Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning chat during the 2018 Memorial Tournament pro-am, the two will team up to take on Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady in a charity match for COVID-19 relief AFP/Matt SULLIVANMIAMI: Tiger Woods couldn't resist a little last-minute needling before Sunday's charity showdown with Phil Mickelson, with a deadpan prediction that he and partner Peyton Manning would dominate.

Reigning Masters champion Woods will team with Manning, a superstar NFL quarterback who retired in 2016 after winning his second Super Bowl title. The 18-hole match will include nine holes of four-ball and nine holes of modified alternate shot, with on-course challenges for charitable funds in addition to the $10 million pledged.With the US PGA Tour and European Tour on hiatus amid the coronavirus pandemic, the made-for-TV event will be a welcome glimpse of live sports action, and the long rivalries among the players promise a little intensity even if it's only a battle for bragging rights.

For the legion of Woods-watchers around the globe, it will be a chance to see just how far the 44-year-old's fitness has come since he lurched to a 68th-place finish at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles in February.
