Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods’ $9m showdown fails to impress fellow pros

Phil Mickelson defended Friday’s $9 million (£7 million) winner-takes-all showdown with Tiger Woods, as fellow pros questioned whether it had value to the game. The match is on pay-per-view in the United States but Sky Sports are showing it in the UK. Publicity photos of Mickelson and Woods posing behind tables overflowing with wads of dollars, provoked fury on social media.
