NFT: The Tiger-Phil PPV Match Has Squandered Nearly All Its Buzz

Stan in LA : 10/17/2018 1:31 pm

It may seem like a while ago, but there was a time when the prospect of a Tiger vs. Phil match—under the neon lights of Las Vegas, broadcast on big network television, with $10 million of their own money on the line and both players interacting with fans in ways you don't see at a normal Tour event—generated legitimate excitement.

It was back in July, when Golf.com broke the story with an announcement that both players were working toward making a match-play showdown happen. Details were sparse then but they've become clear now, and each successive piece of information has zapped buzz from a spectacle that's still, somehow, a month and a half away. When viewership for the event inevitably fails to meet expectations, the organizers will have no one to blame but themselves.

I couldn't care less about this event.
And the price seems to be $24.95  
Stan in LA : 10/17/2018 1:39 pm : link
I would be challenged to watch it for free.
this is the rare thread  
YAJ2112 : 10/17/2018 1:47 pm : link
where everyone will likely agree with Stan.

0 chance I would spend a dime on this, and won't care enough to try to find a stream at this point.

If this was free, I would definitely watch it. No chance i'm paying a dime for it.
It seems that after the live event  
Stan in LA : 10/17/2018 1:58 pm : link
It will be rebroadcast for free on a network of Golf Channel a week or 2 later.
Hey, Stans awake!

We missed you during the Sox-Yanks series!
The only reason I would even bother watching  
Skully88 : 10/17/2018 2:14 pm : link
The rerun is to see Shadow Creek.

And I watch some portion of every PGA tour event.

You missed Chris Sale pitching, but how can that be because you said he was done for the year....

The way he pitched (and is pitching) he's better off done for the year.

I just like embarrassing you for being the dumb pathetic troll you are that nobody here respects.

Embarrassed by you? LOL! Finish your homework before your mommy gets mad.
It's PPV!?!  
BillT : 10/17/2018 2:46 pm : link
Really, you have to be kidding. Love watching golf and Phil and Tiger but I wouldn't pay $1 to see this.
It's OPP  
arniefez : 10/17/2018 3:04 pm : link
who cares. It would be more fun to watch them play for $100 of their own money on putt putt course. Whoever "advised" them on this was a should be fired.

This isn't a new idea but boy did they screw it up.

This has Phil written all over it  
jlukes : 10/17/2018 3:07 pm : link
dude has the most inflated sense of importance in the game
I'm gonna watch it on my plasma TV..

I’m sure FIGJAM will be in true degenerate form  
GiantGolfer : 10/17/2018 3:40 pm : link
and trying to talk Tiger into some side bets during the round. No fans on the course for Phil to put on his phony smile to either.
Never any buzz to squander  
gmenatlarge : 10/17/2018 3:54 pm : link
10 years ago maybe, now who cares.
I wouldn't pay 10 cents to watch this event.  
Phil in Joisey : 10/17/2018 4:13 pm : link
What's the attraction? They've only faced each other
maybe 500 times already in tournament play.
You would have to pay me five figures to watch this crap.  
Boy Cord : 10/17/2018 4:31 pm : link
I couldn’t care less if I ever see either one of them swing a golf club again. Actually, I prefer not to.

I couldn't care less either, but I work cheap: I’d watch it for 3 figures.
$25 for this?
