“Stone Canyon is so much more than a spectacular golf course,” PGA Tour star Phil Mickelson said in a video tour of the course. “It’s an experience.” Mickelson’s group took over ownership of Stone Canyon in 2014. He will use his course for a made-for-TV charity event on Nov. 27.

The first one, held a year ago, was a one-on-one battle between decades-long rivals Tiger Woods and Mickelson at Shadow Creek golf Course in Las Vegas. May’s “The Match: Champions for Charity” featured Woods, Mickelson, Manning and star NFL quarterback Tom Brady in a two-on-two format at Medalist Golf Club in Hobe Sound, Florida.
