closest to the pin for $100k

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 announcers who keep talking over the players. SHUT UP.

Id like to listen to phil and tiger talking, not commentators. They keep cutting them out. Only 3 holes in but hopefully we see more banter and betting

This.

My wife just commented: you paid 20 bucks and you still have to listen to the announcers?!

[dennyjones]

I've lost 4 of the first 5 holes!   Tells you I don't know Phil...or Tiger..

[phillyk]

Seriously when have we seen Phil hit the fairway like this? Driver so far looks great! And finally Tiger hit a straight ball. 

 

And I still can’t hear the golfers talk. Whats the point of havinng them mic-ed up if the announcers don’t want us to listen to them...

I’m underwhelmed so far. This is kinda boring.

Lol!

I hope the banter picks up. But I am enjoying it. 

[Shindig]

I'm enjoying, but I really enjoy these two when they're playing.  One birdie apiece so far though, both with birdie putts coming up.

I put down the computer and we had lunch (moved where we're casting the match). 

... and Tiger misses his birdie. 

[Missouri Swede]

One of the announcers is now commenting about what “we” heard in  conversation between a player and his caddie. While tiger and Phil are talking with their caddies and we can’t hear a thing. 

[dennyjones]

Pre-game, Tiger said there would be about 7 - 8 birdies.   They have work to do to make that quota.  

[Shindig]

Okay, par-5 time.  They both birdied the last one.

Yep.

[Shindig]

Tiger with the better drive. 

Also, Phil is not a hot putter away from being 6up.  He's a hot putter away from being 5up.  The first par-5 wasn't putter issues with him not winning the hole. 

Colt Knost's proposal that each should have Barkley hit a shot for them at some point...

And another commercial... i mean they are not a true commercial because of it being barkely and sam jackson but i still didnt pay $20 to watch commercials. This is definitely a little disappointing so far.

Same here. And I could do just fine to not hear Jacobsen talk over Phil and Tiger. Seriously...Jacobsen, we don’t care what you have to say. 

[phillyk]

Wow a rare fluff from phil... tried to be too aggressive. I was surprised he went w a 64 wedge

[Shindig]

"Phil not getting up and down is like Santa not coming on Christmas" ... great commentary there, much better than hearing Phil or Tiger's reaction to the shot, much added value.
