My recording ended as the hit off the tee on 17. Who won?

Rory made a putt to tie 17, DJ carried to tie on 18...then Rory won in extra holes, which was closest to the pin on the short Par 3.
Should be entertaining today...nowhere to go but up.

and you can even play a free DFS at DK.
Match format
The event will be match play, and the front nine will be best ball. Here's an example of how that works. If Manning, Brady and Woods all make par at No. 1 but Mickelson makes birdie, the Mickelson-Brady team is 1 up. Manning and Brady receive one stroke each on No. 3, No. 6 and No. 8 per their handicaps, and that's how the front nine will be played.
One wrinkle is a one-club challenge on No. 5 -- a par 4 -- in which golfers must choose one club to play the entire hole with (including putting!). I'm excited about that because it gives us a genuine look at how skilled players like Woods and Mickelson are when faced with an adversity. In the point-and-shoot world of professional golf, we often don't get to see the extreme creativity they possess, which a 30-yard chip shot with a 4-iron can disclose.
The back nine is where it gets intriguing. It's a modified alternate-shot format, which means that everybody tees off but after that you have to alternate. So one golfer's drive will be chosen, and then the teammates -- Brady and Mickelson, for example -- will alternate shots until they hole out and move on to the next hole. The quarterbacks will not be teeing off from the same tee boxes as Woods and Mickelson.
Odds
Woods and Manning are -190, while Mickelson and Brady are +170. This is probably the right call as Manning is a bit better than Brady, and Woods -- when healthy! -- is better than Mickelson at this point in their careers (and at every point in their careers).

@CltPadilla: So I’m guessing #TheMatch won’t be teeing off as scheduled. Thanks again, 2020. https://twitter.com/CltPadilla/status/1264620818065248258/photo/1

Unbelievable. Although it’s supposed to be raining here in Tampa and we haven’t had a drop or any lightning.

Maybe playing a course with lots of trees wasn't such a good idea?

Hits fairway wood with screaming fade into trees.

think the producers of this match up really envisioned "shots so deep in the scrub we can't see the faces of these guys"?

Tiger and Brady are the GOATs of their respective sports but Peyton and Phil are so much more likeable.

I was just coming to say that Manning is genuinely just an entertaining guy. I’ll never pay for ESPN+, but Peyton’s Place being exclusive to it made me think about it.

@BKoepka: I’ll donate 100k through the @bkcharityfund if @TomBrady makes a par on the front 9 #TheMatch #TNT
