Our golf group played 9 holes before The Match and we watched the event afterwards at my house. We put friendly wagers on every hole and closet to the pin. There was many side bets between my buddies. We had a ball. Interesting we were just about split on who would win. As I said on another thread I had no problem streaming via ROKU directly to B/R Live channel.
Our slight disappointment was the lack of smack talking and side bets by Tiger and Phil as the media overhyped leading up to the event. As one of the boys pointed out "networth wise we bet more on side bets than Tiger or Phil". I can't remember all the bets by Tiger and Phil but the only one that had teeth in my opinion was the first hole where Phil bet he would get a birdie or lose the bet if he doesn't. After that it became more like If you make a hole in one then I'll pay - there not much skin in that odds wise. My gut says we won't see this type event again if it is a pay to watch event.
