Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson reportedly in negotiations for $10M match
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are in negotiations to play a winner-take-all match for $10-million, according to a report Friday by golf.com.
There have been murmurings of some sort of exhibition between the two golfers going back to the Players Championship, where they were grouped for the first two rounds and where Mickelson suggested they skip "the ancillary stuff of a tournament and just go head-to-head and just have kind of a high-stakes, winner-take-all match.''
When presented later with the idea, Woods didn't shoot it down.
"I'm definitely not against that," he said then. "We'll play for whatever makes him uncomfortable.''
