Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson teed it up once again on Sunday to settle their rivalry and offered a glimpse of what golf could be like post-coronavirus to boot.

The two great rivals squared off again for a rematch of their first one-on-one, winner-takes-all contest, won by Mickelson, back in 2018.

This time, rather than line their own pockets, The Match II was for charity with all proceeds going to help with Covid-19 relief efforts. What’s more they brought some friends along for the ride.
