... Funny, I feel the exact opposite. I love watching athletes from other sports play golf. Especially 2 HOF football players out pf their element on a golf course. Our games are much closer to Brady/Manning than 2 guys with 126 PGA Tour wins between them. That said I would also watch Tiger hit a golf ball under any circumstances. 

Completely understandable. I would never say my opinion is the only reasonable one. Or even the correct one. I would rather watch the Taylormade event though. With four top golfers. It will be even more interesting as they are not using caddies.

My OCD kicks-in when I read the title of this thread....
Can someone, please, edit the title so Mickelson is spelled correctly?

... I was not challenging your opinion at all, just sharing a different one.

Of course, didn't say you were. And I am simply acknowledging that your opinion is as valid as mine as conversation. Sometimes context is hard in type.

I am excited to see Tom and Peyton play head to head.  Also will be good to see how rusty Tiger is and if he will anything special in the tank for the Masters again.

I don't much care for these events either. We already have "made for TV" golf as is. The PGA 3-club Tour.

That’s hysterical - it took me a minute. :)

I recorded and watched the Rory/Rickie/DJ/Matthew match at Seminole. 

I'll be honest - I was *much* more interested in seeing the course than watching these guys play; I'd read a lot about that course and really wanted to see it.
Thank goodness I recorded it... my oh my I couldn't imagine watching it live... I think I hit fast forward more often than I hit play! Shot, commercial, shot, commercial, putt, drive, commercial. At first when I saw they were mic'd up I was pretty excited but alas, there was barely anything to get excited about. Rory did one tiny bit of smack talk but other than that what a bore-fest.

If the Brady/Manning showdown is anything at all like that then I'll press record and watch later.

I just tuned in on the last hour - just couldn't get into it. Wished I had it dvr' it - well maybe not since it was kinda boring. Normally I really enjoy Sunday tour events.

I'm curious about the match but it's not something I'm going to sit inside on Memorial Day weekend and watch.

Maybe I just miss sports but I loved the TaylorMade match and I'm excited for this one too. I love to watch golf and Mickelson is one of my favorites. Not to mention I'm a huge Manning fan as well so it should be cool to watch. 

[Kanoito 2,301]

Not a Phil fan and if it's as s***** as their first match, I think I'll pass. Or just have it on TV if there is absolutely nothing else to do.

Definitely agree with you here. So much back and forth it was painful.

I will say, I think having Payton and Phil involved certainly increases the chance of better banter. But probably not any less commercials.

[Tsmithjr9 1,596]

I don't care. Anyone else agree?

I don't have much going on Sunday so I'll be watching.  As a Lefty, I started out as Phil fan early on even with some of the oddity's and disingenuous that you hear about with Phil at times, but you never really know what's the truth.  Since I'm already playing tomorrow morning, no chance I can get away with playing two days in a row so I will be watching.

I'm not expecting the golf to be all that great.  I'm from Indianapolis, so big time Peyton fan so hoping there's some good back and forth between the players.  Also, with Chuck Barkely and Justin Thomas on the broadcast, it could be an interesting telecast.  

I don't think it can be worse than what I witnessed last week with the Taylormade event, so that's something.

I have to say I'm pretty excited for "The Match II". I started playing golf in early 97 and was living in Augusta when Tiger won there in April. I've been an enormous fan of his ever since and will watch just about anything with him and a golf club involved. 

[Quigleyd 643]

I will be honest. I am less interested in this than I was the TM driving relief match. 

[Bob M 24]

There's a just too little interest in my mind to bother watching. I did watch some fo Rickie, Rory and Company, and enjoyed that, these guys are the now wave of hot golfers

[Sluggo42 5,924]

It’s raining cats and dogs..

[downlowkey 3,838]

Yikes. Honorary starter Sam Jackson didn’t sound the least bit impressed laughing at that first batch of tee shots. I think we are going to see quite a few clankers today. Not sure how much of this match I can stomach.

[PMookie 11,157]

Well, we’re definitely not watching FOUR Pros.... Yikes. No wonder TV crews don’t follow us!!!
