Original Tiger Woods The Match dubbed “pillow fight” and technical issues forced refunds

Tiger Woods stars in The Match exhibition event for the third time on Saturday with the shortened format perfect for attracting a large television audience.

Woods will partner world number one Rory McIlroy with the pair facing US Ryder Cup team-mates Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth. With the professional golf tours taking their Christmas break fans have been left starved of coverage.

However, the keenly awaited exhibition event had a troubled start when it launched in 2018 with fans given their money back and the battle between opponents dubbed "a pillow fight".
