The Match, Part 2, will be a famous foursome.

Formal announcement of the charity match featuring Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Tom Brady and Peyton Manning was made Wednesday. The event will be held sometime in May and be broadcast live on TNT, according to a report from Bleacher Report. The site is not yet known.

Woods and Mickelson squared off in the first made-for-TV Match in November 2018, with Mickelson winning the $9 million prize in 22 holes. This year, donations and fundraising for the event, named "The Match: Champions for Charity," will go to COVID-19 relief efforts.

CNBC reported in late March that the 2020 version will follow social distancing guidelines brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic: no crowd, minimal production personnel and the golfers remaining six feet apart from each other at all times.

The teams will be Mickelson-Brady and Woods-Manning. Both superstar quarterbacks are known for their ability on the links. Woods and Manning have been playing partners before, with the two taking part in the pro-am of the 2018 Memorial and the pro-am of the 2009 Wells Fargo Championship in Charlotte, N.C.

If you think Woods and Manning's history gives them a Ryder Cup-style edge in this event, then you might be able to make a few bucks off it. Super Book USA golf oddsmaker Jeff Sherman would make the pair the early -150 favorites in the event (wager $150 to win $100), with Mickelson and Brady as +130 underdogs (bet $100 to win $130).
