Four of the biggest names in the National Football League are set to trade in their playbooks for greens books as Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers look to utilize their experience on the golf course against Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes. The quartet have been in the spotlight before on the golf course through various pro-ams, celebrity events and charity outings, but never has it been mixed with the trash talk and fireworks of an NFL Sunday.

The Match has had many different formats throughout the years, including an 18-hole match of Woods and Peyton Manning against Mickelson and Brady. Other athletes have been involved in later renditions of the event, including Charles Barkley, Stephen Curry and Rodgers.
