Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson might be calling an audible — Omaha? — as part of a potential Tiger vs. Phil part two.
Mickelson tweeted Sunday night that he was “working on” another televised match with Woods, but the rematch could now include Tom Brady and Peyton Manning as their partners, according to a report.
“Hearing Tiger v Phil II might indeed be happening as a PPV event but that the caveat is that each will have a partner,” golf journalist Robert Lusetich tweeted Monday. “Two names being mentioned? Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.”
Mickelson edged Woods in November of 2018 in the original PPV event dubbed, “The Match: Tiger vs. Phil,” needing four playoff holes to win the $9 million prize. There was also $800,000 won in side bets that were later donated to charity.
Adding in Brady and Manning would only add more intrigue and eyeballs to the spectacle, especially at a time when the whole sports world is shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Manning is retired, and while Brady just shocked the NFL by signing with the Buccaneers after 20 years with the Patriots, offseason programs have been delayed by COVID-19, so he could have some extra time on his hands. Both Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks have previously played in pro-ams.
Brady has also paired up with Mickelson in the past. In 2018, the duo beat Rickie Fowler and investment banker Jimmy Dunne III, with Brady reportedly sinking the winning putt on the 18th hole.
