The sixth edition of The Match has been fully co-opted by the NFL. Four of the league's biggest quarterbacks will be hitting the links together in two-man teams: veterans Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers vs. next-gen Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen.The Match has had several different formats over the years, but for the first time a profe sional golfer won't be involved. Also for the first time, it is being played at the same club as the year before: Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas.The Match is played for charity, which makes the vibe somewhat casual. There's nothing casual about these four quarterbacks, however, so expect some chirping out on the course anyway.Brady is playing in NFL Houston Texans Jersey his third Match. He played in the second edition in May 2020, featuring he and Phil Mickelson against Peyton Manning and Tiger Woods. He also played in The Match 5 last November, with Rodgers as one of his opponents.MORE MATCH:The Match 6 rules & formatThe Match 6 will use a shamble format, which requires each team to use its best drive and then play to the hole. Shamble play, unlike a scramble, requires each golfer to get to the hole on their own after the tee shot, a slight variation of traditional "best ball" golf.The best score from each side will count for that Deshaun Watson Jersey hole. There will be 12 holes in this edition of The Match.What is match play in golf?Most profe sional tournaments use stroke play, but there are notable exceptions, such as the WGC Match Play and Volvo World Match Play Championship and team events such as the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.In match play, a player or team wins a hole when they take fewer strokes than their opponent. The number of strokes is reset for the next hole it has no bearing on any succeeding holes.When opposing players or teams both take the same number of strokes on a hole, the hole is a tie, or "halved."How does shamble scoring work?In shamble scoring, players pick the team's best drive but then are forced to play to the hole on their own. It's more challenging in the sense that there's no safety net on the approach: if a player botches it, they still have to get to the hole on their own.However, in The Match 6, only one score the better score will Darius Anderson Jersey be used per hole. That's a small luxury for each team, but with four hypercompetitive NFL quarterbacks playing, bragging rights will be on the line. Brady won't be happy if his team's entire score is from Rodgers, who is arguably the best golfer of this foursome.What is the 12-hole challenge at Wynn Golf Club?Used in Bryson DeChambeau vs. Brooks Koepka in The Match 5, Wynn Golf Club devised a 12-hole challenge that will be making its return this year.The idea was simple, the execution le s so: Whatever holes would look best on TV would be the ones that got played."We drove around with the Turner folks and they chose the ones that would be best on camera and would work in terms of length," Scott Cowan, Wynn'sdirector of golf operations, said, . "So it had a lot with camera angles and flow."Best ball rules in golfBest ball rules are usually used in team play. Under these rules, only Garret Wallow Jersey the lowest individual score on a team counts toward its score for the hole.For example: Two teams (A and B) are composed of two players each. Team A's two golfers both shoot 1 under par on a given hole; Team B's golfers shoot 2 over and 2 under, respectively. Team A's official score for the hole would be 1 under, and Team B's would be 2 under. That means, under match play rules, Team B would be awarded the point as it produced the lowest individual score for that hole.
