Revisiting Shadow Creek: Remember when Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson squared off in The Match?

The 2020 CJ Cup will begin Thursday at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas.

This tournament had been held on South Korea’s Jeju Island last year, but COVID-19 necessitated a venue change.

The last time a major event graced Shadow Creek was Nov. 23, 2018, when Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson faced each other in The Match. Yes, that one.

With a $9 million purse on the line, one golf legend took on another in a winner-take-all match play event. Woods and Mickelson dueled to a draw after 18 holes, but Mickelson ultimately prevailed on No. 22.

Check out some of the best photos from that day — and the gorgeous surroundings at Shadow Creek — in this gallery below:
