Woods made a triumphant comeback on the PGA Tour this season after several months out with back problems.
By his own high standards, Mickelson’s level has dipped this year.
The 48-year-old won just once on the PGA Tour in 2018 and his world ranking dropped to 24.
Nevertheless, the interest in Tiger vs Phil is high.
Bookmaker Coral has Woods odds-on at 4-9 to win. While Mickelson is available at 13-8.
“They are two of the biggest names in the history of the game and as a result this is an exhibition match which has really caught the attention of punters who have been backing Tiger to beat his rival ever since this exhibition match was announced,” said Coral’s John Hill.
