DJ Khaled, who himself is an avid golfer, has previously hosted the 'We The Best Foundation Golf Classic' charity golf event. His love for the game is evident through his social media profile where he frequently shares his videos of playing golf. It would undoubtedly be a treat for the fans to listen to his commentary in the tournament.
The Match, which started in 2018, has featured sports stars in its previous editions. From Steph Curry to Travis Kelce, there have been several big names who have been part of the tournament over the years.

All about The Match
The Match is an exhibition golf event, which started in 2018 and features professional golfers and renowned athletes from other sports.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson went head-to-head in the inaugural edition where the latter won the tournament. The second edition was held in a team format where Woods paired up with Peyton Manning while Mickelson was with Tom Brady. This time, Woods and his teammate Manning emerged victorious over Brady and Mickelson.
In the third edition, Mickelson paired up with Charles Barkley and registered victory over Stephan Curry and Peyton Manning by 4&3.
Partnering with Brady, Mickelson also participated in the fourth edition of The Match, held at The Reserve at Moonlight Basin, but lost to Bryson DeChambeau and Aaron Rodgers.
The next edition was again a one-on-one tournament between Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau. That year, Koepka defeated DeChambeau by 5&3 score.
