Charles Barkley, Larry Fitzgerald headline broadcast team for The Match
Charles Barkley and Larry Fitzgerald will headline the broadcast team for July's edition of The Match featuring Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Tom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers, Turner Sports announced Friday.
Barkley will trade his clubs for a microphone after teaming up with Mickelson to defeat Peyton Manning and Steph Curry in the most recent edition of the competition.
Fitzgerald, a quality golfer in his own right, will make his golf broadcasting debut and should dish out plenty of trash talk to his fellow NFLers.
The NBA legend and future NFL Hall-of-Famer will be joined by LPGA pro Cheyenne Woods and 2008 Masters champion Trevor Immelman. Brian Anderson will handle hosting duties once again.
The Match will pit Mickelson and Brady - who together lost to Tiger Woods and Manning in May 2020 - against DeChambeau and Rodgers, who will both be playing in the made-for-TV showdown for the first time.
The event tees off at 5 p.m. ET on July 6 from Big Sky, Montana.
