It's the Splash Bros versus the Super Bowl champs.
The Match, a charity golf exhibition featuring star athletes, returns for an eighth installment this week with a pair of high-profile teammates from both the NBA and NFL.
The sharp-shooting Golden State Warriors backcourt of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson will take on the lethal Kansas City Chiefs connection of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce.
