Win probabilities: John Deere Classic

The day-to-day vagaries of golf are often used to explain changes in form, but Dustin Johnson's transformation on Sunday was much more specific.

* Match was played to raise money for Covid-19 relief * Phil Mickelson and Peyton Manning also took part in match * Woods and Manning v Mickelson and Brady: as it happenedTom Brady, an athlete acquainted with magnificent comebacks, pulled off a highlight-reel shot during a made-for-TV charity golf match featuring Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Peyton Manning on Sunday.Brady had struggled through the first few holes of the $10m match, in which he was paired with Mickelson, to the point where he was the butt of numerous jokes on Twitter. The six-time Super Bowl champion was playing badly enough that four-time major champion Brooks Koepka said he would donate $100,000 to Covid-19 relief if Brady managed to par any of the first nine holes. NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley, who was on the commentary team, also joined in the teasing.> Never doubt @TomBrady. > > Charles Barkley learned the hard way … pic.twitter.com/muZ0xkt5xJ> > — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) May 24, 2020But, as most NFL teams have found out to their cost, a riled Brady is a dangerous Brady. “It’ll turn on, don’t worry,â€� he told Barkley. “It ain’t over yet.â€�Seconds later he holed out from 100 yards out for a birdie, drawing gasps of disbelief from the commentary team and costing Koepka $100,000. “Shut your mouth, Chuck,â€� Brady told Barkley with a laugh. “Take that medicine.â€�Brady’s glee was tempered slightly when he discovered he had split his pants during the shot, and he had to change clothes between holes. His shot inspired a comeback of sorts for Brady and his teammate, Mickelson. They were three holes down when he made the shot but clawed back the deficit before ultimately losing by one hole.> Oh no, Tom 😂 > > Watch CapitalOnesTheMatch on TNT pic.twitter.com/j8gllyfCy9> > — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) May 24, 2020Sunday’s match was played in rainy conditions at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida – which is Woods’ home course – and featured some of the most decorated athletes in US sports.

Mickelson and Woods have 20 golf major titles combined.Viewers were invited to contribute to Covid-19 relief during the match, and by the end of the broadcast more than $20m had been raised for charity.
