Odds on The Match III (Golf Week/USA Today)

Charles: “Listen, as long as I can drink and smoke when I play golf, I’m good. I’m going to have some drinks and some stogies. I’m not going to be overly concerned about how good or bad I play. I mean, I don’t think Tom Brady lost a lot of sleep because he was struggling on the front nine.”

The Rules

Last May, The Match II was a four ball match play, similar to what is used in Ryder Cup play, although there was allowance for handicap.

This event is utilizing a modified alternate shot format. Each player will tee off but then play their partner’s ball for the second shot. From there, the teams will choose which ball to play out the hole, using standard alternate shot rules.

The organizers will also make an exception for Charles Barkley’s - we’ll call it “limited golfing abilities” - to have special tees for Chuck to use.

Why?

Maybe you haven’t seen his swing:
