The match was played as teams with Woods and Manning taking on Mickelson and Brady. Woods and Manning emerged victorious.

“Phil said he was nervous, so imagine us,” Manning said afterward. “To go behind the ropes and get in these guys world and in the arena with them was really an incredible experience.

“I was not comfortable the whole time but raising $20 million as people are going through such tough times, it’s something I’ll always remember and cherish.”

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson contributed to the donations, offering up 100,000 meals if anyone hit it within 12 feet off the tee on the Par 3, 16th. Three golfers were able to put the ball close enough and he ending up donating 300,000 meals.

“It’s great, the fact that we all came together and we were able to raise $20 million for those that have been so severely affected,” Woods said, Gray. “This is our arena. This is what we do. We couldn’t imagine going out onto the field and doing what they do.”

The PGA Tour is scheduled to resume June 8 with the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas.

The matchup pits Tiger Woods and Peyton Manning as a team against Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady.

After being teased by commentator Charles Barkley, Brady holes-out on the seventh hole Par 5.

“Tiger thinks he has a huge advantage playing there. That’s fine. We’ll take it to him and Peyton, and there will be no excuses," Mickelson said before the match. "Tom and I are going to go down there and put it to them. We’ll make it so that every time Tiger shows up at his home course, he’ll have a bad memory.”

The group has been battling rain throughout the day. Twitter newbie Eli Manning, who's been live-tweeting the event, says the group should play on: "I’d keep playing. I don’t think the heavy stuff’s gonna come down for quite awhile."

13 holes in, Woods and Manning are 2 up over Mickelson and Brady.

The PGA Tour is set to return June 8 with the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas.
