   I think Pepperrel missed the point: How wonderful for them to play for $9M. Put up your own money, make it mean something. This “exhibition” was less than pathetic. They should have set this up hitting off skyscrapers in Dubai, insulting!

   I find it funny that you have professional golfers who routinely fly on private planes and get courtesy cars the week of tournaments complaining about the amount of money others are playing for….

   WTF cares. This is the United States boys. Hard work, dedication and drive can make you extremly wealthy, rich and successful. You think these guys are simply gifted with these abilities? You think they didn’t have sacrafices in their lives? That they didn’t spend days training and practicing while someone like me wasted years partying it up and chasing chicks?
   The old saying “don’t hate the player, hate the game” is true. You aren’t fat because of McDonalds, you are fat because you eat like shite. Get off your pedestal people. Enjoy your life or do something about it, but stop complaining because you don’t have the drive these guys do.
   Sure there is unfortunate circumstances around the world. But for those wasting a life w/o mental or phsycal dissabilities shame on you. It is YOU who needs to fak-off and get off your ipad and get after something. Make something of your life.
   Lets all get over yourselves. Suck it up. You have control.

   I’d like to know who takes the PPV money, as it was stated the $9 million was going to charity. It was ordinary golf, and these two don’t look like real friends. An event easily missed.

   I find it funny that all these comments saying they don’t deserve it. The sport is Tiger ratings go up 4-6 fold when he plays. They get paid this much because it makes money. The amount these pros play for is because Tiger and Phil. Maybe instead of being a keyboard warrior, go find something that you can add some value to instead of having a mentality that life isn’t fair… news flash, it’s not.

   I love how people tell these guys what they should do with their own money. Should they tell you how to spend yours?

     Are you under the impression that Phil and Tiger ponied up the $9mil? Woefully incorrect. That $9mil came from the working class, as usual. Tiger made $43.3 mil last year, mostly from endorsements, with a lone late-season win. Net worth, what, $1.5bil? Mickelson is worth $375 mil.

     “They deserve to play for this money”

     Wow, I thought golfers said it was the poor who acted “entitled”. They don’t “deserve” a damn thing. They’re insanely lucky that the world values their useless ability to smack a ball around SO highly over those who educate, create, serve and defend.

     They have both received far, far more money than they “deserve” or could ever possibly need.

     If the money doesn’t go to charity – the purse AND the side-bets, they both should be horribly ashamed of themselves. Aren’t they both California boys? There are plenty of people there who could use your help.

       SO they should be ashamed of themselves for not giving THEIR money to who you think deserves it???

       Only in America are those paying 100’s of millions in taxes the greedy, and those who benefit from it the victims….

   Pepperell is a jealous little boy providing ill thought immature comments on the two players most responsible for his well being.

    Pepperell is right. While is would be nice to have the winnings go to charity this exhibition match isn’t relevant now. It would have been relevant 18 years ago.

    Would you pay money to see a PPV between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus?

      The point of the bet amount is to make each player feel uncomfortable, if the winnings were going to charity it might lose that feeling, besides the side bets are going to charity.
      Who knows, maybe the winner will end up donating the winnings.

    Agree with EP (and all other naysayers!) Wouldn’t it be something if these Calafornia boys would actually donate their winnings to the victims of the Calafornia fires.
