12 things we’d like to see at the Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson match in Las Vegas

Sam Greenwood(Photo by Sam Greenwood/Getty Images)Dreams do come true: much-hyped battle between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson is coming to fruition. The match is tentatively scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend, with ESPN reporting Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas will serve as host. Finally, something to truly be thankful for this November.
However, while the $10 million winner's payout has been touted, very little has been said about the parameters and particulars of the duel. Which is where we come in. Here are 12 things we'd like to see at the Tiger-Phil shootout.

Imagine receiving a front-row seat to Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel. That's this, times 50.

Phil Mickelson’s new ad for his button-down golf shirt is as hilarious and ridiculous as you might expect

Phil Mickelson turned heads at the Masters when he showed up at his Tuesday practice round with Tiger Woods in a long-sleeve button-down shirt. That nearly broke the Internet. Now an advertisement for the company that produces the shirt, Mizzen+Main, has been posted, and you're not going to be able to unsee it.
It's not quite Aaron Baddeley's MacGregor advertisement (Go Badds!), or Cleveland's trajectile dysfunction ad, but this Mickelson commercial is unlike anything you could've imagined Phil doing. Phil doing the worm? Yes, that's included. Karate chopping golf balls flying at him at a range that has been superimposed? Yep, that's in there, too. You need to see it:

Somehow Francesco Molinari doesn’t have any great stories yet of drinking out of the claret jug

Warren Little/R&AThe tales of Open champions celebrating afterward with the claret jug have become legend, and the fun has come to be expected. To the victor goes the spoils, right? (Ask Nick Faldo to tell you about what Greg Norman did with it.)
Truth be told, R&A chief Martin Slumbers is probably happier than he lets on that he gets the thing back in one piece after handing it out to the champion golfer of the year. (When the Challenge Belt was originally the reward for an Open victory, the winner had to offer up a deposit for its safe return.) Once in the possession of the claret jug, it’s likely that the winner will, well, “toast” his accomplishment, “soak in” the experience and “drink up” the moment.
Except if you’re Francesco Molinari, apparently.
Meeting with the press ahead of this week’s WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, his first start since becoming the first Italian to win a major championship with his victory at Carnoustie, Molinari confessed that he has yet to quench his thir..
