The venue and date were confirmed on Thursday as the golfing and NFL greats do battle to raise funds for COVID-19 relief.
WarnerMedia and the golfers are donating $10million towards the cause, a statement said on Thursday.
Woods/Manning will take on Mickelson/Brady in a team matchplay with a four-ball format on the front nine and modified alternate shot format on the back nine, with the event sanctioned by the PGA Tour.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unimaginable tragedy and heartbreak,” WarnerMedia news and sports chairman Jeff Zucker said.
“We’re hopeful this event and platform will help raise meaningful funding for COVID-19 relief, while also providing a source of brief distraction and entertainment for all sports fans.”
All players will have open mics throughout the event, which comes with most sports around the world brought to a standstill by coronavirus.
There have been more than 270,200 deaths from COVID-19.
Mickelson and Woods previously faced off in a match in November 2018, when the former won on the fourth play-off hole.
