Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson make $200k bet Phil will birdie the first hole of 'The Match'
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson had already declared there would be a number of side wagers for charity well in advance of their $9 million pay-per-view match this Friday, but the first one has officially been confirmed - a Mickelson birdie at the first hole!
