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

[Terry Gold]

I honestly don't think Rory was defending himself or using the media or any of that with this statement. Its simple, he's right, this match is 15 years past its prime. And there is nobody that can say they would rather watch this match now than 15 years ago. Stop reading into everything that is said and take it at face value.

 

Do I want to pay $20 to watch a match that probably wont be competitive or do I want to watch it 4 hours after the match for free or go to a bar and see if its on and eat with that $20? I'm pretty sure I know what I am choosing.

 

I'm a big Tiger-fan myself, but even I can't understand this level of irrationality, insecurity and projection stemming from other Tiger-fans. They hang on so tight it's like an extreme mindless cult.

 

A cult following by definition is extreme and mindless.

And happy Thankgiving to all my best (and only) friends on golwrx. You too, cr ; )

 

Happy Turkey Day to you too Pal ! Drinking grape koolaid with my turkey this afternoon ! You know. To keep up the cult motif.

 

Amazing how Rory is allowed to change his mind and/or stance on things and little old me can say he might have been hasty speaking in absolutes and I'm still a " mindless extremist fillled With hate "...., lol. We love you too CR. I'd be happy to practice a little tolerance and understanding and less speaking in absolutes if you could manage a little less condescension with your life's lessons. In the spirit of the season and all.

 

 

Gross, man.

So Sky Sports are showing it, they must have secured it very late as it wasn't showing on the schedule the other day and I hadn't seen any promo until the World Cup of Golf round 2 coverage.

 

I'm skeptical about this match but I won't deny I will probably watch some of it out of curiosity, I wouldn't have paid extra for it via PPV.

 

Yes I am also surprised Sky aren't charging for this. Nice to know it'll be on a proper channel tonight though rather having to find a stream online.

Free on Sky Sports golf, here's a stream for those who wanna watch

brilliant news!

 

was worried we wouldn't be able to watch it in the UK

[scott_Donald]

As soon as this was talked about I was like I am certainly not going to pay for it and really couldn't care less.

 

Then just looked there that here in Scotland it is being shown on Sky Sports, now I might watch now I don't have to pay directly for it!

I was literally just coming on here to say the same thing! Sky Sports announced it last night and my thoughts on the matter completely changed...something to do on an otherwise much needed quiet Friday night.

Why the hell is it $29.99 on DirecTV? Is that a 4K charge or something?

 

I got HD ( which i assume is 4k?) on dish for $19.99....There was an option of that as an upgrade over the 14.99 regular version ..... I hate Direct.. takes 3 days to change channels..the delay is maddening !

 

4K is not HD. HD is 1080 and is $19.99 for the match. The $14.99 version is SD.

Don’t mistake someone pointing out the reality (toxicity) of your own stated words as “condescension”… and that’s your ego getting offended now, you are not your ego my friend. Personally I’m always open to “learning” in life through its many forms and places.

Wishing you and your family well.

who really gives two fs what lame arse rory "no fire" has to say? dude will likely be doing whatever his lady tells him. little whipped b****!

Clearly quite a few “give two fs” as many of you have been whining about his words repeatedly. All I’m saying is lets not pretend when many peoples actions and words clearly prove otherwise.

[nichho]

Who won?

[braincramp52]

Who won?

 

They haven't played yet. It's today.

[Roody]

Why the hell is it $29.99 on DirecTV? Is that a 4K charge or something?

 

That's the 4K option. If you buy the normal one on channel 123 it's $19.99

[dropkicked]

Does anyone think the $200k side bet on the first hole (and any subsequent side bets) are real?

 

I mean they kinda make for some interesting smack talk, but at the end of the day..... I really wonder if any of their own money will change hands.

What makes you think they would script this?

-Golfers, throughout our history have been gamblers and make some crazy bets...

 

PPV, isn't going away.. This is just the start of a yearly match in the making..

[gatorpedsMD]

I heard tiger looking jacked.

[OldTomMorris]

Has all the rough been cut down.

The match is definitely polarising opinion.

[bigdaddyj]

Not really a huge fan of either player and I doubt I would watch much of it if it were shown for free. I wouldn’t do PPV no matter who the two players were.

[GolfTurkey]

.....but whatever the reason (unable or unwilling), I do insist in YOU and your supporters taking responsibility for your actions/inactions when conversing.

....And once again you’re STILL missing the central point I’m making (let me say it another way for you).

-An empty can makes more noise, than a full one...

 

 

Cool off or run away?

[mikkav]

Where is the 9 million coming from

Not even if it were Keegan Bradley vs Miguel Jimenez? :D

[Holy Moses]

PPV money, TNT, sponsors

I believe CaptialOne, is also a sponsor for the match..

I don't understand the disdain.. Faldo, talks about not mentioning prize money? FedEx Cup's $10 Million prize is always talked about.. They always talk about how much the tourney champ is taking home for first prize. So Faldo, must be confused in his old age.

Pepperell, must be off his meds.. He would take that $9 Million purse in a hearbeat..

 

Issues firmly rooted in Envy/Jealousy..

[bladehunter]

Well. If 1 million subscribers pay $19.99........

[BlackDiamondPar5]

Based on the relative lack of interest here on WRX, the most avid golfers on the planet, they'd be doing exceptionally well to get 1M subscribers.

[dmb3535]

Sorry if this has been asked and sorry if offends any of you all, but does anyone know the best way to watch for free? I watch ufc and boxing ppv and frontrow sports and places like that, (even youtube sometimes) and Ia m stuck at work and would like to have it on my ipad or desktop. PM me if you all know a successful way to watch for free. Thanks

As a point of comparison, Wrestlemania and big UFC events are mostly in the 1-1.5 million range.

Pay for it you cheapskate. Find a friend or a bar who has it maybe.

And yet a couple of days before that Eddie was happily tweeting views from his hotel room in the Maldives, so he's hardly innocent himself. Don't get me wrong I like the guy, just don't agree with him in this case - pictures like that are why youngsters get into golf in the first place, dreaming of being the next Tiger or Phil - or even the next Eddie. Biggest issue I have with it is putting it on PPV for you folks across the Atlantic - 30 bucks if you want it in 4K is taking the piss as we would say.
