The Match is returning, and this year’s edition might be the most star-studded of them all. What began back in 2018 on Thanksgiving with Tiger Woods playing Phil Mickelson in a head-to-head round has endured for four years in many different versions. This one — with Woods, Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth playing — features 24 major championships and four of the best golfers of the last 30 years all on the course together.

This seventh edition of The Match will be played on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. ET at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, according to Golf Digest. Unless Woods plays in the Hero World Challenge, which he hosts, this will be his first public golf appearance since this summer’s Open Championship at St. Andrews. It will be his third appearance in The Match overall.

Woods has mostly been absent from the golf world since missing the cut at the Old Course in July, though he does have some playing opportunities coming up. Between this, his Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas and the PNC Championship, which he and his son have played in the last two years, we could see a lot of Tiger before the end of the year.

Though McIlroy and Thomas appeared in an exhibition with Woods at Big Cedar Lodge after the 2020 U.S. Open, neither they nor Spieth have appeared in any edition of The Match. Here’s a look at the first six iterations of The Match.

This version of The Match is expected to be 12 holes, which as the DeChambeau-Koepka match taught us, is the perfect length for a made-for-TV golf event like this one. As with all other versions of this exhibition event, it is expected to be broadcast by Turner Sports, likely on TNT.

Woods and McIlroy recently co-founded TMRW Sports, a company that is “harnessing technology to build progressive approaches in sports, media and entertainment” and announced their impressive investor list on Wednesday. This version of The Match is not thought to be affiliated with TMRW Sports, per Golf Digest.

John Daly is one of golf’s biggest personalities, and he will now be the subject of a feature film. Jonah Hill is set to play Daly in an upcoming biopic on the golfer, per a report from Above The Line.

Daly is known as the “bad boy of golf,” and he is a controversial figure in the sports world. According to Above The Line, the film will cover “the excesses, scandals, and athletic achievements” of Daly throughout his career.

Hill has shown versatility throughout his acting career, doing everything from comedies to dramas. Hill has earned Academy Award nominations for supporting roles in The Wolf of Wall Street and Moneyball. Most recently, Hill played a role in 2021’s Don’t Look Up.

The movie will be directed by Anthony Maras, who directed 2018’s Hotel Mumbai.

On the course, Daly has been part of the PGA Tour since he made his debut in 1991. In his 31 years of being on the tour, Daly has five career wins and has won the PGA Championship (1991) and The Open Championship (1995). He also finished third at The Masters in 1993. In 2004, Daly was named the PGA Tour’s Comeback Player of the Year after soaring up the world golf rankings.

In 2022, Daly had a pair of top-20 finishes. He tied for eighth at the American Family Insurance Championship and he tied for 19th at the Constellation Furyk & Friends tournament.
