I’m a simple man. I see the official Masters YT channel posted the Tiger chip from 16 that I’ve watched hundreds of times, but I click and watch anyway.
@@trimmoos - Just because it is played at 1080P does not mean it is HD (it's upscaled, shallow color, and low bitrate). The clip is no better than the full round video you reference, and neither is in decent HD. It looks like typical low-bitrate live footage common for the cameras and production equipment employed at the time.
Thank you for such an iconic call Verne, and for the many wonderful memories at the masters we’ve been privileged to have. Golfs been better with your voice in it and we will all miss you greatly. Happy retirement Verne.
This is one of, if not the greatest golf shot ever shown on television. Had Tiger not made this shot, he wouldn’t have gone on to win. That’s what makes this shot legendary. Growing up during those years was awesome!
@@jackspinner4727 strange thing to lie about.. not sure what jmpopa gets by saying he was there on a UA-cam comment lol. I believe him, and am very jealous lol.
Far and away the best individual TV highlight of anything that has ever happened in golf ever. The talk of how hard it is, the full extension camera zoom, the crowd freaking out both when the ball doesn’t fall in and then when it does. “Oh my goodness - oh wow!” You throw the Nike logo on that and it’s an an award winning Nike ad, or reshoot it and it’s the key scene from a movie. Just perfect.
Congratulations on your career and thank you for being the best play by play caller the Masters has ever heard. We'll miss your golden voice Mr. Verne Lindquist. Here's to you ⛳
Watched it live and 100 times since and just watched it another 4 times. My kids dont understand what a true sports phenomenon is...this shot was Tiger in all his glory. We just expected this to happen every weekend and many times it actually happened! What a treat it was to watch him play!
One of the absolute most iconic moments in sports history. Like Jordan hitting the cross over three vs the Jazz, or Jeter’s quick flip at home plate, etc.
Listen….. you’re soooo right. But being an A’s fan.. that Jeter flip hurt. But it changed sports, cuz I play SS and after that if there was a cut home like that we would be right there lol
I’ve seen many great shots from many great players. That being said, this has been my pick as the greatest shot in golf history for almost 20 years. I will never not play this video when I see it posted anywhere. So stoked for April!
The great Verne Lundquist retires today after a storied 40 year career and this is my favourite call of his. Came here to say thanks for this iconic call on an iconic shot 19 years ago.
I will never forget seeing this. I had been mowing my lawn and my daughter was riding her bike around and around our place. It was warm and we went in for a cool drink she was 7 years old. We went in the kitchen got a cold drink and the masters was on our little tv on the nook table. We watched as Tiger made this shot. When it went in after stopping we went crazy hugging each other and cheering. It was an incredible moment in life I share with my daughter until this day. Thank you Tiger.
Me too. First his ability to shut out all those people watching him. Second, the way he sees the shot, looking at where it will break, how much speed it needs. And lastly, the physical execution of the shot and the ball hanging on the lip, toying with us, then dropping in. The drama of the whole thing is better than any movie ever made. Tiger man, Tiger.
Cannot believe the Masters next year (2025) will be the 20th anniversary of this chip shot. I still think it’s the greatest shot in all Majors that’s gone on to win the tournament for the player who played it.
Just listen to the gallery after he hit the chip. Respectable silence that builds to some cheering and eventually a roar when it drops. THIS is why The Masters is so special. It is pure. It is honest. It is the way golf was always meant to be. It is the complete opposite of Phoenix and their drunk frat boy tournament. Please never change, Augusta National.
This was my first Masters watching in HD. I know now this doesn't seems like a big deal, but back then it was incredible. This was such a huge turn of events in the entire tournament.
Tiger made golf electrifying and accessible. I don't care how many majors he wins or doesn't win. He gives 10 tons back to children in the sport and always has. Plus the iconic indelible memories. The GOAT.
Great call…I’d love to know what CDM actually thought when this went in…in the few glimpses of him in this clip could not help but feel like he was all alone out there.
@@andrewd3737 DeMarco did say he was surprised that the first playoff hole was 18. They typically started on 10 but for some reason they chose 18, which Chris felt was an advantage to Tiger in the way he can bend his 3-wood around the corner.
My dad and I saw this live on TV. He kept saying “It’s gonna fall short, it’s gonna fall short…” and then when it dropped in we were both so excited? And he told me right then and there that it would be replayed for a long time on all of those “best sports plays of all time” compilations
The most iconic shot and call in golf history. Tiger and Verne caught lightning in a bottle for this moment in time. I can watch this until the end of my life.
I remember seeing this when I was 14 years old in my living room, my dad's friend was watching and was screaming his head off and my dad was grilling in the backyard; I can safely say that I'll NEVER see a better golf shot in my life. I'm happy to say I actually saw it as it happened
Yes, the shot is one of the most iconic and amazing shots of all time. But man, looking at the crowd. Seeing all the high fives amongst the people there…….a special moment indeed. A reminder of how this game can bring so many together and create unforgettable memories. Beautiful!
I watched this live and jumped in the air as that ball fell in. If there is ever going to be a more perfect golf shot in the future… I wanna see it because this had it all. Masters 2024 starts in a couple hours can’t wait!
Probably the most Iconic shot in golf history. For sure of Tigers career. I was watching it live, with my mom like we did whenever Tiger played, but this is the one shot we always talk about. Sending her this clip now. 😊
The spectators/patrons at the Masters are just the best, nothing like the roar of a crowd down the fairways from the guy they're showing on the tv let us knew someone did something special somewhere and we'll see it very soon
Easily one of the greatest golf shots in history! I was a young A/V salesman and we had the masters playing on all the TVs in the shop. Such a moment 😊
I had an amazing lucky shot the last round I played. I holed out for an Eagle on a par 4 on the last hole. "In your life have you seen anything like that." I have now.
For anyone who hasn’t played on some of these championship courses the cameras do them no justice. The gradients of the hills and the all the twists and turns are crazy in person.
So thankful to have lived and watched every single Tiger tournament since he’s been a pro. Got to see him live win the PGA in 99, at the Ryder Cup, and another PGA. Just an all time memory this was like so many others. This may be the greatest call of Vernes career. Enjoy retirement Verne.
The most amazing part about this shot is it has EXACTLY the perfect amount on it to fall into the cup. Tiger not only judged the line perfectly it was also perfect pace. It was an all around perfect putt under huge pressure in a major.
This was by far the best shot I have ever witnessed in the game of golf in the sense that it was no accident or even luck. I will not only never forget it but remember exactly where and what I was doing when it happened. Tiger was magic.
This to me the greatest shot in the history of golf. Never been replicated since. And to pull it off during the final round of a major that subsequently lands you a green jacket, will be talked about for centuries.
This will never get old.
Nope.
Still makes me smile every time I see it.
who were the commentators?
Lanny Wadkins was the color man and I'm pretty sure the tower announcer on 16 was Verne Lundquist @@stewartcurtin9590

Still goosebumps watching this. One of, if not the greatest shots in the history of golf.
And the greatest call!
the greatest..last round of a major...final 3 holes. Iconic
@@backstreets76 Add the Nike logo finish just before it dropped. The executives must've been high fiving all over the place.
@@backstreets76 amazing shot, but followed it up with back to back bogeys to round out final three holes
@@BazookaJoe131313 He did but all's well that ends well.
The zoom-in on the ball was worth $20M in advertising for Nike.
it pays dividends to this day
As a guy that plays Nike there is nothing like seeing the Nike ball on the ground.
Add a zero to that number I think
Try a billion.
I still remember seeing those commercials all the time
I’ve been watching this on such low quality video for so long. It’s so refreshing and incredible to see it full HD.
Wouldn't call it full HD, but still way better than every other video of this on youtube.
The full 4th round replay is on UA-cam for nearly 4 years now and it is 1080P. Official Masters Channel.

@@TazTalksYouListen it aint that deep bro
Isn’t HD the best? It’s seriously the best thing that happened to TV but sports especially.
Unbelievable. Greatest shot in history. That last rotation for the ball to drop is truly poetic and something out of a movie
Exactly 💯
Larry Mize 1987 Masters at the 11th hole in playoff with Greg Norman. Chips in to win it all.
Thank you for such an iconic call Verne, and for the many wonderful memories at the masters we’ve been privileged to have. Golfs been better with your voice in it and we will all miss you greatly. Happy retirement Verne.
Well said!!!!!
“in your LIFE have you seen anything like that?” is the best call of any sport ever.
This call or the Miracle on ice “do you believe in miracles? Yes!” Are the 2 greatest in history. IMO.
@@ddsara6566 "And the band is on the field!" is pretty great too
Pure Vern.
Miracle and this call from Verne. Those are 1 and 1a. Debatable for best without a doubt.
"a win for the ages"
This is one of, if not the greatest golf shot ever shown on television. Had Tiger not made this shot, he wouldn’t have gone on to win. That’s what makes this shot legendary. Growing up during those years was awesome!
If he hadn't made that shot, he would have played 17 and 18 differently.
Absolutely! Life was happy then. NOTHING like today. I feel bad for the younger generation.
Chris DiMarco could have won
I was there! Right next to the big pine tree. What a moment I’ll never forget.

Hear! Hear!
YO PAUSE
watched this shot at least 1000 times... will watch 1000 times more

Still get chills everytime.
I was gonna say the same thing. I remember watching it live just absolutely insane
Finally we can watch one of the greatest golf shots of all time in HD!
One of the absolute most iconic moments in sports history. Like Jordan hitting the cross over three vs the Jazz, or Jeter’s quick flip at home plate, etc.
American sports history I guess you mean.

Beautiful. I remember watching it live back home in Scotland and applauding wildly at the tv 💛
I just noticed the fringe behind the ball makes this shot 10x harder than it already is
Same here. This is the first time I noticed that.
0:38 they literally say it here lol
Tigers insane
It's not the fringe, it's the short rough, or second cut. The fringe starts where the green ends and then meets the second cut.
Came to say this lol forces you to come in steep on the ball. Insane.
After countless viewings of this shot, it still brings tears to my eyes.

The GOAT.
This shot by Tiger NEVER gets old. A true master at work.
I watched this live as it happened and I’ll never forget it!
As a near scratch golfer with a mere handicap of 845, I can confidently say this is one of the best golf shots in history
Greatest moment in pro golf history. It has everything. Such an unbelievable shot.
I watched this 10 times in a row. Most dramatic shot I've seen.
No matter what, Tiger gave us that moment. Simply amazing.
I will never forget watching this live.
So incredible to do that under pressure!
The way DiMarco just stops walking as the ball starts tracking always gets me. He just knew.
Great call…I’d love to know what CDM actually thought when this went in…in the few glimpses of him in this clip could not help but feel like he was all alone out there.
He woulda had him if he didn't birdie that hole. Even with that birdie, he pushed Tiger to a playoff.
@@bengaltiger96 I don't think Tiger woulda gone back to back bogies had he not made that tho. He always did what he needed back then.

Perhaps the greatest Masters moment of all time. Maybe even the greatest golf moment of all time.
This will always be the most iconic shot from Tiger I will always remember, but the call was out of this world…. Thank you Verne Lundquist❤❤❤❤
I’m so happy I watched this live with my father. I’ve never seen him jump out of his chair, he did for this.
Same man! Great memories watching Tiger with Dad!
I’m starting to feel old. This was back in 2005, next year will be 20 years since it happened. I still remember watching this as a kid!

All these years later after watching this live on tv and I’m still convinced the crowds “oooooo” made this ball go in.

Dude jump started golf, absolute sports legend! That shot alone, defines his legacy!! Love it, makes me want to go play 18 now
*NEVER. GETS. OLD*
Every now and then, I have to watch this!
Love the commentary before he takes it, just explaining how difficult it is and giving him no hope of getting it close 😂

Favorite shot of all time. 2nd the putt on 17 at the players and 3rd the shot in the dark at firestone
Watching tiger working out where to chip it is magical ❤
What an Iconic moment Never gets old too see
This is why I started watching golf ❤
...
I could watch that ball drop in that hole every day for the rest of my life and it would never get old.
That is the greatest shot in Tiger's career. He has other great shots before but this one tops all. Great camera work too!

E P I C...He will never be duplicated..the GOAT
I was watching this at my apartment during law school; my dad was watching at his home in Pennsylvania.
I started dialing BEFORE the ball went in...
