Turner Offers Refund for Tiger-Phil Match After Streaming Blemish on B/R Live

Turner Sports is one of several companies offering refunds to those who experienced technical difficulties during the Phil Mickelson-Tiger Woods pay-per-view match in Las Vegas this past weekend. The event was hosted on Turner’s B/R Live streaming platform but struggled to live up to its pre-match hype.

Some viewers reported being unable to watch the $19.99 pay-per-view match on their televisions. Charter Spectrum, Cox Communications, Dish/Sling TV, and AT&T were among the other media companies to broadcast the event, and also to offer a refund due to B/R Live’s malfunctions. The difficulties forced Turner and Bleacher Report representatives to send out links on social media that directed people to the B/R Live webpage, allowing fans to stream the match for free on computers and mobile devices.
