Four NFL quarterbacks headline the newest Match, as Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers take on Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes at the Wynn.

Here’s a rundown of the previous matches. This is the sixth edition of The Match, and the first without a professional golfer. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers: Rodgers makes his return to The Match after teaming with Bryson DeChambeau to beat Mickelson and Brady in Montana last year. He made his first appearance teaming up with Phil Mickelson at Medalist, and while he took some heat for his poor play on social media, he at least provided the shot of the day. He teamed with Keith Mitchell in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am earlier this year. Sure, two former Match players are in it, but for the first time a professional golfer won’t be teeing it up.

Here's what you need to know about The Match, which features the Green Bay Packers' Aaron Rodgers competing at The Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas.

Given that the event is being broadcast on TNT, the announcing crew comes from this family of networks. No matter who wins between the players, the big winners are charities. He'll likely be at the American Century Golf Championship later this summer at South Lake Tahoe. This year's event is from July 6-10. Both teams take the lowest score between teammates. That will stream on Bleacher Report at 4:45 p.m. He'll take questions from fans. Of course, he would report to training camp a few weeks later, air out his frustrations and went on to win the league's MVP award for the fourth time. But this event will be unlike the others. Who are the other broadcasters for The Match? What are the betting odds for The Match? What is the format and scoring for The Match? Who are the teams for The Match? Brady, who is competing for the third time in the event, is going for his first win.

The Match: Rodgers Favored for First Birdie, Curse Word (Sports Illustrated)

Expect some trash talk (and some good golf) when Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady face Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen in The Match on Wednesday.

They are the favorites in the nearest-the-hole bets and are -122 to be the first team to lead 1-up. “Guys trash-talked each other and there was a lot of good s--- talk, and we knew who they were around the league. Rodgers is +25000 to get a hole-in-one. “And now, it's more buddy-buddy. “I said, ‘Who thought about this, you want to put the two best guys against the two worst guys?’ And that's not just conjecture, that's, like, facts.” Mahomes has one Super Bowl win and one MVP on his resume.

The Match 2022 golf odds, prediction for Tom Brady-Aaron Rodgers ... (Pro Football Network)

As the 2022 version of The Match is set to begin, what are the latest odds for the competition, and which props are available to bet on?

The most intriguing might be +50000 on a hole in one on any of the four par-3 holes or for any of the four golfers. You can also bet on which team will lead first, who will lead after the third, sixth, and ninth holes, and which team will win the most holes of each par variety. From a spectator’s point of view, the variety of options for betting on The Match has been one of the key elements. While Rodgers and Brady are the superior pairing, according to the numbers, the lack of known quantities makes this difficult to predict. When you look at the handicaps of the four golfers, it is no surprise that Rodgers and Brady are the favorites. The lack of a professional golfer makes this game tough to predict in many ways.

Trash talk is a part of 'The Match' every year before and during the event. This year, Aaron Rodgers is taking it to a new level.

This is certainly nothing new, as Mahomes has been compared to Kermit before, but then Rodgers took it a step further in an Instagram post, tagging Mahomes as Kermit the Frog. Come on." Maybe the hardest hit thus far came from Rodgers, who indicated that his generation of quarterbacks had to know how to actually talk trash compared to the younger generation in the NFL where everyone is too friendly.

The shoddy play and ridiculous pace made the project a bust, but TNT didn’t flinch. Mahomes carried his partner without a hitch, holing a par save to leave the match tied, then birdieing the 8th on his own ball to give the young guys their first lead. Rodgers has always projected himself as something of a smart aleck, but Brady? The NFL’s King of the Comatose Quote? Has he been raiding Mahomes’ cooler? Each of the first three holes were won with birdies, the first two by Brady/Rodgers, convincing Mahomes to crack open a beer earlier than he’d planned. A shortage of frazzled nerves was just one reason "The Match" worked this time.
