there is zero option to purchase on the b/r app. but the b/r site is streaming it free rn. not sure how long it lasts
On the opposite side, the BR app gave me the option to purchase but it won’t stream where I am currently :(
I thought this was supposed to be a very limited VIP only event? Good sized gallery still plus still getting the people yelling that just want to be heard. Some bro just said something about going to Sapphires tonight (big strip club for those that haven’t been out there)
So what are the takes to make this better in the future? I got into golf for one reason and that is Tiger, but he just doesnt have the personality for this. I wish he did because he will draw the viewers. After reading a lot on this and listening to NLU's podcast, I think some good changes would be: Need to get four interesting golfers involved that will banter back and forth. Perhaps Phil and the SB2k crew of JT, Rickie, and Spieth? I think ideally you would throw Phil and Tiger together against JT and one of the others, but I went over Tiger's shortcomings in this event above. Perhaps change the format. Front nine as foursome and back nine as fourball? SOmething like that to mix it up. Need to have all four mic'd up and then actually get them talking. Shane Bacon was on the course and he should be interviewing whoever isnt hitting the whole round to keep the banter going. The Match did a terrible job at this and instead just had the studio announcers talking over the mics the whole time. Need to do away with the very few 100k or above bets and get more action going. I know this might have been a PGA doing, but I would rather see them give odds and bet on putts, shots, up/downs on every hole.
The bets sucked. 100k that one of us hole out from the fairway? I would have loved to see 50k you can’t make this putt. 50k you won’t hit the fairway.
The PGA Tour - and then the Nevada Gaming Commission - regulated all the betting. Every one was pre-arranged before the round.
I get that there are laws regarding it, but it ended up just being a joke. If you can’t make it fun don’t do it.
Course I’m at this week is hosting a mini tour event. Only 7 people showed up because it’s cold. It didn’t occur to me until after that I should have played and then could have always said I finished top 10 in a mini tour event
