Just talk to me about this match right people that don't know which i don't think is many people. But elaborate please well there's been a few versions of the match now what was the tiger. And phil the first one so tiger and phil they played for a million dollars yeah they've had one where it's been tight not tiger phil mickelson. And tom brady is that the tom brady versus who did they play was that not bryson could have been bryson. And the tiger phil then.
There was oh that peyton manning tom brady versus justin thomas was it oh no uh did tiger go again actually as a doubles yes yes when it was absolutely throwing it down correct. So yeah there's been individual tiger versus phil there's been four ball match between tiger phil. And celebrity partners it's been a good few actually it's been quite a lot but the most recent version of it with all the build up of certain the last 12 months of this hatred that's happening between two incredibly famous tour players brooks kepker and bryson deshambo they've got this beef yes they apparently they kind of hate each other. But i don't know if i fully buy into it if i'm honest i think it's a bit of a dislike. But the media have massively kind of picked it up but it was a match play at the wing golf in las vegas over 12 holes weirdly which i suppose was done to make it kind of shorter form a faster pace which is something we're asking. For more of in golf so it's quite kind of i don't blame them for doing that brooks destroyed him five and three yeah which is. So that would have finished he would have finished on the ninth uh yeah ninth hole wow that's battering that isn't it yeah yeah he uh what was really interesting all the build up i must admit you don't see a lot of brooks practicing you don't see him shelling golf balls you don't see him putting the grind in i'm sure he does we just don't see it bryson i feel like certainly recently with his social media he's featuring on his own youtube channels he's featuring loads of other youtube channels like the good good lads. And people that that he seems to be putting a lot of work in hard graft hitting lots and lots of golf balls obviously trying to increase his club head speed his bull speed tremendously trying to hit the ball off as far as he possibly can he's working out you see a lot of it. But in a match like that i do honestly think there's an element of grit. And determination that comes into it yeah i think did you enjoy did you oh it wasn't on tell in the uk it wasn't on tv it wasn't live i think you could stream it yeah maybe not illegally um. So you could if you wanted to i watched a lot of the highlights and little clips because again something nine holes really got to see this there wasn't loads and loads of clips there was a bit of banter a little bit of bryce. And shambo coming up to the first tee with some cupcakes of brooks face uh brooks weren't really buying into it i quite like the commentary of phil mickelson yeah i thought he was excellent um. And uh charles barkley as well i don't really massively know i know he's huge in america but is it charles barkley is that the singer that's niles bart he did the one that says crazy um anyway the commentary i thought was really good the interaction that what was fascinating like they had airpods in yeah. And like you could hear them and they could hear the commentators i like that yeah i felt like you got a little bit more in the mind of these players. And obviously it's an exhibition match so we're trying to raise money for charity or whatever it may be the golf course looks amazing no better setting than las vegas um. But i must admit you tell me right now i've seen maybe five golf shots the thing is with it. For me and very much and we said it's many podcasts i'm sure we can will continue to do. So i'd love to see more different varieties of golf certainly it's fun to watch you know for for us and it's another way of getting more people into the sport of golf not everybody wants to watch four days of stroke play so i'm all behind that the only thing for these matches i find a little bit kind of semi-cringey but more hard to get into is. For me i'm like a casual boxing fan so i wouldn't go out there and say i'm a huge huge boxing fan because someone's got proper knowledge would just look at me and say you know nothing so i don't claim something about boxing however. every like big fight that's on was on skybox office. And i'll be on that zone whatever i end up paying for and watching because i get i get into it and even the youtuber stuff obviously coming up soon as jake paul is a tommy fury which is stupid. But i'll get into it and the reason i get so into it for me personally is i can't comprehend at the minute like jake paul. And tommy fury which i know people will be noticing getting these guys exposed to some degree one's gotta lose yeah. And he could drop in reality one of them's gonna lose and they don't both don't believe they will. And to some degree their careers will be massively tarnished if they do lose with these golf kind of one-on-one things another one. For a bit of fun but well at the minute bryson is better world ranking than brooks kepca. So if he loses which he did he just go out if you want to well yeah. But i'm high up in the world rankings yeah brooks kepler's got more majors on him. So he can always say well i've got more majors than you have you've got one i've got four yeah it doesn't really change then.
Does it i know it's like it's done. For fun but what actually is the point yeah it like do i think anything worse of bryson is that after losing no no i don't think he's a worse golfer than brooks kepker because that we can't measure it on on just that not in golf anyway like you say in a boxing ring it's man versus manners someone's got to get knocked down. And somebody's got to win the fight as such yeah this isn't a fight a few you know a few wayward drives. For bryson it puts him in the trouble and a few hole puts from brooks kepler it makes him win the match it's like it's not a proper fight is it they're trying to build it up like that they're doing all this they're doing all these press conferences before they're even doing like the face off before the match. And everything else like that um interviews afterwards um it was nice it was good entertainment this would never happen if they had they mapped. And said right the loser of the said match isn't allowed to play any of the four majors next.
Year. So that's what you're playing for so it's like there's actually something massively on the line imagine bryce have to miss next.
Year's four it would never happen but imagine had to miss the next.
Four major because he lost the match yeah the only one thing. For me that it really should be done off is their own cash that would that. For me would be the only way you could really really like get somebody going if they both put 10 million dollars in each winner takes all that's like i'm taking 10 million off you it'll it that would come across incorrectly in the world of the in the world of other sports because where'd you where the golfers put their. Or sports people put their own money into it really it's always off sponsors and stuff but that's the only thing that would kind of make it really feel tangible like he's beat him he's taking 10 million off him but then.
Again if tiger played against phil it's not comparable because tiger's worth 10 times more than phil i would guess but it's like i don't know it's a it's a weird one it's nice to see golf explore different avenues these short formats and stuff so i'm definitely behind that it wasn't quite it for me but having said that they might make another match in the future i'm like i'm definitely behind yeah. But it's just hard in it yes i'm really like saying i'm fully i love the ideas. And i love all the pr behind it with like bryson hitting shots from the top of the wind hotel down onto the golf course and that was his face like i loved all of that sort of stuff. And the match it was it was good. And there was a bit of heckling um. But like i said i don't think anything worse after it where in boxing you're dead right you definitely see a failed fighter as he's that person has failed like auntie joshua's lost twice now you see him differently don't you exactly which is is bad. But that's the sport yeah even like conor mcgregor like he was number one now he's lost a few times you think he's not got it anymore. But that doesn't happen in golf does it you.
