1999 Masters Tournament Final Round Broadcast

Watch the complete final round broadcast of the 1999 Masters. Jose Maria Olazabal finishes two strokes ahead of Davis Love III to win his second Masters.

[@norman-gregory]

A humble man with a beautiful swing and always a calm demeanor. Jose Maria Olazabal congratulations even in 2023.

[@johnboisvert993]

An underrated Masters, as others have mentioned. Greg never backed down from the spotlight, and what a comeback for Olazabal from his physical ailments. Always understated and never gets the attention he deserves as one of the great European players in history!

[@threerings1345]

Olazabal''s birdie putt at the 13th, 30 seconds after Norman's explosive eagle was one of the biggest shots of the tournament. It took a lot of the starch off what could have been a huge momentum swing in the shark's favor. Norman sealed his fate on 15 looking frustrated and nervous, while Olazabal played mistake free all the way home.

[@luckystrikes9291]

Right after Olazabal sinks his putt Norman gives him the finger point and Jose gives it right back. Great stuff.

[@KYExtemper]

@Paul Steinwall Definitely. Norman also made a run at the 1999 Open Championship through two days but found trouble near the end of the day on Friday. Based on how wild that tournament was, if he'd found a way to steady himself he might've had a chance to benefit from Van de Velde's collapse. Also, he started the 2000 Masters at like +8 and clawed it all the way back to E by the end of the tournament. Vijay won at -10, so if Greg had only shot a 70 on Thursday he could've mounted one last charge. Lots of what ifs as the Shark's career wound down by this stage.

[@carloslugo4526]

Kept Jose Maria olazabal in the lead Which was huge. Plus he still lead pate and love Because of that putt. 😊

[@HarryLivestream]

The best short game ever Jose M Olazabal

[@garyd9340]

Peter kostis brilliant commentary will be missed. Rare insights from most knowledgeable guy out there.

[@martysykes3221]

The European contingent of this era said that Jose Maria had no equal from five feet and closer with his putter. Superb iron play and short game won this Masters for him. He’s a great ambassador for the game, a humble soul and a worthy champion.

[@Stu-SB]

Agreed 100%, outstanding player !

[@RG-ja34sep]

It’s almost criminal that Davis Love III has ONLY ONE Major Championship to his name. The guy had everything, superbly talented, incredibly long off the tee, fantastic iron player, classic golf swing and a brilliant short game. I just can’t work it out??? As for Greg Norman, he’s been very unlucky in many Majors, but has often made mistakes at the wrong time in the final round to throw away his chances of adding more majors at the following tournaments, the Masters, The Open Championship and US Open.

[@azapro911]

The forgotten Norman shot at winning the Masters...and his last.

[@LDis1]

As well as 1995. He could have won that easily as well.

[@scalzini26]

Don’t forget about 89. If he pared the last he would have been in the playoff. Made a great run on the back 9.

[@keiththompson2172]

scalzini26 great play by Norman until he thought he could win, then things started going wrong . In 1986 he also had chance to playoff with Nicklaus ,He wimped out and took 3 wood on 18(he was among the longest hitters of his day), hit it short and blocked a 4 iron way right into the crowds leading to bogey . Sad, but he got himself into contention time and time again, only once he realised he had a chance of winning , played ‘safe’ and blew it . Shame for him but great for viewers

[@seansack609]

The 59th and final major win for what was, at one time, the unquestioned leader in club manufacturing, MacGregor Golf.

[@j.w.matney8390]

My dad had a set of 1960's era MacGregor MT's that were beautiful.

[@bretts4544]

One of the underrated Masters Tournaments. I feel for Greg never getting it done, but Jose out played the whole field down the closing stretch on one of the toughest Sundays in Masters history.The putts made by Norman on 11 and 13 produced roars that gives you chills. Amazing how not a single player broke 70 that day.

[@DanielSong39]

Greg Norman also made a run in the British Open later that season but finished 3 strokes out of a playoff.

[@bretts4544]

Could’ve won 5 majors at least had momentum shifted slightly for him.

[@oliverizzard8751]

Yeah, feels like the roars were low for olazabal. That "hold my beer" bird on 13 and incredible tee-shot on 16 deserved more for a former champion.

[@keiththompson2172]

Olazabal maxes out his talent with 4 on 11 (great 2 putt) , 12 bunker shot to tap in, long difficult downhill birdie putt on 13, finds green from trouble on 17. Norman couldn’t alllow himself to attack enough (as always when in contention at Masters), his 3 wood on 10 - leading to bogey, couldn’t back up his great birdie on 12 with a weak iron and bogey, and eagle in 13 with a weak right rough tee shot leading to bogey . One of his toughest losses I guess after the pain of ‘96 & the realisation that time was running out . Westwood had a similar Masters experience , leading then blowing it like this final round where he couldn’t judge the bunker shots. Tough game but great footage again.

[@jordanboteler8978]

This was the warmest masters ever that’s why it was hard the average temp was 74

[@trlprk]

1999, one of the most memorable years in golf. Payne Stewart's win at Pinehurst, and subsequent death later in the year. Jean Van De Velde meltdown at Carnoustie. Tigers dual with Bob May in the PGA , and one of the greatest Ryder Cup comebacks of all time.

[@TheLocalLt]

trlprk Tiger dueled Sergio in the 1999 PGA. The duel with May was in 2000

[@trlprk]

amlnet49 yes, you are right, thanks for clarifying, I can't believe its been this long. Where does the time go

[@otresplumbing1255]

High water mark of modern golf

[@icon2731]

Didn't know before watching this that Davis Love III pulled off the Tiger shot on 16 before Tiger ever did.

[@RG-ja34sep]

Davis Love’s chip in at the 16th hole was definitely a more difficult shot than Tiger’s!

[@stooch66]

I knew it at the time Tiger made his that David had done it and shown the way, but nobody would ever be allowed to say that. Tiger HAD to be the innovator.

[@markbrown-bk1lr]

I went to this masters I was 20 yrs old I remember following Davis Love the III. All I can remember is how far he would drive the ball off the tee.

[@blackstaticband]

I love this old footage

[@phillipjohnson7583]

It is really pleasant to see how everyone pulled for Greg to WIN a Masters...really shines as to what a guy Greg is!

[@tomvanoosterhout788]

This hasn't aged well.

[@datsie14]

Steve Pate’s shirts is so in the moment love the style from this era

[@stumarston6812]

For golf fans, all the majors are great to watch but for me there's something extra special about The Master's.

[@whetedge]

Gene Sarazen's final year to start The Masters. He passed 2 months later at age 97. What a sweet swing.

[@BigBoshV]

I've watched from 1980 to this Masters here. I love this playlist but I just wish the thumbnail wasn't of the winner because I didn't know until I started watching a few weeks ago...

[@tomdallas3690]

Ken Venturi with a brilliant call at 15 minutes on Greg Norman's putt.

[@carloslugo4526]

That bunker save on 12 by Jose Maria won him this Masters.

[@Simon-nv5zj]

Can remember watching when Norman made eagle on 13 and thinking, this is it! Olazabel played so calm though, a great Masters!

[@KYExtemper]

Ken Venturi was rooting so hard for Norman. You can tell by the call on #13. It hurts to watch this tournament, but every time that I do I think that Norman is going to win after that putt on 13.

[@LDis1]

Yes. Greg could have won this as well.

[@keiththompson2172]

He must have thought Olazabal would miss the putt - Norman never got any breathing space and the pressure on his face after his drives increased as the round progressed (especially on 14 tee shot)

[@KYExtemper]

@@keiththompson2172 Definitely. I think if Olazabal missed that birdie on 13 that Norman may have been able to harness the momentum from that hole to win, but we'll never know.

[@DanielSong39]

18 years later, Garcia would win low professional.

[@65g4]

Yeah it took a long time for garcia to do it sadly greg never did

[@aaronchan1088]

he narrowly missed the birdie on the 72nd hole, but benefited from justin rose's wayward tee shot to win the first sudden death playoff hole. took him long enough... after all the close calls.

[@KYExtemper]

That opening video package is awesome, yet hard to stomach as a Norman fan. I thought he had it after the eagle on 13 but Olazabal answered with a birdie and out-dueled Norman down the stretch.

[@steverapposelli6104]

I played golf because of him

[@mattkrause1573]

I'll never forget when Greg pointed to him after Jose made the birdie then pointed back. One of those moments that stick with me.

[@davidluck1678]

Norman set himself up very nicely with that Eagle @ 13. And then, once again, could not deliver. Drives on 14 and 15, 6' birdie putt on 16, all muffed.

[@elsincuello]

Extraordinario Chema. Un tremendo deportista. Un honor llevar su mismo nombre, y una pena para mí tener un alto índice 😁

[@dmkappa62]

Not that Greg’s had a bad life or hardship, quite the opposite. But he really deserved a green jacket. The amount of great performances from him and entertainment really should have got him one

[@65g4]

Its amazing he only won 2 majors the open twice he could have won at least 6 i reckon

[@DanielSong39]

1996 was painful

[@havadatequila]

What does "deserve" mean in sports? Norman was a scumbag when it came to women, and maybe that was in the back of his head when he choked in '96?

[@havadatequila]

@Pighead Pigchenko sure he was, and he also lost his career for it.

[@WONGLER]

@@havadatequila Why scumbag ?

[@barath4545]

3:11:20 So much like Tiger 2005. Just more to the left of the hole.

[@piffpete420]

You can see how uncomfortable Norman was under pressure. Bad luck had nothing to do with his “heartbreaking” loses and close calls. He put himself in those situations

[@mitchellberlin1557]

I just rewatched this Masters. I totally agree that none of Norman's losses can be chalked up to bad luck. His bogey on 18--after a near shank--kept him out of a playoff with Nicklaus in 1986. He was one shot ahead of both Mize and Ballesteros going into the fourth round and ended up in a playoff in 1987. And he choked away a six shot lead to Faldo to lose by five strokes in 1996. At this tournament, on the 15 hole he dumped a wedge into the sand and air mailed his shot out of the sand to bogey the hole and missed a five foot putt on 16 to go 3 strokes behind the better player (Olazabal). What does any of this have to do with luck?

[@20050716]

There was one where the guy chipped in for the win? That was ridiculous, other than that you’re right he just choked lol or got narrowly outplayed

[@johnclark3697]

Exquisite touch from Jose.. when you needed all the shots... pure skill.. not like now blasts it & putt...

[@therikerp]

3:02:57. Nantes said that Norman’s career is far from over. But after this masters, Norman became an afterthought on the tour. He focused more on business and less on golf. It was sad that he never won this tournament.

[@sompolbumrongjaroen826]

Norman was runner up British open 2008.

[@quantumpotential7639]

His mom took him to the course one day and showed him the ropes. And one day the rope got caught around his neck and he choked up a golf ball after Larry Mize's ball found the cup on 11. Now let us pray 🙏. The Shark could have won 20 majors. He just wasn't that hungry.

[@20050716]

I have heard people say that a lack of practice may have cost the shark dearly late on in big majors when the pressure really mounts

[@027wilbur]

Majors Greg Norman should have / could have won: 1) 1984 US Open 2) 1986 Masters 3) 1986 US Open 4) 1986 Open - won 5) 1986 PGA 6) 1987 Masters 7) 1989 Masters 8) 1989 Open 9) 1993 Open - won 10) 1993 PGA 11) 1995 US Open 12) 1996 Masters 13) 1999 Masters 14) 2008 Open

[@SilverfoxThe]

Epic shot by DL3 @ 16th. Made famous by Tiger Woods several years later......

[@allanswords1300]

YES! honestly, the first thought that crossed my mind when Tigers chip went in was "welp, Davis Love is now forgotten" hahaha

[@guydixon5980]

Didn't realise how tricky conditions were. And certainly couldn't remember Olszabal making such a shaky start.

[@Fusiontron]

That Lion King music.

[@Skier10]

Better then the generic underscore cbs puts on today for this tourney

[@hietanbs]

2:19:55 Can't get over how bad this shot by Norman is. Maybe tops approach into 18 in 1986 and tee shot on 16 in 1996. It's unbelievable that he didn't win not just one of these, but a bunch.

[@cwaller12]

Staggering...Could be the worst shot hes hit in his life. For one of the greatest drivers of the golf ball his drives down 14 and 15 were horrendous. Should've been an easy 2 putt birdie on 15 with his length to tie it up with Jose. He really had a chance in this one - an oversight it wasnt mentioned in the 30 for 30 doc.

[@TheLocalLt]

A couple of 80s-90s guys battling it out. The young guys totally took over Augusta in 2000, when Phil, Tiger, Duval and of course Vijay, the winner, all played well

[@AlonsoRules]

Norman bogeying 15 just about sums up his Masters career

[@supergolfdude]

With wedge in hand, I knew Norman was done when he that shot into the bunker on 15.

[@mthweikle]

I always remember those beautifully soft Hands

[@TJ89741]

One of Greg Norman’s best chances to win the Masters. But on this Day Jose Maria out played him down the stretch

[@spencer.kissack.the.author]

Fate really is a strange thing. Gotta think Norman was just never, ever destined to win at Augusta. Made me laugh when commentator said LW would definitely win a major one day!

[@Alex-tk2ru]

Just like Tom Weiskopf saying he would win the Masters one day after finishing second 2 or 3 times. actions louder than words

[@TheLocalLt]

Westwood really should have, after this he fell of the map for a while but later became a constant presence in majors, finishing 2nd or 3rd several times. Like Norman it just always seemed to be just out of his reach, case in point being his three-putt on the 18th at Turnberry in 2009 to miss the playoff by a shot. 2013 at Muirfield was his last great shot, entering the final round with a two shot lead, only to make a mess of the front nine Sunday.

[@65g4]

I still remember normans eagle at 13 it was awesome

[@KYExtemper]

I still remember where I was watching when he holed that eagle putt. I thought that was the signal it was finally his time. Then Olazabal made his birdie putt, tied it, and I was like oh no.... Still, every time I watch that eagle putt, I think Norman is going to win.

[@christopherfranklin972]

@James Fondren Norman always received a disproportionate response from galleries given his performances or do you think the 'patrons' had exhausted themselves clapping for him and could only raise a mild effort for Olazabal?

[@srj34]

@@christopherfranklin972 Olazabal already had a jacket whereas Norman had his heart broken many times at Augusta. Is it that hard to figure out?

[@christopherfranklin972]

@@srj34 That had absolutely nothing to do with it .... Norman always played to the gallery,he was always the author of his own destruction,1996 when Faldo trounced him is a classic example of Norman imploding or 1984 when Zoeller stuffed him by an 8 shot margin to win the US Open in a play off. What's not hard to figure out is that it's not just 'hard luck' or 'bad break' that prevented him from winning at Augusta.
