With the sports void dragging on, fans are looking for any and all options for watching a competitive event.

The possibility of a golf match, in this case, a rematch - with no fans and socially distant competitors - between two of the game's greats has been floated.

Yes, Tiger Woods vs. Phil Mickelson II. Mickelson hinted over the weekend that it's being worked on. They met in a pay-per-view event in November 2018 with Phil besting Tiger after four playoff holes to take home the $9 million prize.

And now, for the new wrinkle in the rematch: Golf author and journalist Robert Lusetich hinted that two other all-time greats - quarterbacks, that is - are being mentioned as potential playing partners for the golfing legends this time around. 

Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

Vegas is already putting out lines, Lusetich reports:

Brady and Manning, in addition to being longtime QB rivals (Tom leads 11-5 head-to-head overall; and in Super Bowls, 6-2), are old golfing buddies, if this clip below from Manning's ESPN+ series, "Peyton Places" is to be believed. The two hit some balls and talked some trash after "breaking into" CBS broadcaster Jim Nantz's house. 

While Manning has been out of football since he went out on top with a Super Bowl title in February of 2016, Brady is preparing for his first season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So, would Tom have the time?

If they're all in, the question then becomes, who gets Tiger and who gets Phil as a partner?
