I’m betting @iacas would’ve hit better shots than both of them walking straight outta the crowd to the shot. What a mess.

I’m good from that yardage.

I was kinda surprised they didn’t play it with less spin to roll out a little down the slope.

I would have hit a better putt than Tiger on the 19th hole. That never had a chance.

P.S. Oh, the angle is wrong to run it down the slope. Never mind that part then.

Tiger, seriously, long again. Lame.

This is a dud ending to what turned into an interesting match at the end.

Phil wins. Back to hockey.

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

Thats what i was thinking. Some slope behind the hole. Just a jump one hop or something would be good.

Thank goodness Phil conceded that. Imagine The Match coming to a close with a missed five footer for “par”? Dumb.

They should play the 22nd hole Tiger lefty, Phil righty. 🙂

I think Tiger's tee shot on 22 is what Erik described earlier ...

This, but I didn't notice the P.S. part.

That was fun overall.  Glad I watched.   I want better PPV golf in the future though.

I don't recall one.    They both played poorly with a few good shots thrown in.   It would be interesting to see strokes gained/lost vs PGA average.

My first pay per view experience and I enjoyed it. The golf played today made me feel a little better about my game! I would have loved to have seen Charles Barkley play the first hole to see if he could be double bogey. Would have paid double the price. Ha ha
