Mickelson vs Couples (Shell's Wonderful Word of Golf)

[@jimaldridge4284]

A lot of us golfers miss these type matches. Wished they bring back SWOG.

[@BenDover-lz7zx]

I agree! One can only hope

[@jordanboteler8978]

I will love a Phil tiger matchup

[@kevincampbell1086]

They never will. It costs too much for not enough return

[@F5BOTD]

The perrenial "The match" is the closest thing we're getting to these classics

[@thomastrain7311]

Sam Sneed vs Jack at pebble is a great one in this series

[@jacklempke7779]

God bless everyone uploading and who has uploaded classic golf footage during this COVID-19 shelter-in-place. Brings back good times and a sense of normalcy. Thank you for your gift.

[@sparko2012]

You to love seeing interviews with Phil back in the day, had a nice way about him. I really miss these days of golf.

[@revman417]

Fun to see the caddies playing too and what a nice gesture with that donation...

[@Foxtrot1967]

I miss the network broadcasts of SWOG (Shell's Wonderful World of Golf), and the annual Skins Game (1983-2008), that were usually televised on Thanksgiving weekends.

[@ScratchArkkitehti]

Once "The Needle" dropped it the ratings kept slipping.

[@harrisonthompson1183]

@@ScratchArkkitehti Is the needle tiger woods?

[@jeffboyd3465]

That exchange Freddy had with the kid on 18 was pretty sweet...I used to have that on my DVR (among a TON of other great things) until it crashed and got wiped. Grrrr.

[@artconsciousness]

The caddy competition is really fun to watch, adds a another dimension to the whole competition because it shows clearly the difference between pro's who have God-like talent and the average player. Excellent idea whoever thought of it.

[@Weirsy06]

Awesome stuff one again. Keep the uploads coming; a great way to pass the time during the off-season.

[@mattartinger3457]

Freddy won a few of them-great to see phil in full form-and the caddie contest was awesome-wish we did this now

[@golf5555555]

They cut out the best part! Freddie has enough of Phil out driving him and calls a rules official to check the legality of his ball. His last needle is priceless "I gotta get some of those balls..."

[@teeno684]

From the t box??

[@mullholand]

Two of the all time classiest players.

[@DoughyBoy]

I might love watching the sportsmanship as much as I do the golf!

[@boopah4365]

Arguably the two best swings and the two nicest guys in golf.

[@Cutlerypotato]

They are both super nice on TV, behind the scenes not so much

[@all-americandad9780]

Wish they would bring back Shell's Wonderful World of Golf!! Just imaging Rory McIlroy against Patrick Reed!!!

[@southsidejonny9997]

Two absolute gentlemen pros, a credit to the sport.

[@TS1r731]

They really should bring these matches back... especially with all the good players nowadays

[@stevengujsky24]

The distance difference between two is largely due to Couples hitting fades and Mickelson hitting draws

[@4pitts1burgh28]

They need to bring this back

[@mooch6925]

I love watching Fred swing

[@grantmurphey537]

So effortless

[@anthonywillis7634]

Beautiful to watch!

[@mconnorhayworth6136]

I live and grew up right around the corner from there. Never been fortunate enough to play there because my income is still in the 5 digits and not the required 7.

[@geesecougar2]

Judy roasting Fred! I love her

[@dannyjames9986]

what a witch

[@ryanwalker9842]

Awesome footage!

[@ScratchArkkitehti]

Fred got thrown off his game when Phil busted it WAAAAY past Boom Boom. Phil at this time was comparable to Big John off the tee....but Phil wasn't hungover during his match haha

[@waz277]

this is loverly, phils full of respect for freddie, almost embarrassed to be spanking him,and freddies taking it on the chin.

[@hlf_coder6272]

Driver-PW into a par 5. Only in my dreams

[@artieborko4988]

Phil hitting his Titleist 975d goddamn 350 off the tee... 🤯

[@guitarman6742]

Phil playing some, long hitting, solid golf.

[@nate_feag8044]

Phil was a monster in these old matches , still is but man…

[@artieborko4988]

“Freddy what do you think makes you play so well in these events?” “Well, thanks Judy. Ya know, Its probably because it’s a no strings attached event that’s a guaranteed 50 G’s for just showing up to play 18 holes of golf with one of my close friends... Jesus Christ, ya know Judy, come to think of it, my life really does kick some serious ass, don’t it? Like how did I get this lucky? Is this even legal? I could be working a regular-ass job type job. Instead I’m here with you, and Phil, playing golf on a great golf course all to ourselves for shittons of extra cash I don’t really need, and when we’re done here I’ve got some smokeshow hottie waiting in my Learjet fueled and waiting take us back to my estate in Newport Beach which happens to be adjacent to Big Canyon CC, my home course, and top 5 most exclusive CC’s in the world” That’s what imagine Freddy is really thinking sometimes. Or maybe that just what I’d be thinking if I were him 😂. Seriously though, if you were a professional golfer with status enough to be invited to Shells Wonderful World of Golf- what a damn life you had. And no hate intended, just jealously 😂 😢 /rant

[@kevincampbell1086]

When even Shell dropped their sponsorship of the Houston open it shows how far the uspga has fallen

[@nascarvintage17]

Shell's_Wonderful_World_of_Golf, the best golf programs clearly you have to re install programs like that at the TV !

[@lambert1702]

Freddie was a pretty sore loser during the match. So glad Phil beat his ass!

[@loganleary2673]

lambert1702 ur an idiot

[@nwbeat]

What? Phil was much less friendly than Freddie

[@hkshadi]

Seeing someone beating freedie Is satisfying Freddie Is kind of an asshole...

[@1Hominid]

They are both nerds. Let’s be honest.

[@costo34ify]

That only proves he’s a winner.LOSERS embrace losing.

[@widespreadgaming9082]

isnt this the only time Freddy got beat in SWOG?

[@CoachPluralTM]

Did she call him Jackass at the start??

[@gabrielleaujard8357]

Tommy armour 845 , nice

[@scottcarroll9201]

Anyone here after Philly Mick just became the oldest man in history to win a major?

[@johnhall5927]

Phil fan here!

[@vandrive5687]

Yes, had to remind myself.

[@anthonywillis7634]

What was with mickelson and his combed hair without a hat???

[@kbkesq]

How many videos have zero dislikes? Awesome- Freddie probably has the least dislikes on KZbin lol.

[@louislane1968]

Not by the numbers but Tiger to Phil were kind of like Jack to Arnold. Mostly in terms of what Phil and Arnold might’ve accomplished if Tiger and Jack didn’t make an appearance.

[@josephchoiniere1878]

15:58 "Another bomb my Mckilson"

[@tvs3497]

Couples about made a career out of SWWOG.

[@Christian-nm2je]

Great video man…or lady.

[@jeffryguy2703]

I am watching this on TV and in the start of it they is a noose hanging from a tree

[@jfisher4]

27:00 ish... just a 245 yard 2 iron to 6 feet...

[@Scrub_Jake]

Can’t believe he missed the putt though 🤦

[@stevenlee9064]

Wow. Mickelson was loonngggg.

[@josevictorinonhaule9920]

phill is strong two eagle uuuuuu.

[@vandrive5687]

A 413-yard drive on 18 by the southpaw!

[@waz277]

to be fair fred did this to greg.

[@anthonywillis7634]

Did he say “Edward Gaylord”? 😳

[@robre6840]

love fred but was out played here clearly was not in this mentally imo knew couldnt win

[@AimeeBonham]

Phill u could out drive Fred couples

[@trythinkingforachange4201]

Fred was a bit of an ass not letting Phil putt out on 18. Glad to see him lose this one. He does have a smooth swing though, have to give him credit for that.

[@adamd8997]

Phil was going to win. If you listen, Freddie wanted him to have the last putt so he was the last to hole out for the win. Why stand around waiting for Freddie to finish if Phil already holed out.

[@exitparadise2244]

Try Thinking For a change not his fault. He felt bad for the first hole making him putt that one out

[@pb12661]

He wasn't being an ass. He just wanted Phil to have the last tap in putt to end the match....This is considered proper golf "etiquette." If you hear him say, "we are playing just like a tournament." That's how they're required to play under normal circumstances.

[@costo34ify]

This is gold.

[@robre6840]

love fred but was out played here clearly was not in this mentally imo knew couldnt win

[@pb12661]

He played "bad" but still shot -1. Mickelson was dangerous when he drove the ball straight. He was piping those drives. Hard to beat that.....
