News

“The Last Dance” had a good run. “The Match” part two now has the sports world’s full attention.

Just kidding. We’re still very excited for episode three of the Chicago Bulls documentary (the Rodman episode!), but the announcement of an exhibition match featuring Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning certainly has sports fans as riled up as they were on Sunday night. The real winner of this announcement are sports gamblers, who’ve been wagering on events that don’t even belong on ESPN: The Ocho during the pandemic.

Yes, you will be able to bet on “The Match: Champions for Charity,” which will air live on TNT in late May.
