Curry, Barkley to replace Tiger, Brady in 3rd edition of The Match
Steph Curry and Charles Barkley will replace Tiger Woods and Tom Brady in the third edition of The Match, the PGA Tour announced Monday.
Phil Mickelson will be the only PGA Tour pro in the foursome with Peyton Manning - who won alongside Tiger in the second match that took place on May 24 - returning to round out the group.
Mickelson and Barkley will team up to take on Curry and Manning at Stone Canyon Golf Club in Arizona. The competition format will be modified alternate shot match play.
Curry made it known he wanted to play in the next match while watching the previous competition that raised $20 million for COVID-19 relief efforts.

"The Match 3: Champions for Change" will take place Nov. 27 over Thanksgiving weekend, the same day the inaugural match between Woods and Mickelson took place in 2018.
The made-for-TV event will be played to raise money for charity.
