i'd take phil, he likes to cheat.

if the PGA was an indication, Phil's game is not close to Tiger's. Wouldn't pay to watch it.

PPV... fuck that shit

Yeah, had a little interest before, now dgaf.

I’d turn the channel to it from time to time but to pay for it? That’s a joke. There is going to be so much down time with just 2 guys on the course and who pays to watch golf?

I ordered the golf channel, but canceled it within a couple of weeks. Wasn't worth the money.

PPV for an exhibition match? I was going to watch, but screw that. They must be joking. I thought it might be fun to see how they act with each other and the crowd as they compete. I guess I'll have to read about it. But it's not as if either of them is Lee Trevino when it comes to that sort of thing, so I doubt I'll miss much.

Making this PPV is a huge mistake that I think the powers that be will correct as the date gets closer. Plus they should have made it just one million dollars, but their own money. Make the loser hand a briefcase of the money in cash to the winner.

Listening to Stugotz on sports radio this morning...he had a good idea. Every Thanksgiving golf should have a grudge match televised. Next year could be Tiger/Phil Versus DJ/Koepka or Spieth/Justin Thomas.....something besides NFL for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I’m surprised turner thinks it will
Make more money selling this as a ppv instead of putting it on a turner network and selling commercial time. There is going to be a shitload of down time

That was first reaction as well. I wouldn't watch this at gunpoint.

So it appears that this should cost around $40. I am kind of the same opinion as others here that this shouldn't be on PPV. This is also on the Fri after Thanksgiving which is typically a time when folks stay at home & watch other sports. It this were say being shown at a bar with either no cover or a small cover I might consider it.

Also note that HBO will having one of those 24/7 series for this event (similar to what they do for the big boxing matches). That should be fun to watch & might spark a little more interest. However - they may just be getting a bit too greedy for this one.

This is about 5 yrs too late...interesting they would attempt a PPV with this (guess no network would touch it?)....the purse sounds really high, but @ about $60 a head they only need a couple hundred thousand people to belly up to this.

I won't be one of them.

I had very little interest in watching this before I heard it would be a PPV event yesterday and now I have zero interest.

I agree that for these two guys the match is 5 years too late and it might be a bit more interesting if they were putting up their own money, winner take all.

Making it PPV was a huge mistake. Anything over $30.00 , the sales will be a complete embarrassment to all involved.

Real risky putting Tigers popularity to a real test.

Immediately following it will be Jordon vs Bird for $50 pay per view.
