Curry, Thompson to square off against Mahomes, Kelce in The Match
It'll be a championship showdown in the next installment of The Match as Steph Curry and Klay Thompson will take on Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, Warner Bros. Discovery Sports announced Wednesday.
The duel between the Golden State Warriors and Kansas City Chiefs pairs will take place at the Wynn Las Vegas on June 29 at 6:30 p.m. ET.
All four participants are recent champions. Mahomes and Kelce captured their second Super Bowl by taking down the Philadelphia Eagles in February. Meanwhile, the Splash Brothers brought Golden State its fourth NBA Championship last season and the first since 2018.
Mahomes was also named Super Bowl MVP for his efforts against the Eagles, while Curry's Finals MVP in 2023 was the first of his career.
Neither Mahomes nor Curry is a stranger to the golf event, though both are looking for their first victory. Mahomes and Josh Allen fell to Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers last year, while Curry and Peyton Manning lost to Phil Mickelson and Charles Barkley in 2020.
