Professional golf played at night?
Yes, there was indeed high-profile golf played under the lights instead of daylight.
And that's just one of the unique but entertaining twists featured at the seventh edition of Capital One's The Match, which saw Rory McIlroy team up with Tiger Woods to go head-to-head with the pairing of Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.
The 12-hole competition was played in the evening at the Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, to settle a few scores between four of golf's biggest stars and support Florida in its effort to bounce back from the statewide devastation in the wake of Hurricane Ian.
By the end of the night, it was Spieth and Thomas prevailing 3 and 2 after taking the lead early and never looking back after the latter went for a long birdie to win the second hole and hit the Michael Jordan shrug.
Ever the showman, Woods started things off with a birdie on the opening hole that was "smooth as a Tootsie Roll," but that would be the lone highlight for him on the night.
From there, Spieth and Thomas went on to combine for a few pars and two more birdies to finish off their opponents on the 10th hole.
There were some beautiful shots and competitive flourishes from the superstar quartet to the delight of fans, including JT's use of a 5-wood to make par on a 455-yard hole.
But as much as there was great action and gamesmanship on the links, it was the trash talk and other hilarious moments along the way that made this event must-see TV.
All four athletes traded barbs leading up to Saturday night, but the trolling really got underway during and after The Match.
"Hey Tiger and Rory...what happened?!?!" Spieth and Thomas joked on Twitter afterward.
Probably the biggest burn was directed at Charles Barkley, the announcer for the night.
Barbs directed at Sir Charles is par for the course, considering everyone took a swipe before the match. That included Woods, who, when prompted with the question of "are you going to listen to Charles throughout the day or are you pretty much going to mute him?" responded with "if we had an option, we'd never listen to him."
Thomas has history with the Round Mound of Rebound, especially with Barkley, an Auburn alum, goading him about having attended "Alabama University," so it's no surprise the line of the night came from him.
"Chuck's looking at that moon like it's an Oreo," he said.
Laughter aside, it was all for a great cause, adding more much-needed funds to the Hurricane Ian relief efforts in Florida.
After a night like that, fans likely can't wait for the next one.
Thomas, Spieth Win Capital One's 'The Match 7' vs. Woods, McIlroy

Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth won the seventh edition of Capital One's The Match Saturday with a 3-and-2 victory over Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida.
The superstar quartet enjoyed some evening golf during the 12-hole competition.
Spieth drained a 15-foot birdie putt on the next one to put his team two holes up.
The 455-yard par-four fourth hole featured the one-club challenge. Thomas took centerstage again by making par on a 455-yard hole using nothing but a 5-wood:
Neither team won the fifth or sixth holes, but Woods and McIlroy got one back on the par-five seventh after the latter golfer knocked home a 20-foot birdie.
However, Thomas put Woods and McIlroy on the ropes by nailing a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-three eighth for the 3-up lead.
The ninth hole was a heartbreaker for Woods and McIlroy, who each had birdie chances from under 20 feet to win the hole. Neither shot dropped, though, and that duo found itself needing to win the final three holes just to tie.
McIlroy put his team in position to do just that with a birdie, but Spieth matched him to halve the hole and win the match.
Thomas, Spieth and McIlroy made their Match debuts. Woods had played twice, losing to Phil Mickelson in the inaugural competition before teaming with Peyton Manning to defeat Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady.
This year's matchup served to benefit Hurricane Ian relief efforts. The first six editions of The Match have combined to raise almost $33 million for a variety of charitable organizations. In addition, more than 27 million meals have been donated through Feeding America.

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy
Capital One's The Match returns Saturday night for its seventh iteration. The Match VII doesn't feature non-golf athletes as past events have, but it should be wildly entertaining nonetheless.
Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will team up to battle Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth in a 12-hole, best-ball contest. Bragging rights will be on the line, as well as a chance to earn a lot of charity donations.
As with past editions of The Match, this one is designed to benefit a good cause. The Match VII will serve as a platform for Hurricane Ian relief efforts.
"WBD Sports has televised six editions of Capital One’s The Match,
raising nearly $33 million for various charitable organizations and has
donated more than 27 million meals through Feeding America. The upcoming installment of the event will serve as a platform to benefit Hurricane Ian relief efforts after the devastating effects of the storm on the Gulf Coast and its surrounding communities."
While there is no prize purse for winning the event, teams can earn charity donations through a series of challenges that will take place throughout the round. Below, you'll find a look at those challenges and the money payouts, along with all of the information you need to catch The Match VII.
Capital One's The Match VII

Time: Coverage begins at 6 p.m. ET, with the Hot Seat Press Conference Presented by Capital One airing at 5:30 p.m. ET on the B/R App.
Challenges and Charity Distribution
Woods and McIlroy will be competing to best Thomas and Spieth, and vice versa. However, both teams will be playing to earn charity dollars via the following challenges.
Hole 3 will feature the DraftKings Sportsbook Closest to the Hole challenge, with a payout of up to $1.1 million.
Hole 9 will feature the UnitedHealthcare Closest to the Hole Challenge. On the closest-to-the-hole challenges, $1 million will be donated on that team's behalf for a hole-in-one. $500,000 will be donated if a shot is placed within five feet of the hole. If no shot comes within five feet, $250,000 will be donated on behalf of the player who is closest to the hole.
An additional $100,000 will be donated if all four golfers make it onto the green on their opening shot.
Hole 4 will feature the Capital One Club Challenge. For this challenge, a $500,000 donation will be made for the team that wins the hole. An additional $250,000 will be donated for each team that scores a birdie.
Hole 5 will feature the USAA Hole in One Challenge, with a potential payout of $2.5 million.
Hole 8 will feature the Tito's Handmade Vodka Hole in One Challenge. $2.5 million will be donated on behalf of a team if it makes a hole-in-one. If no hole-in-one is made, $250,000 will still be donated on behalf of the winning team.
Plenty of money will be donated over the course of Saturday's event, and while holes-in-one are extremely rare, it will be something for fans to root for. They'll also get to cheer on four of the world's best golfers in what should be a very even match.
Thomas and Spieth are slight favorites for the event, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. Their team carries -125 odds, meaning a bet of $125 will earn a $100 payout. Woods and McIlroy are ever-so-slight underdogs at +105 (bet $100 to win $105), but things should be relatively even.
Yes, Woods is 46, is dealing with a foot injury and hasn't played in a high-level tournament since missing the cut at the Open Championship in July. However, he's still a spirited competitor and has the world's top-ranked golfer in his corner.
"I've got the No. 1 player in the world on my team so I'm good," Woods said in a press conference.
Expect The Match VII to feature a tight race, a lot of quality golf, a little bit of trash talk and potentially millions going to a good cause. Most importantly, expect it to be a heck of a lot of fun.
Capital One's 'The Match 7': Does Woods, McIlroy or Thomas, Spieth Have Edge?
Dec 10, 2022
Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy
The latest edition of Capital One's The Match is slated to take place on Saturday evening under the lights at Pelican Golf Course.
Like other iterations of The Match, this event will be for charity, serving as a platform for Hurricane Ian relief efforts. Unlike recent entries in the series, it won't feature celebrity athletes from other sports.
The Match VII is strictly a golfer showcase, with Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy facing off against Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.
Thomas and Spieth are the favorites, which isn't a major surprise. While Woods is a PGA legend, he hasn't competed in a high-level tournament since missing the cut at the Open Championship, and he's not at 100 percent. But do Thomas and Spieth actually have the edge in this best-ball competition?
At first blush, Thomas and Spieth do appear to be the better team. The two longtime friends know one another's game well, and both have been competing at extremely high levels.
According to the PGA world rankings, Spieth is the 14th-best golfer in the world right now, while Thomas is ranked eighth. Fans can expect this team to attack the open Pelican course with power and long-ball accuracy.
The other factor to consider is Woods' health. The 46-year-old is dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot, an issue that recently caused him to withdraw from the Hero World Challenge.
However, Woods has insisted that the injury won't inhibit his ability to play golf.
"I can hit the golf ball and hit whatever shot you want, I just cant walk ... Only time can heal this one." pic.twitter.com/WeKqThcSnU
Since The Match is a cart-assisted event, difficulty walking won't be an issue for Woods.
Woods will also be experimenting with a new ball at The Match, which could help him hang with Thomas and Spieth in the power department. He'll be changing his ball from the Bridgestone Tour B XS to a Tour B X.
"I'm experimenting with the Tour B X to get a little more pop," Woods said through Bridgestone (h/t Max Schreiber of Golf Channel). "Based on the situation, I have different preferences, and it’s great that Bridgestone has multiple balls right off the shelf that I can play."
If the ball change allows Woods to even the odds a bit off the tee, his prowess in the short game and on the green will be a significant factor for his team.
Oh, and Woods will be playing with the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world, McIlroy. This is big because of the best-ball format. Only the lowest score for each team will be counted on each hole.
Hypothetically, Woods could play a terrible round and still win as long as McIlroy outdoes Thomas and Spieth more often than he doesn't.
The Match is only a 12-hole event, so a couple of hole wins and several ties may be enough to decide the outcome.
While Thomas and Spieth are the more well-rounded team, Mcilroy is the best all-around golfer in this competition. The format actually gives him and Woods a slight edge, even if the oddsmakers are discounting Woods coming in.
The prediction here is that Mcilroy wins just enough holes to deliver a victory, though it won't be a shock to see Woods steal one or two on the green. Expect it to be a tight race, however, that lasts the full 12 holes.
There isn't a true underdog here, and the play should be close enough that the result isn't in the books early.

Capital One's 'The Match 7': Explaining Rules for Woods, McIlroy vs. Thomas, Spieth
Dec 8, 2022
Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth
Capital One's The Match is back for its seventh iteration. While casual fans may not be as excited about this edition as past ones—it doesn't feature non-PGA athletes like Peyton Manning or Stephen Curry—golf purists should be thrilled.
PGA legend Tiger Woods is back for his third appearance in The Match, and he'll be paired with
the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world, Rory McIlroy. They'll face off against the team of Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas.
While The Match VII doesn't carry the novelty of an NFL quarterback duel—the last edition pitted Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers against Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen—it should still be a ton of fun.
Woods is notorious for being one of the top competitors in the sport, and he's very familiar with McIlroy. The two co-founded TMRW Sports. Thomas and Spieth, meanwhile, are longtime friends.
All four participants have faced off on the PGA tour.
Fans can expect a lot of quality golf, some tight competition and, likely, a fair bit of trash talk. Here's what you need to know.
One interesting aspect of The Match VII is that it will be played at night. Pelican Golf Course features an open environment, which is perfect for temporary lighting and a prime-time event.
"The way the golf course is laid out, I would call it a parkland,
especially the back nine,” said Justin Sheehan, Pelican's director of golf, per Jeff Eisenband of PGATour.com. “It's pretty open. We have
minimal rough, so it's got a really nice big open feel, which is why
it's so good for a tournament. It's easier than most golf courses would
be to put light trucks in place. We're not going through woods and
marshes and tons of water.”
The Match will also feature custom golf carts, which should help Woods, who withdrew from last month's Hero World Challenge with plantar fasciitis.
As for, you know, the match itself, it will be a 12-hole competition of match play. Each team will receive a point when it wins a hole, with the most points after 12 deciding the winner.
Theoretically, though, the event could end well before all 12 holes are played.
If, for example, one team has a 4-1 lead and five holes have been tied, the other team cannot draw even over the final two holes.
The Match will also feature a best-ball format, which means that only the lowest score from each team will count on a given hole. This means that, hypothetically, Wood could triple-bogey a hole and still win if McIlroy's score beats those of Thomas and Spieth.
This is perhaps one reason why the odds are fairly close to even. Spieth and Thomas may be the more complete team—Woods is banged up and no longer in his prime—but one of them still has to outplay McIlroy.
And as with all iterations of The Match, this is first and foremost a charity event. The Match VII will serve as a platform to benefit Hurricane Ian relief efforts.
It's going to be an entertaining experience and for a good cause, so fans should be sure to tune in this Saturday.

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy will take on Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth in the latest edition of Capital One's The Match, set to take place Saturday, Dec. 10, on the Warner Bros. Discovery family of networks.
The event will begin at 6 p.m. ET on TNT, with simulcasts available on TBS, truTV and HLN. Bleacher Report’s platforms will also provide expansive coverage leading up to the event and during the competition.
The seventh edition of the Sports Emmy-nominated event will take place at Pelican Golf Club in Belleair, Florida, and feature four of golf's brightest stars going head-to-head in a 12-hole competition.
This will mark just the third time Capital One's The Match has not featured a non-golf celebrity. The previous two instances saw head-to-head matchups between great golf rivals when Woods took on Phil Mickelson in the inaugural event and Bryson DeChambeau took on Brooks Koepka last November.
The most recent edition—Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers vs. Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes in June—did not feature any professional golfers.
Woods will make his third appearance in the series, which puts him one behind Phil Mickelson for the most all-time. The 15-time major winner has not played competitive golf since missing the cut at the Open Championship in July as he recovers from injuries suffered in a 2021 car crash.
McIlroy, Thomas and Spieth will all make their first appearances in the event. Woods and McIlroy were in the news in August when their TMRW Sports company announced TGL, a tech-based golf league that will debut in January 2024.
Capital One's The Match has raised $33 million for charitable organizations since its launch in 2018.
Jordan Spieth, Team USA Win 2022 Presidents Cup for 9th Straight Victory
Sep 25, 2022

The U.S. team defeated the International Team to claim the 2022 Presidents Cup at at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Sunday as 12 singles matches determined the winner.
The Americans, who entered leading the all-time series 11-1-1, held a massive 8-2 lead heading into the weekend. However, the International Team managed to close the gap on Saturday and entered Sunday's finale trailing 11-7.
Wins by Jordan Spieth, Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay, Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele secured the win for the United States.
The Presidents Cup is different from most golf tournaments in terms of prize money since it's a charity event. Each player received $150,000 to donate to charity.
Here's a look at Sunday's matchups and the results:
Sunday Results
Si Woo Kim (INT) def. Justin Thomas (USA) 1-up
Jordan Spieth (USA) def. Cam Davis (INT) 4 and 3
Sam Burns (USA) tied Hideki Matsuyama (INT)
Patrick Cantlay (USA) def. Adam Scott (INT) 3 and 2
Sebastián Muñoz (INT) def. Scottie Scheffler (USA) 2 and 1
Tony Finau (USA) def. Taylor Pendrith (INT) 3 and 1
Christiaan Bezuidenhout (INT) def. Kevin Kisner (USA) 2 and 1
Jordan Spieth kicked off the final round with a 4 and 3 win over Cam Davis, becoming the sixth player in Presidents Cup history to go 5-0-0 in a week. Before Sunday, Spieth was 0-6-1 in Ryder and Presidents Cup matches.
Sunday's match marked his first career singles win.
"I was more nervous than I probably should’ve been today, but I really wanted to get that monkey off my back," Spieth said after the match.
Spieth lost the first two holes before getting going with birdies on holes four and five. He and Davis were tied after nine, but Spieth ran away with the lead from there, winning six of the last seven holes on the back nine.
The 29-year-old's win gave the Americans a 12-7 lead.

However, Si Woo Kim got the point back for the Internationals with a 1-up win over Justin Thomas to make it a 12-8 match in favor of the Americans.
Thomas was 2-up on Kim through the front nine, but by the time the 14th hole was over, the two were tied. They remained tied through the 15th hole before Kim took a 1-up lead on the 16th with a birdie.
Thomas and Kim entered the 18th hole tied, and while Thomas shot for par, Kim carded a birdie for the victory.
Thomas had a solid week, finishing 4-1-0, but he still has never won a singles match in the Presidents Cup, falling to 0-3.
Patrick Cantlay won his match against Adam Scott 3 and 2 to score the Americans another point, giving the team a 13-8 lead.
Cantlay carded birdies on the second, third and fourth holes and also carded birdies on the 13th and 15th holes for the win. The only holes he lost came when he carded a double bogey on the seventh and 14th holes.
A half a point each was dished out to each player in the match between Sam Burns and Hideki Matsuyama as the two remained deadlocked through 18 holes, making the score 13.5-8.5 in favor of the Americans.
Matsuyama won the front nine, holding a 2-up lead on Burns before the American bounced back with three straight birdies on holes 10-12 to claim a 1-up lead, which he held through the 14th hole.
Matsuyama won the 15th hole with a bogey to tie the match as Burns carded a double bogey. The two shot for par on the final three holes to tie. Matsuyama could have won the match on the 18th hole, but his shot for birdie bounced off the flag and out.
Sebastián Muñoz claimed a 2 and 1 victory over Scottie Scheffler to earn the Internationals another point, cutting into the Americans' lead even more, making it a 13.5-9.5 match.
Scheffler held a 1-up lead through eight holes before taking a turn for the worse on the ninth green with a bogey, making it a tie match. Muñoz took over from there, carding four birdies and an eagle on the back nine to claim the victory.
Tony Finau defeated Taylor Pendrith 3 and 1 to extend the Americans' lead to 14.5-9.5.
Pendrith led from holes six through 11 but failed to win a hole after the 11th as Finau went on to win with an impressive back nine performance, winning four of his last six holes.
The American secured at least half a point for his team with a birdie on the 16th hole before securing the full point with another birdie on the 17th hole to claim the victory.
Xander Schauffele clinched the Presidents Cup for the Americans with a 1-up victory over Corey Conners.
Schauffele led Conners 2-up through the front nine, but an inconsistent back nine nearly saw him lose the point. Schauffele and Conners were tied after 14 holes before the American took a 1-up lead on the 15th hole, which he held on to through the 18th hole for the win.
“This is a really strange feeling. Man, we were struggling out there, and I’m really happy there are no pictures on the scorecard. I had all the boys pulling for me. I knew it was going to be close. Corey just let me in, and I was able to take advantage of it," Schauffele said after the match.
Sungjae Im, K.H. Lee and Christiaan Bezuidenhout posted wins for the Internationals while Max Homa and Collin Morikawa closed out the afternoon with wins for the Americans.
The victory for the U.S. team marks its ninth straight Presidents Cup win.

Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas have posted a perfect 4-0 record for the United States in Presidents Cup action after a pair of 4-and-3 victories Saturday.
Thanks to their efforts, Team USA holds an 11-7 lead over the International side with one day remaining.
Thomas and Spieth have been the story at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte.
The Spieth-Thomas team won with ease on Saturday, taking down Sungjae Im and Corey Conners 4 and 3 in foursomes before defeating Hideki Matsuyama and Taylor Pendrith by the same score in four-ball.
Spieth closed the afternoon in style with an 18'7" chip off the green on the par-four 15th.
In the morning, Spieth and Thomas found themselves down a hole after the par-four second, but they proceeded to win the third, fourth and seventh holes to go two up. They dropped the eighth but won the ninth and cruised from there for the morning win.
In the afternoon, Spieth and Thomas fell behind early again, this time after the first hole. However, the duo then won the second through fourth holes and never dropped another hole for the remainder of the day. They went three up going into the back nine before Spieth's chip to seal the victory.
The morning featured the U.S. and International teams splitting a quartet of foursomes matchups. The International side got revenge in the afternoon, however, with three victories to keep the United States within sight going into singles action Sunday.
The United States had an 8-2 lead going into Saturday after posting 4-1 records in foursomes Thursday and four-ball Friday and could have conceivably closed the door Saturday. A score of 15.5 is needed to win the competition, and the Americans could have gotten it done with seven wins and one tie.
But that certainly won't be the case after the International team finished 5-3 Saturday. It was a sensational effort from the team after a rough first two days, opening the door for a potential comeback Sunday.
Adam Scott won both of his matches Saturday, as did Tom Kim. Scott won foursomes with Hideki Matsuyama and four-ball with Cam Davis. Meanwhile, Kim won foursomes with K.H. Lee and four-ball with Si Woo Kim.
Here's a look at Saturday's scores.
Foursomes
Jordan Spieth/Justin Thomas def. Sungjae Im/Corey Conners, 4 and 3
Tony Finau/Max Homa def. Si Woo Kim/Cam Davis, 4 and 3
Adam Scott/Hideki Matsuyama def. Cameron Young/Collin Morikawa, 3 and 2
K.H. Lee/Tom Kim def. Scottie Scheffler/Sam Burns, 2 and 1
Four-Ball
Si Woo Kim/Tom Kim def. Patrick Cantlay/Xander Schauffele, 1 up
Justin Thomas/Jordan Spieth def. Hideki Matsuyama/Taylor Pendrith, 4 and 3
Sungjae Im/Sebastián Muñoz def. Tony Finau/Kevin Kisner, 4 and 2
Adam Scott/Cam Davis def. Billy Horschel/Sam Burns, 1 up
What's Next?
The Presidents Cup will close with 12 singles matches on Sunday. The magic number for the United States is 4.5, while the International team needs to post an 8.5 for the win. NBC will air the competition beginning at noon ET.
