Biko 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I know this was DN messing about in his blog, but I think there's some mileage in a bet like this.Given the right handicapping and conditions, something could be worked out.Or how about play for $2.5m, then they play heads-up for the other $2.5m so Phil's got a chance to win his money back?In fact, the more I think about it - this could be a great TV show!

Biko 0 Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Put Ivey on the shortstack!Perhaps Mickelson would be interested, there's a man who definitely likes a gamble! Link to post Share on other sites
crowTrobot 2 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 woods presumably cares a lot more about winning majors than winning 5 mil. i doubt he'd want to be screwing up his stroke putting 18 holes with a driver : ) Link to post Share on other sites
nutzbuster 7 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Tiger Woods would have no chance... seriously, I'm not kidding.BWAHHAAAHAAHAHAHAAA!!!! How can you say that with a straight face? lmao.O.P. , I can't see this ever happening, especially in public, unless it benefited one of Tigers charities or something. He sure as helll wouldn't do it for personal gain. Tiger already makes about $2,000 and hour....everyhour....of everyday......all ...year....long.....even when sleeping....FOREVER.....No kidding.

That's not even 1xBB/hour in the big game But yeah, I know - I was just speculating for the sake of some banter.Mind you, if Tiger wins a tournament, it's usually about $1m-$1.2m - and that's for four days work. He could do the Ivey challenge in less than a day.I think Daniel might be right you know, after all, Tiger doesn't have to put up any money for each tournament he enters. If he had to stump up $5m of his own cash, he might get the shakes over a 6-footer on the 18th to square the match...! Link to post Share on other sites

He would probably take that bet. Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I'm TELLING you that Tiger would have no chance. Ivey will average about a 64 in that match. He is an excellent putter, and giving him two putts on the green is a huge edge for him. Link to post Share on other sites
