Thought I saw glimpses of Hellmuth and Lindgren on the greens whilst strolling through Best Buy.... Anyone watch it? Was it amusing?  |

Mildly amusing at best. I couldn't believe all the choking on the last two holes. |

I like Brunsons ball marker--a Bellagio $25,000 chip. |

Was fun for a few minutes but got pretty boring. I don't like watching poor golf

One word describes this:
Terrible.
I'm with Vince on this one. If I'm going to watch golf on TV, it better be good. I'd rather watch guys I've never heard of play in the US Amateur than watch these guys blow putts 6 feet by the hole.

Yes, mildly amusing but I was disappointed. It would have been better if they had some prop action going on, or would lay down a bet on somebody making a particular shot. |

I was sort of assuming that this would happen. Otherwise, what's the point?

For me, it made golf watchable. I usually steer clear of it. Somehow it got flipped on and I got sucked in and HQ and I watched it from, I think, the last 5 holes or so through the end. There were some entertaining parts. Like Negreanu making fun of Hellmuth. |

I didnt understand the payouts exactly...
Does each player win 1 million for a hole if their team wins, or does
the team communitivly win 1 million??
and how does the payout work... if one team wins, the other two teams
pay up. Im confused how the money even works... |
