I think it ends on the 16th hole, with Tiger winning 3&2.

But I don't really care as long as it's entertaining.

The result of the round will not change how I view their careers even the tiniest little bit.

Agree. I hope there is a lot of fun banter between them too. It should be fun and I am not going anywhere near a store that day anyway.

And swearing. Phil said there would be. It is PPV after all.

I think it’d be awesome to have Samuel Jackson and Pat Perez announcing the round in the ‘Muppets Judges’ style.

Caddying! Samuel L would be an awesome caddy.

"You are NOT going to try that M-fing shot!"

"Someone get those M-fing Patrons off the M-fing fairway!"

"Yo! Phil! What's in YOUR wallet? $9 Million???"

I think this would have been cool to do like they did i think around 99 with woods and duval. Wide world of sports special. But then again the censorless aspect of PPV will be fun if they actually talk a little $hit.

I am trying to understand why I have absolutely no interest in this match. I am a golf addict, stay glued to The Golf Channel, watch all the tours but from the moment I heard about this I have had no interest. I like both Tiger and Phil. I thought as we got closer I would become more interested.  I used to watch the Shell Wonderful World of Golf as a child and enjoyed it.  I guess it seems to me we have seen this match-up 4 times a year for years in the major championships. I would like to get excited about it. Is there something I am missing?

I wonder if LaCava will have a Poker Stars hat on or something else.  It is Vegas.  😀

Fairways and Greens.

I was in the same boat.  I think the reason why I'm more interested now is because it isn't about the golf match.  The golf side of it is meh because there's nothing really new and not worth spending $20 for.  But, I think it's about listening to their conversations and talking crap to one another, hopefully the whole round, that makes it worth it.  You rarely get this deep into the minds of professional golfers as they play, especially two golfers with such a history/rivalry.

No.

And my thoughts exactly as well.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
