson and Tom Brady in a charity challenge in the nascent days of the pandemic. This will be the first appearances for McIlroy, Spieth and Thomas, although Thomas did work at the aforementioned 2020 charity match as a commentator. Woods, McIlroy and Thomas were a part of a similar exhibition in September 2020 to show off Payne’s Valley Golf Club, the first public-access golf course designed by Woods’ TGR Design firm, as well as raise money for the Payne Family Foundation.

 

Woods made three official starts in 2022 in his return from a February 2021 car accident, making the cut at both the Masters and PGA Championship while possibly saying goodbye to the Old Course at the Open Championship. McIlroy won three times last season, highlighted by capturing the FedEx Cur, with Thomas grabbing the PGA Championship for the second time in his career with a playoff triumph at Southern Hills. Spieth won the RBC Heritage and is coming off a 5-0-0 record in an American victory at the Presidents Cup.

 

Woods and McIlroy recently partnered for a new venture called TGL and are launching a tech-infused team golf league in partnership with the PGA Tour, but that endeavor is not believed to have any relation with the exhibition.

 

“The Match” will again be broadcast by Turner Sports. The network has not confirmed details of the event.

The Human Fund is a Seinfeld reference.  IIRC it's the Festivus episode that is titled "The Strike" 

 

Festivus is the festival for the rest of us.  It's celebrated by dancing around an aluminum pole, airing grievances before dinner, and trying to take down the strongest man in attendance in a wrestling match.  The episode is so popular that a local brewery makes a seasonal brew dedicated to Festivus.

Great group for the match, hope it's entertaining. JT and Jordan should run away with this since Tiger is more of a handicap than asset for Rory. 

Think that is part of the , then come take the crown from us kinda thing 

 

Both Tiger and Rory have been much more successful with their body of work.... 

 

I would love to hear the trash talk behind the scenes

And...  "as well as raise money for the Payne Family Foundation."  a direct quote from the link posted by bscinstnct in his first post. 

 

 

 

 

To recap:

-In September 2020 there was another exhibition.

-The exhibition included Woods, McIlroy, and Thomas (but not Speith).

-The purpose of the exhibition was two-fold; to show off Payne's Valley Golf Club as well as raise money for the Payne Family Foundation.

 

Can someone please help clarify for me whether "The Match" with Woods & McIlroy vs. Thomas and Spieth will be raising money for the Payne Family Foundation too?

 

Thank you and best regards.

Kind of amazing that him and Keegan haven’t gotten in on one of these yet. Who knows, maybe that’d have too much loose cannon potential for network TV? I’d watch it though!

Hopefully this means Tiger will play the PNC! I assume they'll have carts in this as well. I'm curious if Tiger will tee it up at the HWC

Benefiting charity, but looks like it's not the Payne Family Foundation this time. Proceeds going towards hurricane relief which makes sense given the location of the event.

The previous six versions of The Match have raised nearly $33 million for charity and donated more than 27 million meals through Feeding America. Next month’s Match will benefit Hurricane Ian relief efforts.

Hard to believe this was nearly 20 years ago…

 

Sergios swing in the early 2000s was glorious….Ernie’s swing was an essay in tempo

Is there anyway to get tickets to this? I live in the area.

I like all four of these guys, they are good for the game.  Just think these things are a little bit silly.  Profitable business venture or not.

Then don't watch. Or post about it.

[Stevens24]

What is with the 12 hole concept? Just to fit a TV window I guess? 

[DatSliceDoe]

I'm watching this one live.

Thank you, and good to hear.

 

Now, I'm just wondering if there was actually anything I could have read at the time when @idriveimplied that I had missed something?  Or, was this an incorrect statement just like the statement that the current match would benefit the Payne Family Foundation?

What a great response👏👏👏.  I definitely won't watch but didn't know one is not allowed to post about something he or she finds silly.

 

Geez, a little joke about Rory got everyone's undies in a bunch.  Take a deep breath and relax.

Not really, I just asked if he could point me to it.  Was truly interested in whether any money was going to charity; hence why I asked for clarification about "The Human Fund."

No Uber Eats here but we do have a few Popeyes😋.  Regardless, I'll be continuing my research on The Human Fund😝.

You seem to care a lot about silly things.

[jordan2240]

Always interested to see how tiger is doing, so will likely watch at least some for that.  But previous versions featured some boring commentary and trash talk that was much less entertaining than anticipated, so hoping those aspects improve.
