After more than a month of silence, more details about the match play event between Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods have trickled out.

According to a 30-second video posted on Twitter by Bleacher Report, the event:

— Will be called “The Match: Tiger vs. Phil.”

— Is scheduled for Nov. 23.

— Features a $9 million prize.

— Is set for Las Vegas’ Shadow Creek Golf Club.

— Will be streamed on digital devices by Bleacher Report Live.

Still unclear is the cost — or the availability — of tickets. Or the broadcast plans, which were originally mentioned as a pay-per-view event. Or where $9 million will come from.
