Will you pay to watch Tiger v Phil?

[pbr2121]

Maybe the title of the post should have been "who is going to say the they aren't going to watch but really will?"

[golfho50]

No...unless they each put up their own money (which would never happen). You would have to pay

me $100+ to watch this scam.

[PGArox]

WFAN's Mike Francesa brought up an interesting issue with the format. Since it's a two-man televised live event, what are they going to show between shots? I guess it could work, but there's going to be a lot of down time that they will have to fill.

 

Commercials, of course. :)

[2Bad4u]

No i will stream it

 

What a waste of bandwidth.

[Foreleft]

What banter?

 

They will be walking to the rough on opposite sides of the fairway.

[drbonesvt]

Now if they show footage of tiger going out for the evening or at a Vegas ballet establishments and Phil gambling, count me in

All you lame a** people syaing gonna be sitting on this forum reading the discussion for it all night lmao

 

Thinking u fighting the system by saying no

 

It's gnna be fun,CAN'T WAIT TO see them trash talk and chirp

 

 

 

and if it's popular, probably gonna happen again between other golfers

 

Leave it to the elite old fks on a golf forum to tear it apart and say they ain't gonna watch it to feel like they playing the system the only thing your missing out on is great entertainment lol

If that was true, wouldn't the entire post be in Spanish?

[handicap122003]

Hell yes.

[TheMoneyShot]

I’ll pay for it.

[handicap122003]

Hell yes I will pay. $25 for my wife and I (both live and die by tiger fans) and cheaper than a movie.

[sixtysevensixtyseven]

I can't believe it's going to be on PPV. I think it's going to be a failure and the poll results kind of go with my opinion.

 

I know it would never happen but I might be enticed to pay to see it if they duked it out at August one on one but I don't really care to see them play each other at Shadow Creek.

See? The banter is already way better than PPV will ever be.

 

Someone will edit all the shots into a nice compact youTube video; good enough for me.

 

PPV golf is a completely stupid idea.

[Conrad1953]

Tiger and Phil won't lose any money on this but some are going to.

[dan360]

If the gallery was made up of 50% super hot groupie sluts with names ending with an "i" and 50% bookies with names like Paulie Walnuts then maybe.

 

Especially if they were allowed to chatter.

 

"Tiger hunny I want a baby.."

 

"Yo Phil--double or nothin you make this. No pressure."

 

 

 

That would be great.

Ya, now you're talking. They gotta keep it unreal.

We could go further.

 

Make Tiger play left handed

 

Make Phil play high on painkillers.

PPV, unbelievably cheezy.

[Edaw68]

Isn't this just going to be like the Chuck/Wandy fight when it finally happened?

That was a pretty good fight, but yeah, shoulda been five years earlier.

[Dave230]

I don't get the point of this being PPV.

 

There's a chance that these two get drawn together during the season. They play in the same tournaments 20 times a year. You can't compare that to boxing where sometimes they only box maybe once a year. You've seen maybe 50 hours of these two over the season, why pay for another 18 holes? They'll also be back playing in a month or two anyway.

 

And you'd pay extra to watch them on their own on a PGA Tour-standard course? (if it was somewhere exclusive top ranked in the world course like Pine Valley, Cypress Point etc, I could see some appeal)

[BlackDiamondPar5]

Polls been up for +4 days and 63% of the most avid golfers on the planet said they won't pay to watch the match. That's not good news for the guys that bought the broadcast rights.

[getair23]

No, says everyone. Until it's 5 minutes before the match, they are a few deep, and need something to distract them from the in-laws.

[SheriffBooth]

Cleaned up some language and off-topic stuff.

[KyGolf]

Would not pay to watch it. Would not watch it if it was free. Mickelson is dead to me, never really cared that much for Woods.

[tw_focus]

$25 is a bargain, not worth complaining over. You spend $25 on parking for a sports event or on two sleeves of balls, paying $25 to watch the two greats of this era go head-to-head is a good investment.

 

Remember there will be no commercials, no sponsorship. It's just you and the players. It's a different model for funding golf, either you can watch commercials for 25 minutes per hour (pay with your time) or pay $25 to watch (pay with your wallet). Good to see TW and Phil trying something new.

This is a much better investment for $25. And I could get 2 sodas!
