The $9 million charity tournament organized by Woods and Mickelson ends on a sour note.
The costliest match in history is scheduled to occur on November 23 at Shadow Creek golf course situated in the Sin City of Las Vegas (USA), featuring Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.
The Masters tournament typically has a total value that can reach tens of millions of dollars.
Approximately 50 elite professional golfers from around the globe, as well as all Masters champions of the preceding season, convene annually for this tournament.
At a staggering total prize worth of 9 million USD, this tournament stands as the most valuable one for the year. (There are four prizes per season.)
Although a tournament valued at 9 million USD is an immense sum, golf enthusiasts will soon witness a match of commensurate value featuring two American superstars – Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.
The Shadow Creek golf course in Sin City Las Vegas (USA) will be the venue for this match scheduled on November 23.
Especially, tickets are not sold by the organizers; instead, they grant access to sponsors and VIP guests through open doors.
Even if fans cannot watch the match in person, they can still tune in online through television services. The cost of each viewing has not been determined yet. Prior to watching the match, viewers will have a chance to see highlights from Woods and Mickelson’s journey with HBO Sports’ “24/7” movie series.
This challenge competition marks the golf industry’s inaugural venture into such an event. The organizers aim to entice money from television rights, hence the substantial grand prize on offer. Tiger Woods exudes confidence stating that: “Audiences can now watch a match in Pay-per-view style – a format previously exclusive to boxing and MMA; it is time for them to pay up and enjoy watching golf matches.”
This match is worth 9 million dollars, but it’s often compared to one that has a total value of over 2 billion dollars. This comparison stems from the fact that Tiger Woods (also known as “Wooden Tiger”) has earned $1.5 billion in prize money throughout his career and Phil Mickelson is also incredibly wealthy with assets totaling $665 million according to Forbes.
