Phil looked as sharp as a guy who is on his 11th hour loading an Amazon warehouse on Dec 23rd.  

I really hope it's not a blowout. Anti-climaxes suck.

I think pairs challenge matches would be fun.  Tiger and Phil take on the world.  Lots of interesting pairings, including some international ones.  Kaymer and Langer.  Sergio and Cabrera-Bello.  Rory and McDowell.  Poulter and Westwood.  

And domestically, Fowler and Spieth.  Johnson and Thomas.  Bubba and Reed.

Just to do some spitballing.

Tiger and Phil as a pair? Didn't work well in the Ryder Cup in 04...

That was 14 years ago, as you know. Things have changed.

Wouldn't have really made a difference this year, I don't think, though.

Very true. Mickelson is much much worse now...

LOL if you pair them, you only lose 1 point instead of 2.

We aren't talking about the Ryder Cup.

I’ve heard hype about them being on mics so we can hear the trash talk. I’m not too interested in that. And it’s a gamble. If Tiger has Phil 5 down how much smack can Phil really give? Only two scenarios give me any interest: It’s actually really tight and it appears each really wants to win....or Tiger just totally Steven Aimes Phil.

Had a little chuckle, when someone on another site brought up the fact that atleast this time, one of them is guaranteed to win a match. 😁

My daughter is hearing rumblings that the company she works for is getting some comp tickets. If she does get them, and passes one or two my way, I would probably go see it. The course is a very nice walk, and the golf would be a plus.

Like others, I think Woody is going to easily win this contest.

Let´s make a virtual match against tiger and phil with what they score on the single match at the ryder cup. (just 4 fun)

Tiger   4 3 4 5 4 4 5 3 3 4 3 3 5 6 4 3 4
Phil     5 3 5 5 5 3 5 3 -  4 2 5 4 5 4 - 

Phil concedes 9th hole to be 3 down against tiger.
Been 1 down on the 16th, phil hit the water, tiger makes par to win the hole and be 2 up and 2 to play.
With 4 on the 17th hole Tiger is really close to win the match.

In just 18th holes everything can happen between to great players. Tiger is playing better but i think that the difference in 18th holes are minimal. Maybe 55% Tiger, 45% Phil.

It'll be funny if Phil buckles down, gets his game in order and wins.

It is a possibility.  

He’d have to do more than that to win if Tiger plays well.

Knowing Phil, this whole latter part of the year/Ryder Cup performance is a big ploy to skew the betting odds on the match.  In which he's vested indirectly as well!

If Phil plays good, he can beat Tiger.  TW is not a god.  Phil could play well and shoot 63.  Tiger could play great and shoot 64.  It happens.

Well - they estimated a  price for the Pay per View - it's about $20 more than I'd want to pay.....

and the poster still has Tiger with a left handed driver, too

What was the price?  Although personally, a price of $20 is $20 more than I would pay.

    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
    • I agree with @klineka, you're clearly doing something right.  Its always going to be a bit of a guessing game if you don't have any scoring history.  On the other hand, understanding that it takes only 54 holes to establish an actual handicap, and they have about 6 weeks in which to play and post enough scores, I don't think its at all unreasonable to require them to have an official handicap before they become eligible for prizes.  I don't know how you structure the fees for the series of competitions, but if its possible they'll play with the group without being eligible for prizes, you could consider a way to let them do that without contributing to the prize pool.
    • I run tournaments and want to put in a local rule that allows relief from tree roots and rocks that are not loose impediments. We have some really terrible lies in some of our courses in my area and nobody is getting paid enough to break clubs. Let me know if you think the verbage for this rule makes sense. Local Rule Roots and Rocks You may move your ball from a tree root or buried rock one club length for free relief no closer to the hole. However you may not use this rule to get relief from a tree, bush, boulder, or other foliage hindering your swing. Your only option here is to play it as it lies or take an unplayable for a one stroke penalty.
    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.
