Report: Tiger, Phil planning match for $10 million

Two months ago at the Players Championship, where Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were paired together for the first two rounds, Mickelson suggested he and his rival-turned-friend Woods skip the tournament stuff and play a "high-stakes, winner-take-all match."
 
It would appear that the two players are ready to put their money where their mouths are, as a report from Golf.com's Alan Shipnuck suggests the two legends are planning a head-to-head match for $10 million.

Great idea.....but about ten years late.

 

Nah, this is must-see TV.  I'd love it.

I'd be interested in seeing Phil actually think out there and try to win something without goofing around.  Cost him a US Open, fortunately VandeVelt (SP??) was far more shameful a toss-away of a major.

VdV was the worst choke job in history.

Phil's at the US Open was a distant second.

 

 

 

Rich country club golfing partners at the firm sat in the boardroom in silence at the stupidity of Phil for half an hour to begin the Monday morn meeting.

Phil had no excuse, he’d been in that situation many times.  But, after the tee shot there was nothing he could do.

 

VdV made horrible decision after horrible decision for twenty minutes.  Watching that was painful.

he's got a goofy side to him, showed it at the last US Open in full

 

that's who he is

 

VdV was far more entertaining, hastily removing your socks is never a good move on a golf course

TT postscript: Not a win, but an amazing week | Golf Channel

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland – Here are a few things I think I think after Tiger Woods had a chance to win his 15th major Sunday at The Open at Carnousite:

 

Tiger shot 71-71-66-71 to finish at 5 under par and tie for sixth place.

 

Tiger moved to 50th in the Official World Golf Ranking, which qualifies him for the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, which he has won eight times.

Golf channel changed its schedule last night to carry Tiger for his whole first hour

 

otherwise they would have cut us off the last half hour until the major network comes on at 2pm

TW was out of sorts for the weekend with back to back 3 over scores of 73.

 

 

 

He'll never play like the old Tiger, but he seems to be at peace with that, which is good to see. 

 

Just enjoy the moment and draw pleasure from being in contention again...

That's a good point.

 

It's amazing how we as society love to watch someone sky rocket to flame, enjoy their fall from the top and rejoice in their reclamation.

 

That Tiger seems to be finding peace is the most important thing for himself.  I still think he's a douche, though.

He was a douche to his wife, for sure...don't know that he has ever been perceived as particularly douchy otherwise, though.  Just an intense competitor.  I am actually happy for him being a relevant factor on the tour again.

He is good for golf. He attracts an audience to the game that it elsewise may not get, which is the casual fan.  And if that motivates some kids to get off the couch than so be it.

 

But, his attitude towards his wife and women and just the way he behaved was douchey.

Tiger Woods appears to be running out of gas | Golf Channel

 

Statistics backed up the fatigue factor, as his measured swing speed continues to decrease:

• 122.6 mph (Quail Hollow)
• 119.4 mph (Players)
• 118.5 mph (Memorial)
• 118.0 mph (Quicken Loans)
• Sunday at Firestone, he clocked in at 117.7 mph

That was still 20th-best in a field of 71, but nearly 6 mph slower than when he was measured at the Honda Classic in late February.
