Organizers are expecting the Woods versus Mickelson showdown to attract a massive television audience, and just 450,000 paying fans are necessary to cover the cost of the jackpot. While neither competitor is firing like he did a decade-plus ago, both still are popular enough to hit that number without too much trouble.
