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

[Well Played]

The commentating ruined this... ended up being no different than an NBC broadcast with Jacobson’s raspy voice bloviating for hours

[golfnoob25]

Happy for Phil.

 

Still feels like a tie to me

[gripandrip]

I'll bet Phil announces a significant charity donation right here....

 

To the local bookies in Vegas

 

Lets hope for a donation...

[mrikking]

$20 well spent. Lol glad for Phil

[Golfnutgalen]

Good for Phil, he played better all day long.

[Holy Moses]

Does Tim get 10%?

[bscinstnct]

Who else is counting the days until next years rematch!

[Blujacket]

Glad it was free to watch

[Dill Pickleson]

There has to be a wink and a nod, Tiger seems too content with losing out on 9 million.

[ckay]

PPV just stopped right at 8:00....

 

We got our money's worth LOL. Or did we?

I’m calling PPV and getting a refund.

[dcmidnight]

Directv ppv feed is still going.

[gripandrip]

nope

[Mr. Grumpy]

This is the best part of the day....

[gioreeko]

Since both of them are from CA, would love to see whoever wins this turn around and give it to the CA wildfire relief funds.

 

No chance Tiger would

 

Mother Nature is trying to teach California a lesson.

 

WTF is wrong with you???? Seriously???

[TreyWingbat]

Phillip with the belt jokes.

[Holy Moses]

I liked the idea overall. Would have been a lot better had they played better, trash talked, and thrown in some interesting side bets. None of that happened.

[DatSliceDoe]

Well, that was interesting. Maybe it can be an annual event at best. I do not see it happening any time soon though.

[Mr. Grumpy]

Still shoulda called a bigger plug for their charities... Missed opp with all that green front and center.

I bet they made a deal before this started that it’s 50-50 split behind the scenes. Either way I’m sure they both are coming out wallets a little fatter!

[PorscheFan]

Wow. Phil was so competitive yet so gracious at the end. My new golf hero.

[dcmidnight]

Phillip with the belt jokes.

 

"See they made it in Tiger size, they thought you were going to win."

 

Hahaha, that was great, it was way too small for Phil.

 

Tiger was definitely enjoying that.

[imakaveli]

Thank god this is over.

[GMR]

Sky Sports commentators doing little to hide their disdain haha... "and now back to the REAL golf"

[Johnnypenso]

Don't know if it's posted here or not but this is live on Bleacher Report now:

what?!?!?!

I watched it live on Bleacher Report. I only just got home so I only saw from 17 on but it was live on the web.

[golfho50]

Maybe tiger will not try to stiff Phil of the $200,000 bet....like he used to stiff his Stanford teammates when he

lost a bet....per Notah Begay.

What, the Joe Fillipa Classic sponsored by Fred's Steakhouse of Peoria, Illinois?

[GungHoGolf]

So I paid for it on B/R. Had a few glitches but nothing major. Are they giving refunds?

Therein lies the problem with 1 vs 1 on TV. Shell's Wonderful World did this for years. I still remember a video of Byron Nelson beating someone at Pine Valley on that show and I think his opponent shot over 85. It looked like one of us out there. Seriously. The guy topped some shots. Hogan beat Snead by 10+ shots once. It was all bad TV. You can't control when somebody doesn't have it that day

And now the PR disaster for BR and PPV begins in earnest.
