Tiger vs. Phil, Capitol One's The Match

[Nittany1997]

Go Phil!

Hope he beats Tiger today...

 

[Obliviax]

He has a side bet of $200,000 that he birdies the first hole

 

[BOSCO2]

I won't be watching, but the smack talking between those two should be world class.

FIGJAM Friday.

Big question is how many people are going to pay $20 to watch

They are having a watch party at my club. Might consider going.

Oops wrong Phil. Thought Al Golden finally checked into the Bedford Springs Hotel.

Let me think about this:
Do I want to spend $20 to watch two over-the-hill clowns— one a gamblin’ fool, the other a male hoe — play 18 holes to win my money???
God help me if I’m ever that bored or stupid.
I wouldn’t bite if they paid me the $20 to watch.
Entertainment is in the eye of the beholder. I work too hard for my money to flush it on something like this “event.”

At least we have Natalie Gulbis as an on course reporter.

May be biggest farce of all time. I hope nobody pays the money.

Phil 1 up after 3, Tiger missed a 5 footer on 2 for par. Phil lost the 200k bet on the first not being able to birdie. Hey, we are having a great time watching this. Good food, booze and company, what's not to like?

Phil 1 up after 9

so when is betting theses types of wagers allowed in the US?

I am sure the IRS is interested in the twitter feeds.

Tiger wins 17, all square heading to 18.

 

[MontereyLion]

Winnings go to charity.

 

[MontereyLion]

Winnings of their side bets that is.

 

[Nitwit]

Phil wins on 22nd hole.

 

[razpsu]

Phil rules!!!

Great to see Phil win. Well worth the $20 bucks. He also gets the Italian leather belt with a diamond golf ball in the middle..

Neither played well in the event. Lots of missed putts. Tiger was particularly disappointing in sudden death. Weird they had to play a 93 yard hole which was not even a regular hole on the course. Whatever, it was fun to watch but I thought the announcers weren’t very good. Tiger looked like the pressure got to him at the end.

 

[DonP74]

Tiger said his hands were cold for at least the last three holes and I'm not making that up.

 

[Relayer]

Pat Perez was awesome all day. Love his show on PGA Tour Radio. He tells it like it is. Needed more Natalie Gulbis on the telecast.

Vegas books had wagering available for just about everything imaginable, including live betting on every hole.

I would hope they have bigger fish to fry...

First Tiger, then Phil conceded missable putts that would have ended the match (on 18, then in the extra holes).

Classy, both wanted to win it vs. having the other guy lose it.

Yeah, that was really cool. I'm glad it was decided with a birdie.
