Mixed feelings, they can't seem to win a tour event, so they are cashing in on their popularity to gain a big pay day? At the same time, I like the 'thinking outside the box (pga/usga)' type mentality, lol. Personally, I would like to see a mixed gender alternate shot type event with top golfers from the lpga and pga, in a TPC type environment, that would be very cool. Golf can be exciting, if the officials allow it to be. |

Apparently Phil, huge gambler as most PGA players are, was trying to get a wager going during Tiger and his warm up round at the Masters. I've heard rumors that big money gets bet during practice rounds between players to help add pressure and most importantly bragging rights. Apparently Phil wanted to bet enough to make Tiger "Nervous" so they came up with 10m. Which I imagine is the same as $2,000 to us when you are worth $740 million! I hope they televise it. I loved the battle at the bridges competition. Tiger and Daly on the same team vs Phil and Goosen? Doesn't get much better than that. Shame the ending was so anticlimactic and they canceled it. Looks like Tiger and Phil want to bring something similar back. They used to have the Wendy's Three Tour challenge. It used to be hosted at Rio Secca in Las Vegas funny enough (One of JohnnyGK's favorites) Teams of 1 PGA 1 LPGA and 1 Champions player. I wish they would bring it back. |
