As The Match between Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy vs Jordan Spieth and Justin Thomas (opens in new tab) gets under way on Saturday, many golf fans around the world can’t wait for Tiger to tee it up again in a competitive environment.
Along with the 15-time Major winner, there is also the addition of World No.1 McIlroy, as well as close friends and multiple Major winners Spieth and Thomas. Teeing off at Tampa’s Pelican Golf Club, it promises to be an entertaining watch, with four of the most recognizable faces from the golf world coming together in a 12-hole match.
We already know what the buggies that the players will be using to get around the course will look like so, in this piece, we’re checking out what the quartet will be wearing and what equipment will be in play.

TaylorMade clubs are then the order of choice for the four-time Major winner, and that’s been the case since 2017, with McIlroy using the TaylorMade TP5x golf ball, which is one of the best premium golf balls (opens in new tab) on the market.
