KP is what they call Closest to the Pin on Tour. Disc golfers call it "CTP." And Phil earns $100k for his charity. Tiger is about 50’ away to Phil’s 7’10”. This is boring. And screw the annou

Is there a Vegas line on how long the round will last?

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.

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.

"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.  😀

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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
