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.

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.

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.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
