Shaquille O'Neal is not shying away from letting it be known whom he thinks will win in “The Match 3,” a golf charity event that features Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, Charles Barkley, Phil Mickelson and Peyton Manning.
With the tournament beginning on Friday, O'Neal admitted to betting $100,000 on Curry's team to win the match.

The Warriors' sharpshooting guard is joined by Peyton Manning, the legendary NFL quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos, who has plenty of time to play golf after hiis retirement. On the other hand, Curry and Manning are facing Phil Mickelson, an accomplished golfer, and Charles Barkley.
Earlier this week, all of the athletes involved in the event took shots at Barkley for his golf game. It's well known that Barkley has an ugly-looking swing that appears like it could damage someone's back.
Charles Barkley, who works alongside Shaquille O'Neal on TNT's pregame and postgame shows for the NBA, is also known to have an ongoing comedic feud with Shaq. Therefore, it's no surprise that the Big Diesel would spend pocket money—according to his self-worth—on the Warriors superstar and Manning. Besides, Curry is known as an avid golfer and has spent countless hours on the golf course outside basketball.
Back in March, Manning already took part in a golf match with Mickelson on his team against Tiger Woods and Tom Brady. It was Manning and Mickelson who would prevail in that contest, giving everyone an exciting display of golf.
