Where is The Match in 2022?

• Location: Wynn Golf Club, Paradise, Nev.

The Match returns to Las Vegas, and the Wynn Golf Club, after it was held there for the fifth edition of the match, which featured DeChambeau vs. Brooks Koepka. Wynn Las Vegas is a 6,722-yard, par-70 course. It is located on the site of the Desert Inn Golf Club.

Throughout the course, there are elevation changes and water hazards, which will provide challenges for the four NFL quarterbacks.

The Match format

The single-day tournament will feature match play between the pairings of Brady-Rodgers and Allen-Mahomes. They will play only 12 holes on the course in match play, and the pair that finishes with the lowest number of combined strokes wins the hole.

They will play in alternate-shot match-play, which means that the partners will take turns hitting the same ball during the tournament. Whoever does not hit the best tee shot will take the second shot on the course.

Who has won The Match in previous years?

Mickelson beat Woods in the first running of The Match and won the $9 million purse. A year and a half later, Woods teamed up with Peyton Manning to beat Mickelson and Brady. Mickelson had his revenge on Manning later in 2020, when he and Charles Barkley beat Manning and Stephen Curry.

In the two editions last year, Bryson DeChambeau and Rodgers beat Mickelson and Brady in July before Brooks Koepka beat DeChambeau in a one-on-one matchup in 2021.

Is Tom Brady good at golf?

Brady has had his moments on the golf course, but based on handicaps, he’s the second-worst golfer in the field. Brady played with an 8.1 handicap before “The Match” in 2021, when he was paired with Mickelson.

But he has had his moments. A drone captured a shot of him sinking a hole-in-one out on the course in May.

And he pulled off this impressive hole-out during “The Match” in 2020.

Is Aaron Rodgers good at golf?

Rodgers appears to be the best golfer in the group. According to the Wisconsin State Golf Association, Rodgers plays with a 4.6 handicap, the lowest in the field.

And the back-to-back NFL MVP is already busting out the trash talk against Allen and Mahomes.

“Charles, I’ve done my scouting report and I heard that Josh was terrible in Pebble (Beach) and Pat has played the last couple of years in Tahoe and hasn’t broken 80 yet,” Rodgers told Barkley in an interview with “Inside the NBA.” “I think he was closer to being in a group with you — no offense, Charles — than maybe with me in Tahoe. I feel really good about our chances.”

Last year, when Rodgers and DeChambeau teamed up against Mickelson and Brady, it was this birdie putt that sealed the win for the Packers’ QB and the 2020 U.S. Open winner.

Is Josh Allen good at golf?

Based on handicaps, Allen is the worst golfer of the bunch. At the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2022, Allen had a handicap of 9.0, meaning he is about a stroke worse than Brady and nearly 4.5 strokes worse than Rodgers.

Allen and his partner at the pro-am, Kevin Mitchell, finished four strokes below the 19 under cut line and were eliminated.

Allen told USA Today’s Mackenzie Salmon that he wasn’t happy with his performance in the tournament, but explained he also hadn’t taken any golf swings since late July.

“It wasn’t very good. I had a great time, I will say that. Met some really great people,” Allen told Salmon. “I’m so competitive that I was just so frustrated the whole week and not playing well. But to look out and see the beach and see the water, and it being 70 degrees at 10 o’clock in the morning with the sun shining down on my face, it was hard to be mad.”

Is Patrick Mahomes good at golf?

Mahomes finds himself in the middle of the field. According to Golf.com, Mahomes has a handicap of 7.7, placing him a bit better than Brady, but still a bit back of Rodgers.

The Chiefs QB is already expressing confidence in the pairing with Allen. He believes the young, strong-armed quarterbacks are going to take advantage of some of the longer holes with their driving ability.

“The reason we’re going to win is that we’re going to be able to play the course differently than old Tom and old Aaron over there,” Mahomes said, according to ESPN. “They might get us on a couple of par 3s and stuff like that but whenever we can really open it up and use the drivers . . . it’s going to be nice to be able to use our little wedges like they use their 6-irons.”

There is no doubt that Mahomes can let it fly with the driver. He put that on display in 2019 at a trip to TopGolf.
