It’s time to go in Belleair, Florida.
The latest edition of The Match series will feature four of the biggest names in golf, including the GOAT. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are taking on Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth in a 12-hole battle under the lights at Pelican Golf Club.
Woods is playing for the first time since The Open at St. Andrews while his partner hasn’t played stateside since claiming world No. 1 with a win at the CJ Cup. On the DP World Tour, McIlroy claimed the season-long points race last month.
Thomas finished fifth at the Hero World Challenge last week while Spieth grabbed 15th.
McIlroy, Thomas and Spieth are all making their Match debuts (Thomas was an on-course reporter during the second installment).
