Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson Make $200K Side Bet, Talk Trash in Presser

Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson held a press conference Tuesday to hype Capital One's The Match, their post-Thanksgiving head-to-head battle for $9 million, which will take place Friday at 3 p.m. ET from Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas.

Although there was plenty of good-natured trash talking during Tuesday's meeting with the golf media, the most notable quote came from Mickelson on the topic of Woods' legacy if he decided to retire without playing another PGA Tour round.

"Greatest of all time," Lefty replied, per Daniel Rapaport of Sports Illustrated.
