Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are not a pair in need of a bob or two, but the unbelievably wealthy duo have been photographed sitting in a pile of cash.

Either Woods or Mickelson will pocket an eye-watering $9 million (£7 million) as a result of the one-off exhibition.

Essentially, it is a pay-per-view match that will be winner-takes-all, with enormous side-bets along the way too. Indeed, the pair have already made a $200,000 side-bet on the first hole alone.

Naturally, someone decided it would be a good look to have each of the superstars photographed sat in a pile of money to illustrate the point.

The photo was posted on social media, and it immediately prompted a very angry reaction...

The photo did not go down at all well..

Congrats to the winner, who is going to be further bolstering their immense fortune.
