Last week, Caesars Sportsbook opened Manning and Woods as the favorites. They were installed with odds of -175 at Caesers, while Brady and Mickelson began with odds of +150.
How long has the event been in the works?
In November 2018, Woods and Mickelson famously squared off in “The Match,” a one-on-one battle with a $9 million winner-takes-all pot. Mickelson won “The Match,” but the pair had been considering a rematch for some time. An event with Brady and Manning had been in discussion for a few months and was configured as a charity match due to the coronavirus.
Who are their shoe sponsors?
Woods is a longtime Nike athlete and has lately been lacing up in the Nike Tiger Woods TW71 Fast Fit (available online for $99, down from $150). Mickelson has deal with G/Fore and sports shoes from its Gallivanter line (prices range from $185 to $225) on the course. Meanwhile, Manning wore Reebok and Nike shoes throughout his NFL career before calling it quits. And Brady, an Under Armour athlete, will likely sport one of the athletic giant’s styles.
