How to Watch 'The Match': Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy vs. Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas
In just a matter of days, Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will face Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth in the seventh iteration of Capital One’s “The Match.” The 12-hole competition will benefit Hurricane Ian relief efforts and is set to be played at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10, at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Fla.
Aside from this installation of “The Match” featuring four of the world’s greatest golfers, there is another new element that will make the viewing experience especially captivating for fans. This “Match” will take place at night, under floodlights, live on prime-time TV.
“I'm sure it will be very entertaining,” Justin Thomas said at last week’s Hero World Challenge. “It's just going to be fun for us. Even if it wasn't an event on TV, us four would have a blast going out and playing 12 holes together, let alone under the lights, on what sounds like a really cool golf course. It will be a blast.”
Here are all the details you need to watch “The Match," where Woods will make his first competitive appearance since the Open Championship in July.
