November 26, 2021. You’d better save the date because things just got more exciting! Phil Mickelson may not be playing this year’s edition of The Match, but he’s still found a way to be part of it.
Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka are all set to face-off in less than a few weeks. The long-standing feud between the two, which fizzled out at the recent Ryder Cup, gave more publicity to this event. The Capital One’s 12-hole The Match will play out at the Wynn Golf course in Las Vegas.

Mickelson has a lot of history with the event. In the inaugural edition in 2018, he defeated Tiger Woods to bag a heavy $9 million sum. Later, his team with Tom Brady lost to Woods and Peyton Manning, again winning the next year. In 2021, he lost to Bryson DeChambeau and Aaron Rodgers, along with Tom Brady.
Now, the fifth edition will be aired by Turner Sports, a division of WarnerMedia, who recently announced the commentary panel for the event.
