Golf fans could be in for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the near future.
In what could be one of the more memorable golf events in history, legendary players Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are reportedly planning to go toe-to-toe in a winner take all matchup. According to Golf.com’s Alan Shipnuck, the two will be betting $10 million on themselves.
Can you imagine?! Two of the greatest golfers in the history of sports just going one-on-one for $10 million?! Just for the sake of it?!?!
The money wouldn’t exactly put a dent in each player’s wallet. Forbes recently gave woods a net worth of $740 million while Mickelson is sitting pretty at $365. But still, can you imagine what $10 million could buy you? To give you some perspective, Patrick Reed took home $1.98 million at this year’s Masters Tournament, according to SI Golf. So the winner may as well put on a golden jacket with the most expensive diamonds in the world plastered onto it.
Woods and Mickelson have seemingly warmed up to each other after butting heads in the past. Both players have recently found their game again after a few rough years on the fairways, and a victory in this kind of mini matchup would likely do wonders for the winner's confidence.
This has potential to be very, very entertaining.
