The carts are freshly painted, primed, sterilized (for the times) and fully charged. If only they were racing might I be more excited for The Match 2, aka Champions For Charity, featuring Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning taking on Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady.
(TNT has the coverage starting at 3 pm ET and the goal is to raise a minimum of $10 million.)
So yes, a lot will be raised for charity and while the Medalist is no Seminole, the fun factor of two legendary athletes willing to subject themselves to the cruelty of golf in front of millions is way more appealing than last Sunday’s poorly-conceived team Skins Game pancake.
Dylan Dethier has the prop bets in case the early pick 4 at Charles Town is your thing. Sadly, no bets are offered on who wears the worst dad shorts, though Tiger would open as an early -400 favorite based on the above practice round photo.
The four players will each take a cart, leading to this dreadful optic in a time of pandemic:
The forecast, as of Saturday, was not great. But fingers crossed they will get the match in. With Monday beings Memorial Day, it’s apparently an option if storms materialize.
