    Unbelievably I paid the 20$ and am glad I did.
    My wife and 2 girls were riveted as much as I, even without fast forwarding.
    Everything went down as expected.
    It was nice to see Tiger and Phil work together to create this, as well as their interactions, there was some memorable interactions, albeit few of them.
    But what can you expect?
    What made this mano a mano interesting is that it was for enough cash to get these two ultra rich golf titans so tight they looked like joe blows closing out a nassau at the muni.
    But at other times, especially when Tiger chipped in, it was also well worth the price of admission for the moments of brilliant golf.
    I would love to see this grudge match again and again for decades, without having to pay.
    Tiger can do this with various other guys like the Golden Boy. It would also be awesome to see Tiger and Phil pair up…again without making us pay.
    I love this mad eto entertain matches.

      At least there’s one person out there who liked it, thanks Baxter……as for the rest of us, it totally sucked….between Phil’s constant heavy mouth-breathing and Tiger’s runny nose, it was simply awful…..lousy golf, announcers talking over the players, noisy drone in the air, Jake was horrible, but you’re right about the chip-in, one good moment out of nearly five hours of total misery as far as I’m concerned.

        Tony from PTi on Espn had his critiques —mainly that Chuck shouldnhave been walking with the boys instigating smack talk and bets— but Kornheiser said he would watch it ‘over and over again’.
        It was entertaining.
        Theres definetely room for improvement but golf geeks love this stuff.
