The Match will be a sort of rematch between Brady and Rodgers from this past year’s NFC Championship Game. Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers upset the Green Bay Packers to reach the Super Bowl, where they would top the Kansas City Chiefs to claim their second Super Bowl title.
As for Phil Mickelson, he made it clear on Twitter that he has “unfinished business” after losing The Match to longtime friend and rival Tiger Woods last year. Coming off his big win at the PGA Championship, he’s more confident and eager to keep golfing than ever.
Who do you have winning The Match this year?
