Here's everything you need to know about the format for The Match 2022 as Tiger Woods and Rory McElroy go head-to-head with Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth.

For example: Let's say Tiger makes a birdie on the first hole and Rory makes a par. For instance, if Tiger and Rory are leading 3 up on the 11th tee, they are guaranteed to win the match because there are only two holes left to play at that point. The number of strokes is reset for the next hole — it has no bearing on any of the other holes. The best score from each side will count for that hole, and there will be a maximum of 12 holes played. That will allow each of the four players to play their own ball the entire time. Instead of the shamble format used in June when

Brady wasn’t the best player this day, but he was the most entertaining.

J.T. Hitting Tiger and Rory with the Jordan shrug, Justin Thomas connected on his second birdie of the evening to pull his team up in front by one. 1 in the world makes a four on the seventh, and J.T. and Spieth give Rory a 15-footer on the sixth because J.T. thought he was going to nail a 5-foot birdie to win the hole. The best part was Spieth running up to the hole and pulling the ball out of the hole before running off. and Spieth currently 3 up with three to go and dormie in the match. Both Spieth and J.T. Tiger hit the edge of the hole for birdie at the ninth hole, and now Rory and Tiger have to win the last three to tie it up. He hasn't played in the Tournament of Champions since 2019 and if he forgoes a trip to Kapalua, it is likely he returns to competition at the end of January during the DP World Tour's desert swing as he has done the last couple years. Thomas needled the NBA legend on just about every topic, ranging from his weight to his golf game and lamented on Barkley consistently calling J.T.'s alma mater "Alabama University." From there, they were on cruise control as a handful of pars and two additional birdies were enough to put the finishing touches on this match on the 10th hole.

David Perron a marqué à son 1000e match en carrière dans la LNH, mais les Red Wings ont baissé pavillon 3-2 en prolongation.

L'entraîneur-chef Panthers, Paul Maurice, a demandé la reprise vidéo en prétextant de l'obstruction sur le gardien, mais l'arbitre a décrété que c'est son propre défenseur, Aaron Ekblad, qui a causé sa chute. Zac Dalpe a assuré la réplique des Panthers quand son tir a dévié sur le patin d'un joueur du Lightning. David Perron a nivelé la marque trois minutes plus tard en faisant dévier le tir de Ben Chiarot. Après avoir récolté au moins un point lors d'une séquence de 18 matchs consécutifs, Jason Robertson a été blanchi de la feuille de pointage à deux reprises. Mais on a rebondi et on a offert une bonne performance. « On a connu un très bon voyage, mis à part un match plus difficile contre la Floride (une défaite de 5-1 jeudi, NDLR).

Célébrant son 1000e match en carrière dans la LNH, David Perron a marqué dans une cause perdante de 3 à 2 des Red Wings de Detroit contre les Stars.

«C’était un filet très important pour nous, a noté le joueur de centre. Je me rendais au filet et je n’avais pas d’intention claire, mais j’ai senti la rondelle rebondir sur mon bâton et aboutir dans le filet. Il fait désormais partie d’un groupe restreint de six joueurs actifs à avoir marqué à leur 1000e partie.

I’ve never felt more uncomfortable over a putt in my life.” With the greens rolling 13 on the Stimpmeter, Thomas barely touched the putt and rolled it in to secure both the wackiest and greatest par in The Match history.

There were lights illuminating the course; mics capturing the banter; and, yes, Charles Barkley. Here's a closer look at TNT's coverage.

Refreshingly, though, unlike some other iterations of The Match (we’re looking at you Brooks and Bryson) the evening was also light on forced and awkward chatter. A low point, by contrast, came on the 6th hole, [when Anderson joked](https://golf.com/news/tiger-woods-jabbed-match-announcer-quip/) that Woods, who was struggling, was getting a shot from everybody in the group. [Trevor Immelman](https://golf.com/tag/trevor-immelman/) lacked in searing insights, they made up for by mostly staying out of the way.

Woods is the obviously main draw, as he and son Charlie will look to improve on their runner-up result from last year. For the players, however, it was tricky, with the shadows and the freshening moisture on the greens after sunset making things difficult. It ended up just six feet from the hole and he rolled in the birdie to win the match. The downhill, left-to-righter was centre-cut all the way, and he hit McIlroy and Woods with a Michael Jordan-type shrug. It was early still, but Thomas’ epic roll from about 25 feet on the second hole set the tone for the rest of the match. A birdie on the 7th hole by McIlroy set up the lone winner for he and Woods. On the par-3 9th, Woods had a chance to make a birdie and start some semblance of a comeback. The Match teed off at 7 p.m. After his drive on No.10 left him slightly out-of-position, he ended up hitting a cut shot around a tree from a patch of pine straw. Exhibit A: During the one-club challenge hole, McIlroy’s drive managed to find a divot in the fairway. In a four-man exhibition match. He was often clocking ball speeds around 178 mph with his driver, right up there with his much-younger fellow competitors.
