Heavyweigh­t pair ready for rematch

-

GOLF legends Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are gearing up for a rematch of their 2018 head-to-head, this time in aid of charity.

The pair will face each other in Florida today along with NFL stars Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in another step towards the return of live sport. Mickelson beat Woods in a $13 million showdown in

November 2018 in a one-off round designed for pay-perview television, though it struggled to capture the imaginatio­n of the golfing world and technical issues meant it was ultimately available to watch for free.

This time the players and Warner Media have together put up $15 million for COVID-19 relief efforts.
