Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are set to face off against each other in a $9 million match-play event at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas on Thanksgiving weekend. That one-on-one contest between two of the biggest names in golf will be aired by Turner Sports through its B/R Live pay streaming service as well as DirecTV and AT&T U-Verse.
Now that AT&T has acquired Time Warner (and rebranded the company WarnerMedia), the media giant will use several of its networks to provide comprehensive coverage of the event. In addition to the live coverage on Turner’s young OTT platform, HBO Sports and TNT will provide linear programming in advance of the golf event while Bleacher Report and House of Highlights will offer behind-the-scenes video clips and highlights.
