‘The Match’ did not just bring PGA pros, Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas, and Jordan Spieth together. But it also made many golfers walk down memory lane of their match experience. However, some golfers preferred to have fun with the ordeals of golf. And Woods did not leave the opportunity for a fun banter for Charles Barkley.

Barkley is an American former professional basketball player. However, currently, he works as a television analyst. He has had an interest in golf and has played the sport many times. One of his most memorable golf events was the third edition of ‘The Match’ in November 2020. He paired up with Phil Mickelson and won the match. The duo played against Stephen Curry and Peyton Manning at Stone Canyon Golf Club. It was a memorable victory for Barkley. 

LIV Golf pro, Mickelson always wanted to be a golf coach, and guiding Barkley proved his worth. The basketball player was a seasoned golf straggler; however, the LIV golfer transformed him into a more capable partner. They defeated Stephen Curry and Peyton Manning in Capital One’s ‘The Match’: Champions for Change. They dropped the opening hole at the match. However, once they took charge, they finished the competition with a modified alternate shot victory of 4 and 3 on the 15th hole.

Why did Tiger Woods take a jab at Charles Barkley?

The basketball star, Barkley, was never excellent with golf swings; the former number-one golfer noted it. TWLEGION posted a pun-intended conversation between a pro golfer and a pro basketball player. It read, “These greens look amazing. I cannot wait to play this course tomorrow. -Barkley. Tiger pipes in. You might break the course record on the first 9 holes.” It showed a friendly conversation where Woods threw a friendly banter towards Barkley.

We know the major championship for his trash-talking abilities; however, this time, it was a funny dig. The weak swings from Barkley made Woods talk about the pun-intended record-breaking at the nine holes. Because the Basketball pro needs more skills to make a swing record, however, we cannot forget how good he was in the third edition of the match. After all, he was getting guidance from one of the finest golfers, Mickelson.
