In case you were worried there hasn’t been enough trash talk leading up to the next installment of The Match, rest assured that the broadcast team will also be chatty.
Turner Sports announced on Thursday that Charles Barkley will again be part of the broadcast team, continuing in a role he’s carried out in previous incarnations. Adding some gravity to the broadcast, Cheyenne Woods and 11-time NFL all-star Larry Fitzgerald will also be part of the team.
Bryson DeChambeau will play with Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Phil Mickelson will again play with Tom Brady, with whom he partnered in The Match II against Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning last May. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, July 6, at 5 p.m. ET, just after the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, where DeChambeau will return as defending champion, and two days before the John Deere Classic.
The fourth edition of the made-for-TV event will take place at the spectacular Moonlight Basin in Big Sky, Montana, which sits at an elevation of roughly 7,500 feet.
Others who will take part in the broadcast include:
• Turner Sports’ Brian Anderson
• Pro golfer Trevor Immelman
• Co-host of Entertainment Tonight Kevin Frazier
