327 yard drive on the 72nd hole...with a 43 inch steel shaft, an old Nike golf ball it was a fade with minimal roll. Probably a 315-320 carry. With today's equipment(2 inch longer graphite shaft, better golf ball, lower spin rates) it's an easy 340 carry. He was such a beast back then.
It was a 43.5 inch 7.5° Titleist 975D with Dynamic Gold X100 and Golf Pride Velvet Cord grip logo down, swingweight around D4. Plays traditional lofts in his irons, even now. He was longer with his irons than even the pros now, but he didn’t need to be. And at this point in his career, he played a still very spinny golf ball, not very forgiving. This was the greatest 20 month ride in Golf History. Tiger actually won 5 out of 6 majors from the ‘99 PGA to the 2001 Masters… Absolute GOAT stretch. 17 Tour wins in 20 months.
Grand Slam, Tiger Slam, call it what you will, this is four majors in a row. The golf he was playing at this time is the game's current all-time benchmark.
@Tony golf was not way more exiting way back when as you say, pay attention!! I watched back then also, you’re simply being a stubborn old man to claim such a statement!! Get real & get up w/the times, I know it’s hard for old stubborn men like you..
In a 20 month stretch he won 5 majors, 17 tournaments and finished top 5 in the lone major he didn't win. Arguably the greatest stretch in the history of American professional sports.

The way Tiger has dominated his sport, no one in the history of sports has dominated a generation like he has. He truly is in the top 2 or 3 sportsman to ever walk this earth. That’s my opinion.
Pretty pathetic he declined an interview after losing to Tiger, he’s a very poor sport!!

You beat me to it, I was going to say the same thing. The Green Beret mentality he instilled in Tiger cannot be overstated. Well done Earl!

Youngsters these days will possibly never know how big of a deal this tournament was at the time. People forget Duvall had knocked Tiger off the world number 1 spot. Mickleson playing at his tops. It was awesome to behold live.
The golf journalism world is probably sick to death of the hyperbole (I distinctly remember Dan Jenkins in Golf Digest trying his hardest to temper the Tigermania in the mid-2000s, haha), but you're absolutely right. Tiger's dominance during this period prevented a LOT of excellent golfers from earning their own first major(s).
@@pdc-cp4uv I forget which of the golf magazines followed up with him with an interview a while back, but the gist of it that I remember was that by the time he had won the Open in 2001, he had been nursing quite a few injuries that finally caught up with him. (It's also why he has a noticeable reverse pivot in his swing from this point forward - a testament to his talent that he still made it not only work, but competitive!) It further compounded with his driver "yips", and it combined with a general exhaustion from the pressures of the PGA tour.
@@pdc-cp4uv Then he made a cameo at the 2009 U.S. Open. Duval missed about a 3 foot putt on the 71st hole otherwise he would’ve been in a playoff with Lucas Glover.
That year and a half stretch he had between October of 97 and April of 99 was amazing. He won 11 times during that stretch...definitely the best golfer on the planet during that time. And that 59 he shot at the 99 Bob Hope Chrysler Classic on Sunday to win by one shot was also amazing.
Don’t forget Tiger also won The Players two weeks before this Masters, so he held the 5 biggest prizes in golf all at the same time with this win. I would say it’s impossible if it hadn’t been done. It will never be done again and if it is I’ll be the first guy to admit I was wrong but it’s just not possible.
amlnet49 with the talent in todays game, it’s highly unlikely because the competition every week but one of the young guys could do something special. Rory and jordan are the two that come to mind when it comes to something like a grand slam
This was a straight missile launch with 40+ feet of curve. You can hear the fans going bananas when they hear his ball land right next to them and realize it’s his tee shot. It was also like 35 yards past Phil
This was the year that so much in the country changed, and we're still seeing the affects of those changes today -- Tiger Woods completed the "Tiger Slam", the world was introduced to Tom Brady, and the tragedy of 9/11.
I'd remember this game vividly back then, when he won the master, he put the cap on his face ,look like crying but relief from stress.woww amazing golfer!!😏😎👏👏
Tiger’s twelve month span, (April 2000-April 2001) is not only the greatest year in golf history, the greatest year for any athlete ever IMO. Even better than Jordan and I’m a Jordan homer
Yeah in one year, from losing Masters 2000 to Vijah, he won 9 times on the PGA tour, won all 4 majors by a combined 25 strokes and ofc won Players too, May 29, 2000 Memorial Tournament Jun 18, 2000 U.S. Open Jul 23, 2000 The Open Championship Aug 20, 2000 PGA Championship Aug 27, 2000 WGC-NEC Invitational Sep 10, 2000 Bell Canadian Open Mar 18, 2001 Bay Hill Invitational Mar 25, 2001 The Players Championship Apr 8, 2001 Masters Tournament
The pressure on these champions is unknown to the rest of us, but when the putt goes in, at first, there is no joy in Woods...just an intense sense of relief.
Pressure? Tiger was cheating on his wife during this time with more than 30 women. Whatever pressure Tiger was experiencing, he found a way to deal with it . 🐯🏌️
I feel like calling it a Tiger Slam has pros and cons. David Duval vouches for it being a Grand Slam, it was 4 majors in a row, no matter that it overlapped seasons. In fact, numerous pros argue that it was an even more incredible achievement given that Tiger maintained the motivation, energy, and focus from 2000 through to the new 2001 season.
You don’t even have to call it a “slam” or whatever they wanna refer to its as. He’s the only man to ever win four majors in a row. That’s the record no matter what you call it
The older golfers were so jealous of Tiger and couldn't believe that golf could be played at that level that even the commentators were running out of descriptive words. I specifically remember realizing this as it was playing out in real life in 2001. So funny to hear them nowand their loss for words.
Absolutely LOVE Tiger and his parents. I love the way that he honors his parents and references the other people that helped him to get where he was at that moment. And I greatly admire how classy Phil is in defeat. Some of the others to lose to Tiger have been a bit salty about it.
I can't imagine why they are salty! Golf is an individual game, you make it or you don't! If you don't make it there is no one to blame. You just have to work harder to achieve your goals. Period.
These were the days alright. Such a stacked field, Woods, Phil, Duval, Els, Cabrera, Miguel Jimenez, even the announcers Feherty, Faldo. This was pre-9/11. What a golden era it was in retrospect.
"Something I never dream that I would ever see or rather thought that anyone could ever do, I think it's the greatest feat I've ever knew in all of sports"
What a phenomenal achievement! That will never happen again! Tiger is in my opinion the greatest of all time. Jack may have 3 more majors but Tiger has more wins and hit so many unbelievable shots exactly when he needed to. Tiger has a more complete all round game too, he has all the shots. I think Jack admitted himself he wasn't the best of bunker players. Love these old films, very inspiring and just fantastic to look back on great golf and achievements!⛳🏌️💪🏼
something more remarkable about this. I heard some sports guys talking about it a few yrs. back. 2000, Tiger wins the last 3 majors, then the Canadian Open that same year with that ridiculous 6 iron out the bunker on 18, fast forward to 2001, the Players championship (the better than most putt on 17) was the week before the 01 Masters. He wins those two. So until the 01 US Open, He held all those 6 titles at the same time + won them consecutively. Unreal.
it´s the smallest thing really, but that putter toss from Steve Williams to Tiger on 11after that amazing approach shot, and knowing that Phil was still having to take a wedge in was such a boss move- this is why Tiger dominated the game so much back then - there were plenty of other great players around, but he was the MAN and let everyone know it.
Listen closely at 37:40 after play cuts to the leaderboard, underneath the music, I believe it may be Nantz saying to Oosterhuis "...shouldn't say "back nine..."
canag0d nope the tournament forbids all broadcasters from saying “back nine” and always has. The saying is “second nine on Sunday” if you’re watching the official broadcast. If you’re watching golf channel they may call it something else
Can I just say, I love the birdsong as Woods is standing over that final putt. It's like the perfect, serene moment just at the climax of a colossal event.
@@jamespitts10 He won it three times, plus two other majors. But who's counting? Clearly Tiger is the only player to ever win any majors according to some people 🤷♂️
Daniel Barwatt 2 time masters champ. Countless other times in contention. He proved he could play Augusta. Obviously he’s not tiger but he’s a *great* champion.
People love to downplay what Tiger competed against. Which is why I love stats.....for your review. Els: 71 Mickelson: 49 Singh: 62 Love: 36 Couples: 62 Daly: 18 Duval: 20 S.Garcai: 33 Spieth: 14 D.Johnson: 18 Watson: 11 Mcilory: 23 Day: 16 J.Thomas: 9
J024 this was just an overstatement as this wasn’t even golf’s greatest moment at the time. Golf’s greatest moment is the 1997 Masters and it would take something earth shattering to ever change that. It’s still the most watched golf tournament of all time, and 2019 is meaningless without the parallel of 1997. I would say 2019 Masters is probably second.
I just wish there was more Phil vs Tiger competition. The two best players at the time by far, is either one was on their game no one had a shot to beat them. Tiger is obviously the all time great but I take all my inspiration from Phils short game it’s just so incredible
Phil is a classy gentleman. I wish Tiger could have a successful personal life. Unfortunately it's not the case. Otherwise, Tiger will be the all time greatest golfer.
Personal life has nothing to do w/professional accomplishments!! Tiger smokes Phil’s accomplishments to date & there is zero argument. I realize certain keyboard warriors hate on Tiger, but they are just that, keyboard warriors who are either jealous, full of hate, or who knows..
Tiger slam, Phil major at 50 and yes, Watson almost winning 2009 British Open....possibly all equally the greatest moments in all golf history! The slam takes it as that's a full year of ridiculousness!
There should be a video for posterity...collating every shot documented of his golf career. Maybe just his wins and sent to the Smithsonian. The greatest golf ever deserves to be a national treasure
Extremely likely The last human being that will ever win four consecutive major championships Since 1989 no man has won more than six apart from this man
Given the number of one major wonders that have come and gone in the game since 2001, no way that someone will ever get near 4 in a row. Spieth got 2 in a row, but the US Open was pretty lucky.
@@AlonsoRules He also came close at the Open Championship and PGA in 2015 as well. I honestly believed that if Spieth had been able to pull off the comeback at St. Andrews, he would have gone on to win at Whistling Straits and complete the season "Grand Slam."
Hey coach hope all is well I introduced your channel to several individuals and they pick it up like you have taught me I'm walking the 9 now and your method is my pathway I stop beating myself up I've been tamed 😊.I'm not whacking away at it anymore. I'm very interested in how low can I actually get my score if I truly concentrate at this and use your technique I'm in a new place now with distance my short game has to get better putting is okay but choosing the right club when you're 120 yards out or 150 out whichever one making the right decision is key I'm sure you'll come out with a video on your short game soon thanks a lot You're humble student Eric Howard Sr
"About one hour ago" gave me a real double-take right from the start. I guess it wasn't that long ago that televised coverage of the majors didn't start until almost the back nine. . EDIT: Also they didn't show the final group's tee shots on 8 -- which felt like something you wouldn't have seen them miss in the mid-1980s. :-)
WOW, I can't believe how much time has passed since this win at the Masters. I'm seeing names on the Leaderboard I haven't seen for years, which brings me back to 2021 and the many Majors Tiger has Won since! I get so caught-up in watching this video, like the other "Tigers Greatest Moments" video's I have in my Video Library I forget that 20 year's has passed since this Event/Video. I just hope that Tiger can recover enough to be able to play and play well. I'm not a celebrity news watcher so I don't know of how is recovery from his recent car accident is going or any statements he has made concerning his recovery and thoughts about if he will play more Tournaments. My hope is to see him play again which I guess is a bit selfish considering how many special moments he has given us all throughout his career, but I also wish him a Full Recovery, even if that includes him retiring from the game he loves so much, if that's what it takes for him to remain healthy. If it does mean retirement for him, we still have a Treasure Trove of video's online we can enjoy and re-live those Many Special Moments Tiger has given us. Thanks Tiger and Goodluck in whatever you choose to do after retirement.
I have lived to see my Cowboys win 3 super bowls my vols win a national title and MJ win 6 NBA titles and the Tiger slam the only thing that out does this is the birth of my 2 sons.......It is sad that David has faded away over the years..........

The older golfers were so jealous of Tiger and couldn't believe that golf could be played at that level that even the commentators were running out of descriptive words. I specifically remember realizing this as it was playing out in real life in 2001. So funny to hear them nowand their loss for words.
Moment referenced in "War of Art" at 1:47:28 in case anyone's looking for it
Thanks!
Came for that!
Thank you!!!
What's this all about..just curious
Isn’t it ,”Art of War”?
Earl woods what great human being he even congratulated Phill on a great tourney sad tht hes gone but he got to witnesse his son achieve greatness
The best tournament... watching the Tiger slam in 2001...totally Awesome...
Absolutely LOVE Tiger and his parents. I love the way that he honors his parents and references the other people that helped him to get where he was at that moment. And I greatly admire how classy Phil is in defeat. Some of the others to lose to Tiger have been a bit salty about it.
I can't imagine why they are salty!
Golf is an individual game, you make it or you don't!
If you don't make it there is no one to blame.
You just have to work harder to achieve your goals. Period.
@@beckyhenkel7917 Amen Becky. So well said.
I love how salty Tigers wife's was when she found out her husband cheated on her more than 30 times. She used a 9 iron we think. 😂
One of the great accomplishments in sports history
It’s just beyond amazing what one person can do when they understand what they really want out of life!
Appreciate you sharing this video with the rest of us ❤.
i wish this could be the final pairing for every masters
Thank you, Masters, for posting all of these!!! Sports nerds like me greatly appreciate it!!

The banter would be top quality between these two!
This was more impressive than 4 majors in a season, he had to hear and think about for 6 months and still won.
These were the days alright. Such a stacked field, Woods, Phil, Duval, Els, Cabrera, Miguel Jimenez, even the announcers Feherty, Faldo. This was pre-9/11. What a golden era it was in retrospect.
what has 9/11 got to do with it?
@@tfootball8704not much besides the world was a very different place
Let’s not forget Vijay, Freddy, Omeara, Stricker, Fax… some staples of the game
"Something I never dream that I would ever see or rather thought that anyone could ever do, I think it's the greatest feat I've ever knew in all of sports"
we will always remember your remarkable works on golf sport suberb
Bro you commented like 5 times lol
Thank you Masters for uploading this……
I remember watching this when I was 5
2:30:37 I cried at that moment. What an accomplishment, and what a relief.
What a phenomenal achievement! That will never happen again! Tiger is in my opinion the greatest of all time. Jack may have 3 more majors but Tiger has more wins and hit so many unbelievable shots exactly when he needed to. Tiger has a more complete all round game too, he has all the shots. I think Jack admitted himself he wasn't the best of bunker players. Love these old films, very inspiring and just fantastic to look back on great golf and achievements!⛳🏌️💪🏼
If Jack played at his prime level, but during the time of Tiger, he’s just another dude they’re talking about on the golf channel as an underachiever.
something more remarkable about this. I heard some sports guys talking about it a few yrs. back. 2000, Tiger wins the last 3 majors, then the Canadian Open that same year with that ridiculous 6 iron out the bunker on 18, fast forward to 2001, the Players championship (the better than most putt on 17) was the week before the 01 Masters. He wins those two. So until the 01 US Open, He held all those 6 titles at the same time + won them consecutively. Unreal.
Tiger is the best ever!! Love watching this man’s highlights, in which I watched in real time over the last several decades!!
Tiger is not the GOAT.. he’s just barely in the Top-5 All-time Greats..
A relaxed and composed Tiger. How I miss HIM. When he was like that, man was he a thrill to watch.
Hopefully he can show some signs of this Tiger this week like he did at Eastlake last year!
@@CCROGGY Same I wonder if he won the masters or not?
@@wilsonodom4913 He sure did!! 5 time champ now!
The Tiger Slam! Winning all four majors in a row. That is the greatest accomplishment in Golf History.
Tony Vasquez - Pro Golf Coach It would’ve been earth-shattering if he won all 4 in a single calendar year .
Carl Spackler's win at Augusta.
Any chance these classics get an upscale update to 1080p maybe even 4k?
Never gets old watching this.
For, me, this is when Tiger became the goat.
The 'unprecedented slam' is golf's, greatest, achievement, in history.
it´s the smallest thing really, but that putter toss from Steve Williams to Tiger on 11after that amazing approach shot, and knowing that Phil was still having to take a wedge in was such a boss move- this is why Tiger dominated the game so much back then - there were plenty of other great players around, but he was the MAN and let everyone know it.
Listen closely at 37:40 after play cuts to the leaderboard, underneath the music, I believe it may be Nantz saying to Oosterhuis "...shouldn't say "back nine..."
I think it's because Augusta National is uppity and like them called the 'first' and 'second' nine
Weird yep I heard it.
Roy K Lawson this is not true. In fact one of their slogans is “the tournament actually starts on the back nine on Sunday”
canag0d nope the tournament forbids all broadcasters from saying “back nine” and always has. The saying is “second nine on Sunday” if you’re watching the official broadcast. If you’re watching golf channel they may call it something else
I remember reading about the ‘men of the masters’. Has to be patrons not crowd etc. So many rules but that’s what I love about it
Can I just say, I love the birdsong as Woods is standing over that final putt. It's like the perfect, serene moment just at the climax of a colossal event.
Eastern Towhee, in case you're interested. :)
@@shumandaniele Ah, I am interested! I love learning about birds from around the world. Cheers :)
Back when the Masters was basically the Tiger Invitational
😂💯🐐❤️
Gotta respect Phil. If there was no Tiger, Phil would be seen as the greatest of his era.
@@MrMGR1986 If if if
@justsomeguy nobody would know him even though he won the masters twice? Lol.
@@jamespitts10 He won it three times, plus two other majors. But who's counting? Clearly Tiger is the only player to ever win any majors according to some people 🤷♂️
10:15 “if you can’t putt here don’t even bother playing here” tiger makes it. Poor Phil misses it.
Daniel Barwatt 2 time masters champ. Countless other times in contention. He proved he could play Augusta. Obviously he’s not tiger but he’s a *great* champion.
@@marticehasty2837 he’s a 3 time champ
People love to downplay what Tiger competed against. Which is why I love stats.....for your review.
Els: 71
Mickelson: 49
Singh: 62
Love: 36
Couples: 62
Daly: 18
Duval: 20
S.Garcai: 33
Spieth: 14
D.Johnson: 18
Watson: 11
Mcilory: 23
Day: 16
J.Thomas: 9
this is total world wide wins?
yes. easy to google.
Those were the days when golf was exciting as ever!! Lots of these young esters wont understand!
Sad, that I would hurry home after 18 holes to watch golf. Now, I don't even know who the players are.
@@j.r.nicasio2098 that sounds like your problem, not golfs.
51:52, little did he know; Golf's greatest moment would actually take place 18 years later.
@@DTB1995 I don't agree.
J024 this was just an overstatement as this wasn’t even golf’s greatest moment at the time. Golf’s greatest moment is the 1997 Masters and it would take something earth shattering to ever change that. It’s still the most watched golf tournament of all time, and 2019 is meaningless without the parallel of 1997. I would say 2019 Masters is probably second.
12:55 Well..... We all know what happened in 1968. Roberto may not have "won" the tournament. But he certainly played the fewest strokes.
I just wish there was more Phil vs Tiger competition. The two best players at the time by far, is either one was on their game no one had a shot to beat them. Tiger is obviously the all time great but I take all my inspiration from Phils short game it’s just so incredible
Phil is a classy gentleman. I wish Tiger could have a successful personal life. Unfortunately it's not the case. Otherwise, Tiger will be the all time greatest golfer.
Personal life has nothing to do w/professional accomplishments!! Tiger smokes Phil’s accomplishments to date & there is zero argument. I realize certain keyboard warriors hate on Tiger, but they are just that, keyboard warriors who are either jealous, full of hate, or who knows..
@@jeffmorrison6086 While Tiger could smash Jack's record if there is no such glitch in his personal life. Now he has zero chance.
not "by far." Vijay Singh and Ernie Els were on Phil's level at this time
@@monortues Phil is not classy. He may not be infidel like Tiger, but he's not classy either
HISTORY IS MADE NO MATER WHAT ANYONE SAYS THE KING HAS ARRIVED; TIGER WOODS
Tiger slam, Phil major at 50 and yes, Watson almost winning 2009 British Open....possibly all equally the greatest moments in all golf history! The slam takes it as that's a full year of ridiculousness!
There should be a video for posterity...collating every shot documented of his golf career. Maybe just his wins and sent to the Smithsonian. The greatest golf ever deserves to be a national treasure
What an intro by Nantz. Brings a tear to my eye
Tissues are in abundance
Extremely likely The last human being that will ever win four consecutive major championships Since 1989 no man has won more than six apart from this man
Given the number of one major wonders that have come and gone in the game since 2001, no way that someone will ever get near 4 in a row. Spieth got 2 in a row, but the US Open was pretty lucky.
@@AlonsoRules He also came close at the Open Championship and PGA in 2015 as well. I honestly believed that if Spieth had been able to pull off the comeback at St. Andrews, he would have gone on to win at Whistling Straits and complete the season "Grand Slam."
Hey coach hope all is well
I introduced your channel to several individuals and they pick it up like you have taught me
I'm walking the 9 now and your method is my pathway I stop beating myself up I've been tamed 😊.I'm not whacking away at it anymore.
I'm very interested in how low can I actually get my score if I truly concentrate at this and use your technique I'm in a new place now with distance my short game has to get better putting is okay but choosing the right club when you're 120 yards out or 150 out whichever one making the right decision is key I'm sure you'll come out with a video on your short game soon thanks a lot You're humble student Eric Howard Sr
I loved skinny tiger wearing the extra large shirts. Like Clark Kent wearing glasses, hiding the fact he's Superman. We all know who you are man!
is that a freudian slip?
@@barndencactus never crossed my mind. But now that you mention it...
"About one hour ago" gave me a real double-take right from the start. I guess it wasn't that long ago that televised coverage of the majors didn't start until almost the back nine.
.
EDIT: Also they didn't show the final group's tee shots on 8 -- which felt like something you wouldn't have seen them miss in the mid-1980s. :-)
Wow, his fourth consecutive professional major title, incredible
The birdie on 18, Earl's hug; CHILLS 🐐🐅
How did Duvall not win a Masters???? I guess that speaks to how hard it is to accomplish.
Because he was washed up by age 30. All his tour wins came within a span of four years.
1:12:38 Hahaha, that's what you do when you almost hole it out winning the masters.
Look of satisfaction after the 18th tee shot. No one has ever felt that. All 4 pro majors
we may never see something of this nature again great job Tiger woods
WOW, I can't believe how much time has passed since this win at the Masters. I'm seeing names on the Leaderboard I haven't seen for years, which brings me back to 2021 and the many Majors Tiger has Won since! I get so caught-up in watching this video, like the other "Tigers Greatest Moments" video's I have in my Video Library I forget that 20 year's has passed since this Event/Video. I just hope that Tiger can recover enough to be able to play and play well. I'm not a celebrity news watcher so I don't know of how is recovery from his recent car accident is going or any statements he has made concerning his recovery and thoughts about if he will play more Tournaments. My hope is to see him play again which I guess is a bit selfish considering how many special moments he has given us all throughout his career, but I also wish him a Full Recovery, even if that includes him retiring from the game he loves so much, if that's what it takes for him to remain healthy. If it does mean retirement for him, we still have a Treasure Trove of video's online we can enjoy and re-live those Many Special Moments Tiger has given us. Thanks Tiger and Goodluck in whatever you choose to do after retirement.

I have lived to see my Cowboys win 3 super bowls my vols win a national title and MJ win 6 NBA titles and the Tiger slam the only thing that out does this is the birth of my 2 sons.......It is sad that David has faded away over the years..........
Epic movie brother. Enjoyed every second!!
THE GOAT...by almost every metric. The only GOLFER that was so dominant and exciting that he made GOLF cool. No other golfer even came close to trascending their sport like he did.
Ken venturi is past his prime here..Jimmy on the other hand is spot on
1:47:27 is described in Steven Pressfield’s 2002 book The War of Art.
Man I have to say Duval's swing is smooth!!
When the goat became the goat
I was born in 1999 but I prefer these older early 2000s broadcasts compared to how they are today.
I still have much difficulty, with the comentators ,analysis of the players performance.,I have my own opinion of what I See , However Thanks for the Memories. Dobie Wan Kanobie . revisited 20/October/2023 California Love to All❤❤❤❤
Love the moment at 01:12:36 when Tiger almost eagles the 11th, and walking to the green his caddie throws the putter, such a cool pairing 😎
Tiger really was a rubber band in those days, the 2 shots on 13 are ridiculous
Talk about an all star leaderboard! Holy mother.
78 yards out on 18?
I read the building over the creek, near Hole 11 and 12 seen at 54:24 was built by German POW's during the WW II. Its and cover bridge used by Course personal.
I'am sorry, shown at 54:12.
This version of Tiger is THE GREATEST GOLFER OF ALL TIME. UNSTOPPABLE.
the number of R1->R2's he could get in before the top of his back swing... just wow. he was michael jordan back then (mj wishes), privilege to have grow up with it. thanks tiger, and thanks to whoever in georgia for putting up these broadcasts, there's now something worth watching on youtube!
Tigers drive at 18 and Bubbas at 13 were ridiculously long fades
This will always be the GREATEST masters ever
When Tiger was playing I was watching golf. When Tiger wasn’t playing, I was playing golf!
love the steel shafted 975 driver he had in those days with that swing so much more control seem when he went to graphite his driving accuracy went downhill see the beginning of duvals career breakdown too could have easily won this tilt imo
It was important to him to birdie 18, despite only needing par for the Slam. That attitude is why he is so great.
