Big Break Myrtle Beach Finale: Jimmy vs. Toph By The Numbers

Jimmy vs. Toph.

It’s winner take all on the finale of Big Break Myrtle Beach.

Here is a look at the championship match by the numbers:

0 – What the loser receives as a reward for finishing second. Big Break is the ultimate winner-take-all competition, which only heightens the stakes.

1 – Number of exemptions the winner will receive into PGA Tour events, in this case the 2015 Valspar Championship.

3 – The number of times Jimmy and Toph won elimination challenges despite taking penalty strokes. Toph twice survived penalty strokes, including his semifinal triumph over Emily. His most harrowing brush with elimination came during a win or go home match against Katie Detlefsen in episode 3. He took a penalty stroke and could only watch as Katie missed an approximately seven-foot putt that would’ve beat him. Jimmy took an unplayable lie during the week 5 elimination challenge, but a three-putt and chunked chip from Carolin allowed him to advance.

4 – Number of times Jimmy has survived an elimination match entering the finale. He has typically summoned his best golf when necessary, but in an event as fickle as Big Break, where there is a little time to overcome a great shot by an opponent or a your own miscues, there is some good fortune involved in skirting elimination that many times.

6 – Number of  mini-tour events Jimmy won in 2012-13

20 – Over/Under on the number of times Toph called himself an idiot after hooking a hybrid into the water on the final hole of his elimination challenge against Emily when all he needed to do was play it safe.

$75,000 – the amount of cash the winner will receive, in addition to the exemption into the tour event and full exempt status on the 2015 Swingthought.com Tour, among many other gifts.

200,000+ – The number of people who cheered Jimmy when he eliminated Anthony in the penultimate episode.
