Woods, McIlroy set for showdown at Mission Hills

The world's top ranked golfer, Tiger Woods, and his immediate predecessor, Rory McIlroy, will wield their Nike clubs in The Match at Mission Hills at Haikou , Hainan Island, on Monday.

The 18-hole exhibition on the par-73 Blackstone Course at the massive 180-hole resort will be the second one-on-one showdown in China between two of the game's most popular players.

McIlroy edged Woods by a stroke at a chilly and damp Lake Jinsha International Golf Club, Zhengzhou, Henan province, last year.
