Most nervous shot, 1992 first PGA Tournament as an amateur at 16yrs old ..3w. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that before. 

[BallStriker]

Yup, just ordered it.......

[jmanbooyaa]

I think I will be ordering.

Does anybody know of a way for cable cutters to watch it?  Is PPV available for cable cutters?

You can watch it live online through bleacher report:

What I’m trying to figure out is for those of us who work tomorrow, how to record it. My cable company isn’t one of the partners offering it, so I can’t TiVo it.

As @Missouri Swede said. I’m a cable cutter. I’m set up to watch it through Bleacher Report. It’s available through the current Roku, FireStick and Google Play and Apple TV platforms.

I'm recording it on DirecTV, but I don't think it'll play after about 3pm on Saturday.

We'll talk about it here, live, so if you don't want spoilers… don't visit this topic tomorrow.

From Bleacher Report's site:

Will there be ways to take part in the action?

Yes.  You can play the "Pick'em Challenge: Capital One's The Match" hole-by-hole during the event.  The goal is to make predictions and build a streak.  Picking a perfect match will win $1 million, and the overall points leader will win an all-expense paid trip to Las Vegas.

I'm gonna guess like the Olympics and other events, it'll be available to stream on demand, if you bought it, for a limited period after the event, dunno, a couple of days? Kind like like a Mission Impossible self destruct DVR. This PPV event will self destruct in 60 seconds. Smoke...

It's important to remember today that someone could be off their game a little and it could be a real snooze. If Phil or Tiger put up a 75… Zzzzzzzzz. That's the risk in match play with only two players playing only 13-18 holes.

So that’s the $19.99 gamble

Yeah that’s what I’m hoping doesn’t happen. No amount of banter or jokes will override a snoozer match.

Just some info here. 

[lastings]

with side wagers and what not in play, and the fact it's PPV, I would guess they'll play the full 18 regardless of outcome.   

also, as the guys on the barstool sports golf podcast like to say, I would pay $20 to watch Tiger Woods go grocery shopping, so this is really a no-brainer for me.

Working through the last two days, including not remembering to do any golf practice (so I'm losing my 5minute marker until this time December), was worth it to watch this.  Of course, it would have been better if I had remembered to do some golf practice.  

So very very excited.
