Are you Team Tiger or Team Phil?

The head-to-head battle golf fanatics have been wanting to see for years is finally happening.

On Black Friday, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson will go head-to-head in The Match, an 18-hole event in Las Vegas where the winner will take home $9 million. So yeah, bragging rights are definitely on the line, and juuuuuuuust a little bit of change, too.

Golf isn’t typically a one vs. one type of event, which makes this holiday showdown unique. For fans, there’s never been a better time to show off your #TeamBigCat or #TeamLefty pride.

So before the longtime rivals tee off on Friday afternoon, here’s some ways to proudly rep your guy leading up to and during The Match.

For Team Big Cat

Start off your apparel excursion with the Team Big Cat T-shirt and hat. Over at BreakingT, you can buy one Big Cat product and get the second item for 40 percent off.

If you’re looking to emulate the Tiger Sunday look, the classic red polo matched with his signature TW hat is a combo that can’t be messed with. You might still shoot a 90 on the golf course, but you’ll look hella sharp doing it.

For Team Lefty

The Mickelson squad can also order its BreakingT shirt and hat.

Details: Same rules apply; use promo code GOLF40 at checkout and save 40 percent on a second #TeamLefty item.

But, hey, maybe you’re into the button-down persona on the golf course and were one of the few fans intrigued by the new collection Mickelson debuted earlier this year. Calling all dads!

Don’t worry, we won’t judge too hard, but we can’t speak for your golf buddies.

Mickelson and Woods tee off on Friday at 3 p.m. ET. The Match, which will take place at Shadow Creek Gold Course in Las Vegas, will be available to order for $19.99 on B/R Live and the major cable providers.
