Phil Mickelson confirms $10 million match with Tiger Woods

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, West Virginia — Phil Mickelson confirmed Saturday that reports of a potential $10 million winner-take-all match against his longtime rival Tiger Woods are “accurateâ€� but did not elaborate on details regarding a date or location. “The report was accurate, but I don’t know what else to say,â€� Mickelson told the Golf Channel after shooting a 70 in the third round of A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier that left him 5 under. “I’m sure as soon as we know more, we’ll fill you in. But right now, I don’t have much more to add to it.â€� Earlier this week, Golf.com reported that the match nearly came to fruition on July 3 in Las Vegas but TV network and corporate negotiations could not completed in time. “We’re working on a different date,” Mickelson was quoted as saying on Thursday. “I thought it was done for the 3rd but obviously it wasn’t.” There has been no comment from the Woods camp. Mickelson first broached the idea of a winner-take-all match after he and Woods were paired together, along with Rickie Fowler, during the first two rounds of THE PLAYERS Championship. According to Golf.com, the plans for the made-for-TV showdown were already in the works.
