2008 U.S. Open (Playoff): Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate Duel at Torrey Pines | Full Broadcast

[@ryansmith1044]

The final 18 hole playoff in US Open history, and, as of 2024, the most recent playoff of any kind as well.

[@NOTapop99]

This was incredible, had no idea who won. Sat down and watched it and it was amazing

[@SNESdrunk]

3:41:30 What a great shot lol. You can only imagine what Rocco is thinking. He's a lifer, one of my fav people in golf ever

[@Sundaydrumday]

This is the best round of golf I've ever seen! For Both, Tiger with a bum leg, Rocco as a massive underdog! As a Tiger fan I would have loved to see Rocco win this one, he had many chances, I think he just got tired!

[@Cryptonomics7]

Strategy.. Tiger slowed his individual play down tremendously in the heat for the last 4 holes- down 1 stroke. I am sure that played into OLD man Mediate and his ability to keep up and got more exhausted waiting. Even when the extended holes- Tiger slow paced even getting to the 1st tee. Brilliant strategy though. Many ppl never saw what he was doing.. I did lol. Rocco got slow cooked.

[@matthillock9299]

[@TheRealSteveCampbell]

Watching this randomly right now and forgot how iconic this was. Tiger coming up short on the par 3 in the playoff right now, and knowing he ends up still winning, crazy. That l can’t believe that was 16 years ago. You don’t see greatness like this much in any sport anymore

[@jeffreyyoungblood7438]

Tiger has had better rounds.

[@atamagashock]

Remember exactly where I was for this playoff. I was doing some construction work at a graveyard. Because the playoff was held in a Monday, we sat in the break room and watched the entire playoff, instead of working. Great times! Hard to believe we had to wait 11 years to see him win again

[@Nello353]

I Watched every minute of this tournament and this was my take away.Rocco was amazed that he had finished in a tie with Tiger and since this was his chance for fame and respect he was going to do his best to win and to his credit he did just that. I think that Tigers injury prevented him from playing his best golf. Both scenarios contributed to a very exciting match. I Think Rocco came away with a big paycheck and a lot of respect and a great story that he could tell for the remainder of his life

[@KG-wh8yv]

ALL golf Playoffs should be 18 Holes. 1 hole playoff lame as hell. Tiger dropping all those putts in a row is surreal. Was fun to watch when he was healthy.

Everyone talks about Tiger's 2000 and 2002 swing, but his 2008 swing is right up there with his swing in those years.

[@gunghogun-ar-15]

His iron shots were the best during 2005-2009. The Haney swing is underrated

[@GrubbyGusGames]

Think about how many people would have won majors if it wasn’t for Tiger

[@dorothygale1104]

Tiger had the career that Phil Mickenson would have otherwise had if Tiger never existed. Phil was already established as the #2 ranked player in the world with 10 Tour wins over 5 sesons prior to Woods turning pro in late-1996. Michelson won an additional 35 Tour events (45 total Tour wins) and 6 Majors after Woods turned pro. Even though most of Michelson’s Tour career overlapped Wood’s career, Phil still won 45 Tour events, which places him tied for 8th for most Tour wins and is tied for 12th for most Major wins with 6 Majors. It must be a hard pill to swallow having to live with “what might have been” had a kid named Tiger not come along and put Phil’s Hall of Fame 45-win career as an afterthought to the achievements Tiger attained.

[@markstewartsbreakingthecha3531]

Wanted Rocco big time! ?: Wouldn't Rocco have to replace his ball after reaching the green or even before the chip on #5?

[@miklevey3429]

All due respect to Tiger. Rocco wasn’t exactly a formidable competitor. He was great player but even he would admit he was out matched. Imagine Phil against tiger in the day.

[@MarkEnriquez1971]

18 hole playoff is stupid. It should always be sudden death. They just played 72 damn holes over four days. Being tied after the 72nd hole and all the drama up to that point, everything carries right into the 73rd hol, continues the moment it’s no different if they’re tied after 71 holes, if one of them birdies the last hole and the other one pars they lose on the 72nd hole.

[@mikemartin5340]

The jovial attitude Tiger showed Rocco on 1 was so unbelievably out of character, I remember being so taken aback at the time. He either 1) genuinely liked Rocco (and he was the only competitor he ever liked) or 2) he thought taking his guard down would take Rocco off his game. I think it’s likely 2 but not positive

I wonder why no one ever tried to copy Rocco's swing. He out drove tiger on multiple occasions and looked smooth and effortless (not injury prone like Tiger's swing). But I guess it lacks the cool factor, or sales/marketing factor. You gotta make golf look cool and athletic to make people buy new clubs. Humans are such biased animals and it's the reason why I hate being human. And I hate the golf industry too because it's a scam.

[@mdeodar]

No worse than the NFL

[@Ghostshadows306]

Why did people copy Tiger’s swing and not Rocco’s? Because it was cool and marketable? Are you kidding me with that? How about the fact that Tiger’s swing produced 15 majors and over a hundred tournament wins compared to no majors and a few wins by Rocco’s. Don’t accuse humans of being stupid and superficial just because you are. If don’t like being human that’s your problem, not the rest of ours. And I’m no fan of Tiger Woods or the ways of professional golf either.
