For the first time, Capital One’s The Match will not include any professional golfers, as NFL quarterbacks take the stage for Wednesday evening’s competition at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas. The broadcast (TNT, truTV, HLN) will commence at 6:30 p.m. ET. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will team up to face the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen and Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes. It makes for a classic NFC-AFC showdown, on the golf course. The 12-hole match play competition will feature a modified alternate shot format. All four competitors will hit their tee shots on each hole; each team will select a tee shot to play from, with the player whose ball wasn’t chosen playing the next shot. Team members will alternate playing that ball until the hole is completed. The Brady/Rodgers duo opens the evening as betting favorites. Brady looks for his first victory at The Match; he is 0-2 in two prior appearances. Rodgers is 1-0, having teamed with Bryson DeChambeau to defeat Phil Mickelson and Brady last July. Allen and Mahomes are each debuting in The Match. Keep it here for hole-by-hole updates from the sixth iteration of The Match.
