More of these please!! Great memories of highlights of these on late night TV in Ireland back in the day. The 90's ones were great too - watching Payne and Freddie go toe to toe was great viewing.
I am. Surprised to see his tee shot seems to he in the light rough at the most. I didn’t seem him bend over or even take a practice swing I guess he could have done something on his backswing. Watson did seem adamant about it. Going to have to look into it some more.
This is the edited broadcast footage, so obviously the players had been at their balls for a little while beforehand. They’re not shown when they’re first walking up to their balls. That’s when Player moved the leaf, which may - or may not - have been a loose impediment (ie. was rooted in the ground, or loose). You’re not going to see anything in this footage. Either way, the post-game discussion between them was firm but polite, and no lasting animosity resulted from it.
We're watching a 43-year-old Jack Nicklaus using persimmon wood clubs outdriving everyone, even Tom Watson, who is 10 years his junior, and topping 300 yards on many shots. That's why he's the greatest ever. If he were 30-years-old today in 2024 using today's equipment, he'd be dominating world golf. No way to prove it, but I don't see how anyone couldn't conclude it.
The confrontation is not in the video, but this is definitely the Skins Game where it occurred. The alleged cheating by Player occurred on the 16th, but his conduct isn’t in the video.

Would like to see the senior skins if possible
135 yard 8 iron for Watson, and 130 yard 9 iron for Nicklaus. Those balls back then must've been filled with sand! 😅
The club lofts weren’t as jacked then either…a nine iron had a 44* loft back then.
Imagine these 4 in a scramble roll up to your local course
Is this the one where Watson accused Player of cheating?
Yes.
@@owenburnett2718 At what point in the video ?

YAY!!!!
Gary player cheated on the 16th and Watson called him out after the match, Arnold Palmer shouldve won the event.
$360k couldnt get a top 10 golfer off the coach today lol
