Turner will reimburse B/R Live users who paid for Friday night’s showdown between Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson after the match was accidentally made available for free, the company said in a statement on Saturday.

“The Match was an historic event, from Tiger’s opening tee shot to Phil’s final putt,” a Turner spokesperson said. “Prior to the start of the event, we experienced a technical issue with the B/R Live paywall that we tried to quickly resolve. We decided to take down the paywall to ensure that fans who already purchased the event would not miss any action. This did not impact the live streaming of the competition and fans were treated to an event that was both engaging and memorable.”
