Just read "The Match" is going to be pay-per-view :rolleyes:

I might be a miserable bastard but the fact the two lads are playing a game of golf for $9 Million in a glorified exhibition funded by sponsors kinda rubs me up the wrong way... better ways in life for $9 Million to go I’m sure.

Literally have 0 interest in it but judging by Twitter, people seem to be lapping it up.

backspin.

If they were putting their own money on the line and it was basically a 10 million dollar bet then it would be super interesting, if they have sponsor and the money goes to charity then maybe its mildly interesting. But if its a sponsor footing the bill and one of these two obscenely rich men get to keep this money then it is an obscenity.

Pure garbage

Surprised they’re not looking for some world ranking points

What’s ironic is Phil rarely played the match play until recently. I guess the ranking points were important now as starting to slip ranking.


The poster explains why woods sprays his driver.

The Americans will lap it up

Charity purse I reckon . . BUT . . I say they will have a tasty little wager on it ! This would have been more interesting 10 years ago.

Kinda like the Mayweather v Paquao fight, everybody wants to see it in their prime, now that they are past their best, it's a novelty show. Agree, if charity of winners choice gets the €9m, that's cool, if it goes to running a private jet, no thanks.

There used to be Shell Winderful World of Golf exhibition matches years ago, I think they were for charity, maybe this is an attempt to revive it for a weekend on which there is no comps.

Well, I'll be watching it

Ha ha, whoever photoshopped that photo needs their head examined, is it just me or is Tiger's driver left handed?

RikkFlair

^^ Heh spotted that too. Maybe make it interesting and swap clubs for the match? :pac:

Actually saw Phil hit a few right handed shots thru the years, be an easy win for him I'd say.

evillive

Then there will be a big drama playoff sponsors, advertisers, promoters etc would all love that, never happen right

Remember reading the Jimmy Connors bio when he played the heads up tennis matches in Vegas, took the cheque straight to the casino and all gone pronto, can't see Phil doing that, tiger might

AdamD

Isn't Phil known to be a massive gambler? Can imagine it going to charity anyways

Id say its just a mirrored image to get it to look good compared to Phil...people always forget that things like this happen when you mirror images.

slave1

If it was a mirror image his arms would be the opposite side surely, and the Nike logo will be mirrored too

PARlance

Can't see anything wrong with that image. Clubhead is as would be expected too.

HighLine

Spotted the bad photoshopping alright. They have photoshopped a new shaft and clubhead from the grip down. A poor effort.

def doesn't look right

If it was right handed the face would be facing down towards the ground, it's facing the sky so it's left handed

Actually yeah it's just a shopped shaft & head... There is a big diameter difference between shaft and grip if you zoom!

callaway92

Even the Nike symbol is photoshopped on.. who cares

Maybe to make it interesting they have to swap sets and play with their opponents clubs...:D

Tiger seems to have found something with his driver.... and now his putter is cold.

First Up

And as usual, the TV leaderboard has Tiger at the top of those on the same score. He is -1 through 10 but they have him positioned above those already finished on that score.

Those who disputed/denied this was happening are free to comment.

CalamariFritti

Only switching on now. So cant confirm yet.

I never disputed but said 'unlikely and if true unfortunate but so what'. I stand by that. If you're right you're right and I'd rather not see it but it's not going to make me dislike Tiger or think that he's bad for the game.

Reminds me of the oponeo site for selling tyres. You've got premium, medium and budget class tyres listed in decreasing order in the size you're looking for.

In the tyre world, Woods would be a premium class tyre, his name would be as far up the top as possible depending on his score.

Is it the right way to do it?Yes, I'm not looking for shìt tyres.

CalamariFritti

They're jinxing him! The moment they started talking how he's going to be a five-wins-per year guy again he started dropping shots. ffs

Could easily miss the cut now. One more mishap and he's gone I'd say.

Tiger back to the old reliable this week
