Anyone wagering on this made for tv golf match tonight? Tiger and Els vs. Mickelson and Garcia. Also what exactly is the format? Is it lowest combined team scores or alternate shots by each team member or team match play? Any information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

tiger and els are the chalk, really can't make a play, but i think there are better things to wager on.

I am a little surprised that not everyone has posted a price.

Seems a good chance to catch alot of casual sportsfans betting a couple of dead bux for the hell of it, given it's on network TV during primetime vs a bunch of reruns.

Sorry to disappoint, RB.
I beleive the format is best ball and match play.
Could be wrong, but I don't think so.
They just played alternate shot for that half-assed fiasco when the women melted down last year!
Lefty is not playing so hot lately. No?

I am taking +170 Garcia/Mich, one round of matchplay at +170 all four of these guys are long so everyone has a good chance at birdie, I will take the heavy juice and probably lose it but I think the real odds should be like 130.

damn i just got home from work and turned on the computer and every book except Carib had their lines off the board at 7:40 pm. This event is completely live correct, not tape delayed right? I wonder why the books were so quick to pull this one down before 8 p est? Any big news or something? Seems strange is all. I guess i will have play interactive style only.

yeah sorry about that post, I see they were already on 5th tee when the coverage began with Garcia and Mickelson 2 up. I just figured ABC would try and maximize ratings and show entire event live, even if that means starting at 7 pm est. Oh well, sorry for using too much common sense and not thinking like a big time network executive.
