"This event is designed to be a unique experience for a golf viewer, and to have an insight into what goes on with the players to create a production from drone coverage to on-screen gambling to live mics and interaction," said Mickelson on Tuesday.
"It's an insight into the game that you're not normally able to see. That's why we've chosen each decision. It's why it's on pay-per-view. We had to eliminate the commercials to have that insight in between shots."
And speaking of that pay-per-view decision, here's a look at the schedule of events so you can watch all the action on whatever device you want.
Woods or Mickelson could raise the stakes by challenging the other to a long-drive, closest-to-the-pin or similar competition during a hole, with the side bets coming out of the players' own pockets and benefiting various charitable causes.
The two players both said in their press conference on Tuesday that they believed the showdown would be well received by the viewers and attract new fans to the sport, as well as remaining adamant that the contest - only available on pay-per-view in America - was more about the money than helping to grow the game.
As well as the $9m winner-takes-all prize, the two rivals will be having other side bets for charity.
One side bet we know of already will begin straight away, after Phil Mickelson bet $200,000 on himself birdieing the opening hole at Shadow Creek in the pre-match press conference.
