Woods, Mickelson, Manning and Brady will each ride in a tailored E-Z-GO Freedom RXV ELiTE car while playing the 18-hole course at Medalist Golf Club. Woods’ and Mickelson’s cars will be auctioned during the All In Challenge and bidding will close at the end of the match.

“At their core, E-Z-GO vehicles promote connection, helping people make the most out of simple, everyday activities,” said John Collins, TSV vice president, Personal Transportation Vehicles. “In an E-Z-GO, you can really experience your neighborhood or nature, without any barriers between you and the world around you. That’s something many of us are looking for these days.”
