Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson face off ahead of $9m match

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson go head-to-head on 23 November at Shadow Creek Golf Club in Las Vegas in golf's first ever pay-per-view contest.

With 19 majors and 123 PGA Tour wins between them, the pair will compete for a winner-takes-all $9m prize pot as well as a number of side bets centring on the likes of longest drive and closest to the pin.

The pair will wear microphones throughout the match-play event and have promised to keep their paying audience entertained with a host of trash talk.
