The 5-time Major champion had previously said the Tiger Woods vs Phil Mickelson rematch could include other athletes, and rumours suggest that NFL legends Tom Brady and Peyton Manning could team up with the two golfers. While there is no development yet on that regard, it would be interesting to see how the re-match pans out amidst the Coronavirus pandemic. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson had competed in a made-for-TV event 'The Match' in Las Vegas in 2018. Mickelson defeated Woods on the fourth hole of sudden death to pocket the $9 million (£7 million) prize money. The duo also had two side bets worth $800,000 (£645,000) on the table, which were later donated to charity. 'The Match' was intended to be a pay-per-view special but was eventually streamed online for free due to technical difficulties.
