Phil Mickelson beats Tiger Wood in The Match to win $9million: Reaction
Phil Mickelson beat Tiger Woods on the 22nd hole of The Match at Shadow Creek on the outskirts of Las Vegas to win $9million.
The event was seen by some as a chance for two of the world’s greatest ever players to go head to head over a dramatic 18 holes for a proper prize.
Others thought that this was an ego polishing event with two of the richest sportsmen in the world having the opportunity to win much more money.
