So Tiger and Phil were on PTI yesterday and explaining why there is no crowd and why it's on PPV. Phil was harping on the fact that by having no one there, the live betting experience for people at home will be more accurate. They will both be miked up so that you can hear all of the conversations between them and each other or their caddies. They then can use their normal language as well (however Tiger already doesn't hold back on national TV, so I don't see the change there).
More than anything Phil sounded like a snake oil salesman. I agree with most that if it was on cable I might tune in for a bit, however there is no way to get me to drop $20 on an event that would've been great 10 years ago. I get more joy out of watching the Master's Par 3 than an absolute nothing match
