With the return of live sports comes the return of live sports betting, and Sunday’s “The Match” – the charity golf event that will pit Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady – has no shortage of prop bets on the card.
From Colorado’s SportsBetting.com comes a list of props that range from performance to President Donald Trump-related. Woods and Manning are favored to win the match (-200) at Medalist Golf Club north of Palm Beach, Fla., that will raise $10 million for COVID-19 relief, while Mickelson and Brady have +175 odds to pull ahead.
In addition to typical golf bets – who will win the first hole or lead after the front nine – the rest of the props play into the personalities of the competitors and broadcasters, Justin Thomas and Charles Barkley.
Will Tiger wear red? The prediction is overwhelmingly a yes, at -500 odds. Will Brady, who was spotted sporting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers logo for the first time in a practice with teammates this week, represent his new team on his clothing? At even odds, it’s anybody’s guess.
It’s highly unlikely that Charles Barkley will invite Michael Jordan to play golf (+1000), but Justin Thomas will probably be made fun of for his PGA Tour 2K21 video game cover (-130).
On the green, will anyone say “Omaha” in reference to Manning’s infamous play call? What about “deflate,” to take a jab at Brady?
Odds are even that Trump will be interviewed during the broadcast, as he was during last week’s charity match, but there’s -200 odds that the president will tweet about the event on Sunday. Odds are that Brady (-140) and Woods (-180) will golf with Trump before 2022, while Manning (even) could go either way, and Mickelson (+300) is a firm no.
