The golf was secondary to the entertainment of Barkley stirring the pot between them, talking about the beverage cart, etc. Loved it.

They should use their own money. Always reminds me of a quote from I think Lee Trevino.
After 1 of his majors they asked him how he deals with the pressure. He said that's not pressure, when you're playing for $100 and you have $20 in your pocket, that's pressure 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I enjoy the side matches. The normal tournaments feel so tight and tough rules to follow but these side matches feel more loose and free and you can see the players personalities come out.

Charles Barkley is in the NBA hall of fame. he was the leading scorer for the '92 "dream team" that won gold in the Olympics. he really showed out. played better than Michael Jordan, Larry bird, magic Johnson, and of course, the goat himself, Christian laettner. 🤣🤪

[ShawnyBGolf]

I agree with Guy. Really in the end, there isn’t anything on the line for these guys. So there isn’t any suspense in these if either wins or loses. You just have to hope for good banter.

August 2, 1999, Tiger Woods vs. David Duval played at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Ca

The first "Match" was between Hogan & Nelson versus Venturi & Ward in 1956. A great book to read by Mark Frost.

Rick...you said it in your commentary! It was entertainment! It was for charity! It was (sort of) built up as "the extreme dislike of each other", just to draw people in!! AND IT WORKED! Haha
I hope that they made a ton of money for the charities and...IT WAS ENTERTAINING!

[tonytrump]

Cash? Maybe. Lee Trevino once said putting for a million dollars isn’t pressure. Putting for $100 when you only have one dollar to your name is pressure.

If Bryson played better it would have been great. But once Bryson was down a ton he couldn't say anything. That ruined it. That golf course was beautiful.

[chrissoltis]

I think they need to add LPGA players to the Match next time.

[spritely]

I really enjoyed watching the match just off of how well Brooks was playing, but I remember saying “if they are playing bad I’m turning it off.” I totally agree with your points.

[pontusodqvist]

But was it not for charity? Then this is a good format I think!

[eddiemendoza]

Common guys! The point is to raise money and meals for charity and have a little fun while doing it. It’s just for fun.

[drewfleming]

Ill avoid anything where I have to hear Dechambeau speak. He's incredibly corny and totally unlikable. And Koepka 100% does not like him because of these reasons.

[harrylamb]

The ‘what’s the point’ comment is so valid. Would I prefer to watch Bryson vs Koepka pt 2, or Finch vs Shiels pt 24? Definitely the latter

[carlosaenz]

I actually loved the match. I enjoyed thier banter

[aggadan]

It was a classic match between Brains VS Brawn. Koepka used brains. He was out-driven yet he played his game and now we all know better.
