Tiger vs. Phil in "The Match." **MERGED**

[BenSeattle]

This just in:

 

For Capital One’s The Match: Tiger vs. Phil

 

Blockbuster Pay Per View Event – Produced by Turner Sports – to Tee Off

 

Friday, Nov. 23, at 3 p.m. (EST)/Noon (PST) With a Suggested Retail Price of $19.99

 

PPV Event Reflects New AT&T Combined Resources, Available Through

 

Turner’s B/R Live, AT&T’s DIRECTV, U-verse and Other TV Providers

 

 

I've said all along that my interest in this cash-grab fiasco is ZERO. Two forty-somethings, long past their prime, now buddies, promising nothing more than mediocre golf and some not-so-nasty "smack talk" won't be worth a dime. And now they want to charge 20 bucks for an event that means NOTHING.

 

Oh, and it might be fun to jet off to Vegas and check this thing out in person? Nope. No tickets for 'real' spectators; only gallery will be friends, family, VIP's and sponsors. (FIGJAM and Woodhead are said to be donating some proceeds to charity. Have at it, boys, if that makes you feel any less guilty for staging this unneeded rip-off.)

 

Include me out. You?

[kwcsports]

I'll pass.

[GSDriver]

I can drink $20 worth at any bar in an hour, we'll be watching, going to be fun after early morning tee-time.

[elwhippy]

I can buy some decent coffee, some beer and a sleeve of balls for that. Count me out. As an old colleague would say "two bald men fighting over a comb"...

[Qqq123xx]

I should be paid to watch it.

[Frankensteins Monster]

 

Providers for the pay-per-view will include Turner's B/R Live platform, DirecTV, AT&T U-verse and others.

The match, which will be played on the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas, will begin at noon locally (3 p.m. ET).

The winner will take home the entire $9 million pot.

During the match, Woods and Mickelson will make side challenges against each other, with winnings being donated to the golfer's charity of choice.

Sources said fans won't be able to watch the matchup live in person, as there will be no on-site tickets sold.

[sfiggins]

I’m much more interested in seeing Shadow Creek than 2 golfers on the down side of their careers so I’ll wait til it’s streamed for free.

[bscinstnct]

Sorry TW and Phil

 

But from me

 

[lefty1978]

Only $20. I'm in.

[BoogieThumper]

Cant Wait!

[Golfer4Life]

Right! Lol....

[Big Ben]

I just don’t get this one but have fun!

[Oldboy]

i predict they actually lose money on this and donate $0.00

[BrianMcG]

Wouldn’t it just be something if Tiger’s chipping yips came back and Phil hits them everywhere like he did at the Ryder Cup. This would go down of one of the biggest PPV catastrophes ever.

[NJpatbee]

Made for TV "Reality Golf" cash grab. I will definitely pass.

[Bensdad]

I'm not that hard up for something to watch, especially two forty-somethings playing for someone else's money. Like all of you, I'll pass.

[tbowles411]

I may feel differently later but I may pony up the cash. The in-laws will be here for T-Giving and I will probably need the diversion (hiding place)! :cheesy:

[MtlJeff]

Who is the market for this I wonder. I love golf, like both guys, and use 20's to light the 100's that I use to light my cigars....and I still am not interested in the slightest

[VNutz]

[BIG STU]

I would just assume to turn my TV around backwards and look at the tubes---- OOPS Just remembered TVs do not have tubes anymore--- Senior Moment--- But I am not senile enough yet that I would throw away $20 to watch that!!! :to_become_senile: :swoon:

[BrandonDunes]

The city of Las Vegas is sad that were losing out on money from tourists coming to visit our great town!

[aliikane]

I don't have DirecTV or ATT so I'll just get the GolfWRX play-by-play.

[MarkFromTheUK]

GO KING PHIL!!!

[TinkerGolfMan]

$20 is the price of admission to play a local executive course. You gonna pay $20 to play golf that day and be mad at all your horrible shots, or you can watch 2 greats battle it out! LOL

[LeoLeo99]

You started a thread about something you have ZERO interest in? :huh:

[Conrad1953]

Meh be.........not!..........meh be not............meh be not!!!!!

Or, I could get a cheeseburger deluxe and mozzarella sticks.

 

And a soda!

[sheldonjhacker]

I'll be sure to watch :russian_roulette: :russian_roulette: :russian_roulette:

[NevinW]

I'm in.

[sdandrea]

I'd be in if the $20 included a bucket of wings, a pitcher of Diet Coke (with refills), bleu cheese, celery, my own booth, and dessert.
