Four sports legends will tee it up on Sunday afternoon as Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning team up to face Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady at Medalist Golf Club in The Match: Champions for Charity.

The four icons of their respective sports will be competing in an 18-hole golf match to raise money to help battle the coronavirus pandemic.

Woods and Mickelson are obviously all-time greats on the course, while Manning and Brady -- who thrived on a different kind of turf -- have golf games that should be able to stand up against the tough test of Medalist beginning at 3 p.m.

Let's take a look at what this match means and what Sunday is going to look like as we get live golf for the second weekend in a row with 28 championships (majors and Super Bowls) represented in this unique foursome.

"[Producer] Bryan Zuriff and I were the ones who came up with the idea years ago and brought it to CAA and had it developed before we even brought it to Tiger," said Mickelson.

That's part of why Brady and Manning are involved (along with their star power) as caddies will not be present so all mic'd-up interaction will only be between the four golfers (well, two football players and two golfers).

If Manning, Brady and Woods all make par at No.

I'm excited about that because it gives us a genuine look at how skilled players like Woods and Mickelson are when faced with an adversity.

Woods and Manning are -190, while Mickelson and Brady are +170.

This is probably the right call as Manning is a bit better than Brady, and Woods -- when healthy.

When architect Bobby Weed renovated the Pete Dye-Greg Norman course, he put in place five "Tiger tees," which are used by the pros (like Woods) that play it as their home course. .

"Tiger thinks he has a huge advantage playing there because he was insistent that this event is played on his home course despite everyone else wanting to play it elsewhere.

It's his home course, but Tom and I are going to go down there and put it to them, and we'll make it that every time Tiger shows up at his home course, he'll have a bad memory.".

This makes the track 7,500 yards (although not for Manning and Brady) and an absolute beast coming home.

They have a good rapport, and he won't be afraid to take a few shots if, say, Mickelson can't find a fairway or Woods is legitimately upset with Manning

Pick: Mickelson and Brady +170

He covers golf, writes poetry about Rory McIlroy's swing, stays ready on Tiger watch and loves the Masters more than anyone you know...
