After weeks of trash talk between Tom Brady, Phil Mickelson, Aaron Rodgers and Bryson DeChambeau, the two pairs are finally facing off in The Match 4. Brady and Mickelson will team up in hopes of avenging their loss to Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning in The Match 2, which occurred in early 2020.
Meanwhile, DeChambeau and Rodgers will each look to earn a win in their first appearance in The Match. Each player has been dealing with drama over the last few weeks. Rodgers is embroiled in a long-term holdout from Packers camp after an MVP campaign while DeChambeau parted with his caddie Tim Tucker ahead of last weekend’s Rocket Mortgage Classic. DeChambeau failed to make the cut after the change.
Despite that, DeChambeau and Rodgers are still favored to win The Match while Mickelson’s side is listed as the underdog in the event once again. That hasn’t stopped him from winning in the past, as he beat Woods in the first iteration of the event in 2018 despite Woods being heavily favored.
Either side could win the 18-hole, match-play contest that will feature a modified alternate shot format on each hole. It’s just a matter of which side can adjust to the unique conditions of the Moonlight Basin course, which is at a 7,500-foot altitude and features numerous tee shots that are significantly downhill. That includes the course’s signature hole, a 777-foot Par-5 hole where the tee is a couple hundred yards above the fairway.

4:28 p.m. — Before The Match starts, the golfers and commentators for the event took part in a range battle event. Every golfer was trying to hit a golf cart located on the driving range. Charles Barkley chirped the cart driver after the driver called out Barkley’s notoriously awkward golf swing.
4:21 p.m. — There has been plenty of trash talk from all parties involved in The Match this week, but Brady’s did at Rodgers’ rift with the Packers may be one of the best moments of all.
4:18 p.m. — Apparently, it is windy at Moonlight Basin today. Mickelson tweeted a video of him and Brady getting some warmup shots in, and you can barely hear Mickelson over the sound of the wind.
