There is no Tiger Woods for the third edition of “The Match,” but there is Barkley, Charles Barkley.
Arguably the greatest player in the game’s history will give way to one of the worst – but in a made-for-TV event, the entertainment value greatly increased.
Barkley will team up with Phil Mickelson to face Stephen Curry and Peyton Manning in “The Match: Champions for Change.” The event takes place Friday, Nov. 27 at Stone Canyon Golf Club in Oro Valley, Arizona.
The event will benefit historically Black colleges and universities – Curry helped re-establish the golf teams at Howard University – and will spotlight other diversity initiatives.
