"The Match" has been one of the more entertaining sports collaborations in recent memory.
The brutality of football; the delicate nature of golf. What could be better?
This year's version of "The Match" is set to feature an all-star lineup.
Unlike years past, The Match 6 will only showcase football players and will feature some of the sport's biggest names: Josh Allen, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers.
It's a clash of the old guard vs. the new, one that looks poised to draw national interest — and inevitably start petty argument over who is the NFL's true top dog under center.
More importantly than that, it'll earn money for some noble causes.
Here's everything you need to know about how big The Match's purse is, as well net worth values for Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes and Allen.

The Match purse: How much money will be donated to charity?
It's unclear just how much money The Match will raise for charity this year. The second iteration of "The Match" raised $20 million for COVID-19 relief, while the third version of "The Match" secured $4.4 million for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Last year's event pocketed at least $1 million for the participants' charities of choice, although the actual figure was likely more than that. A figure for The Match will likely be announced at a later date.
Proceeds from The Match will benefit a number of charities, including Feeding America.
How much will the winner make?
In 2018, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson clashed in the first edition of "The Match." Winner earned bragging rights...and a cool $9 million payout. Mickelson beat his longtime rival to earn the hefty paycheck.
Each of the next three versions of the event raised money for charity. As such, none of the participants earned any profits for themselves.
This year's event will follow in the footsteps of the past two tournaments. There's no winner's purse. Rodgers, Brady, Allen and Mahomes are playing to raise money for charity.
Tom Brady net worth
Brady's net worth is $250 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com.
It looks poised to rise even higher in the next couple years; Brady inked a 10-year, $375 million deal with Fox Sports to become one of the network's lead analysts whenever he decides to hang it up.
Expect that $250 million figure to swell even more in the coming few years.
Aaron Rodgers net worth
Rodgers is worth about $200 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com.
The future Hall-of-Famer lags $50 million behind Brady. He probably doesn't mind too much, though. Rodgers secured his third deal of $110 million or more this offseason. Rodgers stands to make $150 million over the next five seasons, fully guaranteed.
Rodgers will make $42 million in 2022.
Patrick Mahomes net worth
Mahomes' net worth is $40 million, according to CelebrityNetWorth.com.
Mahomes looks poised to be an all-time great and is being paid like one. The 26-year old will bring in a cool $29 million in 2022, part of a mammoth 10-year, $450 million deal he inked with the Chiefs back in 2020.
I have a feeling Kansas City's fireballer will be worth it.
Josh Allen net worth
Josh Allen is worth about $14 million, per CelebrityNetWorth.com.
That may be chump change compared to everyone else on this list, but Allen is one of the league's true phenoms. A dual-threat hurler with the bravado to boot, Allen is set to make nearly $47 million in 2022. He received a lucrative deal of his own prior to the 2021 season, signing a 6 year, $258 million extension with the Bills, so that number is sure to go up.
