Mickelson wants Jordan and Curry to attend the third round of The Match

Phil Mickelson has just suggested inviting two basketball legends Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry to join his next match against Tiger Woods.

“I think Jordan , Curry at basketball, or Tony Romo and Patrick Mahomes of football are bright faces. They are all good golfers, outstanding talent and great personalities,” Mickelson told Los Angeles . Times on May 27 when asked about the desired script for The Match season three.

Jordan is famous in the American golf world for his passion, money bets like “falling leaves” on the course. Even the living legend of this basketball even owns a golf course in Florida and named The Grove XXIII with the Roman numeral as his shirt number for the old Chicago Bulls team.

The presence of Jordan and Curry in The Match, if realized, will help the rivalry between Mickelson and Woods become more attractive in the eyes of the public.

Curry is a contemporary star of the Golden State Warriors. He is also a familiar face in the pro-am content of professional golf tournaments on the PGA Tour. Even with a handicap of 5, Curry competed in the event of the second division arena Korn Ferry Tour in 2017.

Romo has a handicap of 0.3, having played the official PGA Tour in March 2020, while Mahomes has a handicap of 14.

“Or maybe we can invite someone who loves golf, likes to fight but is full of entertainment from the movie industry like Larry David and Bill Murray. Or should Tiger and I choose younger teammates for a top match? I think This is market potential but we must have famous personalities,” Mickelson added about another option.

The second season of The Match was held at Medalist Stadium in Florida on May 24. At that time, Mickelson – Tom Brady lost to Woods – Peyton Manning with a score of 1 up in hole 18. The two guests in the recent Medalist match are considered the great center-forward pair of American football. Manning has a handicap of 4, and Brady is at 8.

The result of the event was 20 million USD for relief activities for Covid 19 victims in the US and 5.8 million live viewers on Turner Media’s exclusive channels. It has met the entertainment needs of the public while the epidemic is still raging in this country. And this is the core value that Mickelson wants to strengthen in the future.

From home, American fans can immerse themselves in the fierce but fun atmosphere on Medalist Stadium. They can both watch exciting football matches and listen to jokes about each other on the field.

Brady did not play well in the early holes. But from the fairway hole 7, he ecstatically put the ball into the target with the result that the seam of his pants was ripped at the buttocks.

The fun was also aroused by the humorous host of Justin Thomas – owner of 12 PGA Tour trophies including the 2017 major championship.

“Thomas showed off his wit, and added many positive points to the event. I don’t know what’s specific in the upcoming session, but we need to pair up correctly, so it continues to be a rich match.” entertaining as just now. Peyton and Tom have completed this task excellently. And now it is our challenge to organize a new reunion,” Mickelson said about the key to the success of the future The Match. .

In the first The Match , Mickelson beat Woods after 22 holes and won $9 million at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas. Despite attracting a large number of on-the-ground fans, the first season was not highly appreciated because of its technical bias, in addition to technical problems that forced Turner Media to refund and open a free portal for the program, which was originally broadcast as a pay-per-view model.
