There are MUCH better ways to allocate my money.

There's no way I'd spend money on pay-per-view anything, much less a golf match. Besides, those dollars could be more easily used for greens fees for myself.

A one on one could easily be more or less decided in the first 4 holes if one player does well and the other had one disastrous hole ... though I suppose each player could flub a hole or two to keep the competition 'interesting' ...

AFAIC, this is Golf 'Jumping the Shark' ... Sad!

I mean, not like $9M isn't well above the total amount of money that the average US Worker (and this is one of the 'richest' countries in the history of the world) makes over the course of his/her ENTIRE WORKING LIFE or anything like that, right?!?

Which of course, one of these two dudes will make this in one day ... which spent out on a beautiful golf course, palling around with each other, with fawning cameras tracking their every move in admiration of their awesomeness ... and I'm guessing the loser will get at least $3M, which is only 40 years worth of income at $75K/year...

But hey ... many will be 'entertained' on a Sunday afternoon, so ... totally fair.

I'm saving my money for a George Foreman v Larry Holmes boxing match.

congratulations on your 1,000th post.

I'm glad I didn't waste it on some sort of grand manifesto.

I grew up with cats and still like them, but I've gone over to the dog side in my adulthood.

if my memory is about right.

First, not paying extra to watch someone else play golf. The PPV fee is probably what it costs me to play for 2 weeks.

Secondly (yeah, big secret), i can't stand Mickelson.

Third, this is silly. They're not playing with their own money.

On that 3rd point: Michael Collins had a funny idea. These two should have a side bet where the loser has to caddy for the winner at next year's Masters par 3. Now, that i'd pay for. Too see either of those guys with the white jumpsuit and caddy bib.
