NBA legend Charles Barkley will put his not-so-legendary golf swing to the test at "The Match: Champions for Charity" on Sunday.

Barkley will play one hole during the event - which pits Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady in match play - with $200,000 for COVID-19 relief efforts on the line. All he has to do is make bogey or better, Bleacher Report announced Tuesday.

The 57-year-old will once again be serving as an analyst for TNT during The Match II, reprising his role from the 2018 contest between Woods and Mickelson. Justin Verlander, Chris Paul, and Kurt Busch were among the athletes to call Barkley out. Now Sir Charles will get a chance to prove his doubters wrong.
