There’s no need to shell out $20 for “The Match” if you’re living in Las Vegas.

The Westgate, Caesars Entertainment sports books and MGM Resorts sports books will show Friday’s Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson pay-per-view golf match for free.

CG Technology sports book will show “The Match” at their locations at The Venetian, The Cosmopolitan, M Resort, Silverton, Hard Rock Hotel and Palms.

Topgolf at MGM Grand is also hosting a watch party when the duo tees off at 12 p.m.

Woods is a minus-200 favorite over Mickelson (a plus-170 underdog) and Las Vegas books also are offering props on the event that will take place at Shadow Creek Golf Course in North Las Vegas.
