Two of the greatest golfers of all-time will take each other on with $9 million on the line at Shadow Creek in Las Vegas. The match play will be featured on pay-per-view for $19.99.

In what could be the biggest matchup between these two teams since 2006 when the two teams were ranked one and two. This game has playoff implications as the loser most likely will miss out on the field of four and the winner will be in a prime spot in the College Football Playoff.

The Iron Bowl – Auburn at No. 1 Alabama, Saturday at 12:30pm on CBS
