- Mickelson: ‘Bet you think this is the easiest $9m you will make’
- Earlier in day, Woods said he thought he ‘was done’ in 2017
Tiger Woods confirmed on Wednesday that he will face Phil Mickelson in a high-stakes exhibition match in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving weekend.
No other details were provided, but ESPN reported earlier this month the one-on-one showdown – dubbed simply ‘The Match – will take place on either Friday (23 November) or Saturday (24 November) at Shadow Creek Golf Course with a purse to be determined. Initial reports by Golf.com in July indicated it would be for a “winner-take-all” sum of $10m, although Mickelson referenced a purse of $9m on Wednesday.
