Golf Channel's Rich Lerner interviews Tom Weiskopf at Yellowstone Club

Golf Channel’s Rich Lerner recently interviewed Tom Weiskopf at Yellowstone Club about his professional golfing career (including his victory at the 1973 British Open), life in Montana, and work as a world-renowned golf course architect. YC’s Weiskopf-designed golf course provided a beautiful backdrop for the segment, which you can watch in its entirety here.

I idolized Tom as a youngster. He was so cool and what a swing!

RIP Tom Weiskopf (November 9, 1942 - August 20, 2022)

Rest In Peace. Tom Weiskopf, what a beautiful swing he had.

[@purplebondsaiyan2987]

this man DESERVES To Be in the World Golf Hall of Fame!!!! I and David Ferherty campaigned for many years to get him in the HOF and he is still not in that makes me very upset

[@TheNYgolfer]

Its called politics. No sport is this more prevalent in then golf.

[@ordinarypeople2270]

He's weak sauce. It's obvious to everyone but you I guess

[@ken2181]

@@ordinarypeople2270 hes won a major and 16 times on tour....thats pretty darn good

[@lightshadow44]

The PGA HOF has criteria for entry….i believe it’s 20 wins and 1 major. He doesn’t qualify. Still, he was the Story in his golf career. He also played against the best era of winners headed by The best. That’s the way it goes and is life. Jack, Johnny, Lee, Watson,Player, Green, Palmer at the end of his greatness and Seve , the new breed. Take Phil, Vijay and Duval… if Tiger wasn’t there , but it’s the way it goes. We enjoyed Weiskoff… and hopefully he knew it .

Announcer to Tw @ The Masters - Tom, what is Nicklaus thinking? Tw - " If I knew that I would have won this tournament. "

[@A-FrameWedge]

Tom Weiskopf hit the ball so well he couldn’t accept that he was being beaten by guys that didn’t hit it as well as him, but they scored well because of a good short game. Just didn’t have the mental discipline that Nicklaus had.

[@tomdallas3690]

Most of the greats had great bonds with their fathers. Notice that Weiskopf had a difficult relationship with his father, while Jack Nicklaus had a great bond with his. Greg Norman's father never approved of Greg pursuing golf. There is a fine line between the really great ones and the pretty good ones, or even regular great ones. Who knows what factors play a role at the moment of impact in the biggest shots of one's life, but it couldn't have helped Weiskopf or Norman in the big moments.

[@lightshadow44]

Full circle, the golf world knows you, and so do we . The fans appreciate you, wanted to be you and are always with you Tom.

[@JohnDoe-xu2vx]

As a very tall golfer I always had Tom as a hero. I was lucky to follow him at Riviera CC during an LA open in which I verbally wished him good luck on the upcoming Sr's tour. On the first hole the par 5 Tom pushed his drive into the right trees. I thought he had no shot but standing behind him I watched him hit a towering 7 iron up over the trees an onto the green to make birdie. Those were the days of Tommy Amour irons and Magregor woods

[@scottjames6037]

One of my favorite golfers in the 1970's. I am so happy he has been so successful with course design.

[@tinytoons2517]

I love your swing Tommy, why don't the young players swing like you wouldn't they keep the ball in play more often . . ha,ha.

[@stanthomas9890]

Toms swing was elegant............RIP

[@kbkesq]

What matter more- being in GHOF or having most serious golfers of any age know who you were and know your game was admired by the best?

[@7775Kevin]

One of my favorites. He deserves the good life he appears to have now. Good for him.

[@marcelacastaneda1337]

The employees are garbage for this company, the employees' cafeteria looks like a prison, the chicken in the cafeteria is always raw, the employees' house is the worst, 10 people live in an apartment for 5 people, the human resources don't They don't care, they don't help if you have problems with the house, you only work to pay rent, it's the worst thing that could happen to me, don't work for this place

[@dennisdobin8640]

Tom Weiskopf will be using a 2 iron, Rory McIlroy wil be using a lob wedge.

[@tomdallas3690]

He hot better looking with age. Was a goofy gangly weird looking guy in his career.

[@marcelacastaneda1337]

Working in this place was the worst thing that could happen to me, renting a house with them was the most difficult, they are expensive, I only worked to pay the rent, I had no money left to eat, I tried to talk to the human resources people, they didn't care, they didn't They helped, I don't like how they treat the employees

[@marcelacastaneda1337]

Los empleados son basura para esta empresa, la cafeteria de los empleados parece una carcel, el pollo de la cafeteria siempre esta crudo, la casa de los empleados es lo peor, 10 personas viven en un departamento para 5 personas, los recursos humanos no No les importa, no ayudan si tienes problemas con la casa, solo trabajas para pagar la renta, es lo peor que me puede pasar, no trabajes para este lugar.

[@bhags59]

Wonderful interview! Truly insightful. Thank you.

Lerner's bullshit is second to none

[@tomdallas3690]

He is the worst host on television in any sport. Just lame.
