I heard the whole event was a dud. The play was so bad that commentator Charles Barkley complained. There was no banter and the side bets dried up in the back 9.

If Charles Barkley complained about the play then it was BAD.

If only they had included Billie Jean King...

The only way I'd have paid a dime to watch this farce, would have been if both Tiger and Phil had to put up the $9 Million, in cash, with no side money paid to either of them, up front, and the winner walked away with $18 Million.

Then, maybe, I'd have considered investing a couple of bucks to watch {DVR} it.

Nothing wastes more time than two guys playing golf alone. Four plus hours of dead air with 12 minutes {maybe} of action, kinda like pro football.

I didn’t even know about it.

Good for Phil.

So what was to come that Samuel Jackson was the first sign of?

We always knew this sounded cooler than it would be. 2 guys just can’t be entertaining for 18 holes. Needed a foursome at least.

Woods must be off the steroids. His arms look about like Mickelson’s now.

I watched this from hole 10 or so on pay per view.

It would have been awful if it had been done by a network with commercials

The broadcast was surprisingly good

Tiger and Phil displayed true gentleman behavior

The announcers used a little too much hype and cliche

Worth doing again. Solid B effort.

When I learned that it was streaming free, I started watching. That was at the 17th hole, where Tiger hit a great putt from just off the green to tie it up. The five adult guys who were at my house for a post-Thanksgiving meal huddled around my computer to watch the rest of it. While I have never played golf in my life (unless you count the kind with windmills where you might wind a free game at the end), I thought it was pretty interesting.

Then we all watched the West Virginia vs. Oklahoma slugfest. Yeah, there wasn’t any defense, but man those offenses have some great weapons.

My gym had it on their giant screen tv. I assumed it was almost over when I arrived but they were only on the eleventh. I joined watching when they were at 15 and stayed until they had played one extra hole. By then I was bored and no longer cared who won.

Easy money for Phil so I’m sure he’s happy.

If it is on TV or movies, it is mandatory that Samuel L. Jackson make an appearance.
