Phil Mickelson vs Ernie Els at Golf del Sur | 1995 Shell's Wonderful World of Golf

[@TS1r731]

PGA Tour... please bring back a show similar to this. The player pool is ridiculously deep to pick and match up from. Even if you didn’t get A list players you could have awesome matchups. Also, there are incredible golf courses out there to showcase and bring attention to. This show has to come back

[@CamWakeGolf]

Seriously dude. The possibilities of matchups are endless. Would be amazing.

[@ragnars69]

They should pair the ripe Jack Nicklaus with some random guy today

[@MonkeySaurusPants]

Unfortunately I think the main part of the charm and appeal is the class and simplicity, very little advertising or promotional stuff going on, the crowds are smaller and more respectable and the whole thing is just toned down in general. Modern golf wouldn't suit this format at all unless it was done by a private enthusiast for a KZbin channel, or something similar, as the focus needs to be on the passion for golf which modern day companies will ignore in favour of making a few extra pounds. I agree that if someone could capture the essence of this fantastic program it would be worth televising without a doubt, however, I think, in an effort to try to be "cool" or profitable the magic would be lost.

[@gymaholicTV]

with another name. something like „teslas wonderful world of golf“

[@snuglife4595]

We really appreciate these oldies but goodies. Phil n Els are both many years older than me but I love these videos👍👍👍

[@uNkLeRaRa4]

Good Lord do I ever miss the 90's 😭

[@jacobnorton1]

This so much better than watching professional golfers play video games. Great content PGA tour.

[@kenneth6847]

Didn’t think this would hold my attention but I watched every stroke. Great programming. Wish they still did these. Els remarkable in trouble.

[@codyhoule11]

Yes keep releasing these! Love them

[@chezchezchezchez]

really!!

[@spencersmythe3096]

This video is so wholesome. I miss the 90s

[@7884golfguru]

My favourite show growing up ,I remember mum saying go to bed as it was televised late at night in New Zealand,that was in the early 60s,a great era to live in for sure ❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍

[@reddemunn]

That shot at 19:00, absolutely beautiful

[@buffaloben15golf88]

The flight on that ball was absolutely disgusting, that balloon shot to have it land just soft enough... man. only Phil can do that.

[@squishyturtles1648]

I love watching golf with my ads thanks pga tour

[@jaxhoffalot2812]

Young Ernie & Phil talking cricket, just awesome.

[@benroberts3655]

Ernie explaining the LBW law was a particular highlight.

[@dbosasa]

I was there ⛳️ with the #legends great memories 👍🏽 Estuve allí con las #leyendas vaya recuerdos 👍🏽

[@collinjamesguitar]

Ernie...one of the greatest swings ever. Love his game so much. If he had played in a different time than Tiger’s prime, he’d have 8+ majors.

[@chriskeller8787]

He would definitely have more that’s for sure

[@artieborko4988]

Same could be said for Phil too- just plain bad luck of running mostly parallel with Tiger’s career timeline. Not many windows of opportunity during Tiger’s utter dominance.

[@MrPatrick1414]

Love Ernie explaining cricket to Phil!!

[@edrockishere]

Can we bring this back please!!!

[@chezchezchezchez]

I know!!

[@Bringthatover]

Theyd have to play with winnings of 1 million for winner, half million for loser.

Thanks a lot and best regards from Tenerife.

It's always great to run across one of these matches!

[@Bob-nu3xe]

not really, when I played the course I made par on the 220yard par three (5wood)LOL

[@kravitz1999]

Weird seeing guys play without hats lol And Ernie, that swing, gold-

[@matts719]

Thanks for the great content PGA Tour KZbin! There’s a Shells match between Phil and Tom Lehman a few years after this. It would be great to watch that one if you can post it up. Love the old footage of Phil’s smooth swing before he became obsessed with distance.

[@TW92]

Ive played this course haha, surprised they didnt use Seve's course Buenovista in the north of the island, much more spectacular! I love these shows, Shell should bring them back!

[@n0body550]

Golf and a history lesson, always loved these especially the old bobby jones ones

[@albandb9366]

Love the vintage !

[@taytonbukowsky2873]

That close up shot of Phil’s putter grip is so sick!

[@chriskeller8787]

They most definitely need to bring these back

[@cscoetzee]

Wow - never realized Ernie was so much longer than Mickelson, off the tee. On most of the drives he seemed to be 70 or even 80 yards past Mickelson.

[@jamieross3563]

Golf Del Sur is a great course. Was the first golf course I ever played overseas on a golfing holiday.

[@chezchezchezchez]

When?

[@jamieross3563]

@@chezchezchezchez I played there in 2005 I think, however, I first saw it a few years before this match, in 1991, o holiday, my father played there and I walked around the course with him

[@chezchezchezchez]

Jamie Ross Thanks!

[@NineEyeRon]

I think i only just broke 90 when I played here

[@grneal26]

Keep them coming

[@gregleavitt1255]

Phil's jabby putting was a trainwreck in this match, as it tends to be more often than not IMO. It's palpable how much of a struggle he was having that day, while Ernie just played his game and took what came to him. Oh, how the "Wonderful World of Golf" connotes so much pain and pleasure all wrapped up in one. Not so "wonderful" on this windy day. But great show, nonetheless! Love all of these episodes.

[@Kr8zyVids]

@pgatour why does FedEx not have these after the cup?

[@LeeTrevinoFans]

Love these!!!

[@TheLocalLt]

ABC’s Wide World of Sports (one of the few sports anthology series *more* famous than Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf) brought back the series in 1994, and it was later continued by the Comcast-owned Golf Channel in the late 90s and early 2000s. Golf Channel also reaired some of the ABC episodes from the mid 90s in the early 2000s, which they redid with their own graphics. This is an episode that wasn’t reaired later on the Golf Channel - or, if it was, then this is the unedited ABC copy, as it uses ABC’s graphics from the mid-1990s.

[@rodsmith8118]

Shell's Wonderful World of Golf was brought back in 1994. April 9th - Fred Couples vs. Raymond Floyd, April 30th -Jack Nicklaus vs. Arnold Palmer, July 16th - Nick Faldo vs. Greg Norman.

[@TheLocalLt]

Rod Smith sorry 94 but yea the rest is the same

[@bbaker3045]

Phil’s hair never fails😂

[@blakesweeney1023]

Please upload more of these! Watched all 3 of them today and was disappointed to see there aren't any more.

[@lawbinson]

What putter is Phil using here?

[@radar0412]

Hopefully we'll get to see Phil and Ernie battle it out on the back nine on Sunday on the Champions Tour.

[@Randy-mw1es]

Phil was discusted with his putter.He got alot longer after this and we all know he can put.Great golfers can let this go and always come back

[@paulhowe9802]

Lovely to watch :) thank you pga

[@2011810]

Awesome stuff! Can we get the Phil vs David Toms match next?

[@mezanine10]

Interesting watching this footage from '95 and realizing Tiger wins the Masters two years later. Then in 2000, Ernie finishes second in 3 majors behind Tiger.

[@whoamifoo9075]

The sad part is Ernie already won the u.s. open at this point and Phil still doesn't have one.

[@ben-vf]

More please.

[@Lazz..]

12:41 182 yards - 3 iron. Today that would be a 7 or 6...

[@Typhoontimmy]

Uphill and probably into the wind.

[@catuniverse4163]

@W Jack You're right about club angles but what you're saying isn't valid at this stage of golf progression. The Iron angles were standardized in late 1990's and have stayed static since then. The significant changes date back to the 60s far before a tournament like this. 1995 9 iron is 41 degrees 2020 41, 5 iron also the same. It's partially about the club face surface and much more about club head speed training. If you see Daly hit the ball at this time or earlier his yardage will match today's distances. There is an exhibition match between Daly and Couples recently posted on this channel hes 2 clubs less on every shot and still out distancing Couples. he was an anomaly in swinging so fast but it has become the norm today. For every club higher you can hit, your angle of approach gets steeper and your odds of greens hit accurately goes up, forces the pros to train that way to beat the field. I would argue the single most impactful change to the sport to create this evolution is simple, Tiger, he proved this advantage wins tournaments.

[@joshlynch5676]

39:48 Phil Mickelston has entered the tournament.

[@riggz5496]

That commentator was hating on Phil towards the end man lol

Phil vs Ernie 1995 total $150,000 prize. Phil vs Tiger 2018 9 million to the winner.

[@taimaster612]

23 year difference and you forgot Tiger was one of the reasons why more sponsors, viewers, and attendance went up.

[@kinjay2173]

@@taimaster612 23 years difference that I forgot tiger was the one that brought such attention to this great game? I don't think I said that anywhere so how did I forget? I just pointed out athletes in general are getting paid ridiculous amounts of money. And just the drastic change in pay in general even if you account for all factors.

[@KiwiPokerPlayer]

That Rolex was a GMT Master II ref 16710 Coke bezel. That reference goes for around $10-20k today depending on condition. That specific watch, the actual one given to the winner, is probably worth more than the total prize pool of this match adjusting for inflation assuming it's providence can be demonstrated.

Those greens probably had a ton of grain in them, Phil really struggled. Ernie being from south Africa would definitely had been less putt off by the grainy greens

Wouldn’t be a golf match if Phil didn’t have to consult the rules official

[@kowanmcgarry]

Ringing a bell on the golf course to let the group behind hit their tee shots, I thought Golf was supposed to be a quiet walk in the park interrupted by a little white ball. It can’t be quiet if your ringing a bell. Whoever thought that up, you need to remove it from the course. Use binoculars or a range finders. Have spotters to help with greens being cleared, then relay it to the tee box with radio, telephone or some message system, not a bell. They should be fired whoever thought of it.

[@TheLocalLt]

You realize that’s how they do it in Scotland, the home of golf? My local muni uses a stoplight, which makes no noise but is far more garish than a classy bell

[@kowanmcgarry]

@@TheLocalLt They should change it. What if someone is putting or hitting a shot and the bell goes off.

[@kowanmcgarry]

@@TheLocalLt They need to develop a new technology instead of a bell.

4:00 "The two best young players in the world of golf today." Hmmmmm maybe. At the time, there WAS this 19-year old amateur from California who was pretty good...Well, OK, let's let Phil and Ernie have their day in the sun, er, wind.

[@Kaptainrdean]

Chris Morfas I know what you mean, but Els already had a major at this point and Mickleson had been winning on the main tour since 91. Woods was still relatively unknown outside of the states and didn't even turn pro until the following year.

[@chrismorfas7515]

@@Kaptainrdean Right! Rolfing's statement is certainly defensible. Still, even given Ernie and Phil's vastly greater experience and accomplishment to-date, had they actually played a threesome that day, wouldn't Tiger have stood an equal chance of winning? It's a fun hypothetical, isn't it? "Joining Phil and Ernie today in this match to determine the world's best young golfer is the reigning US Amateur champion"...would have been a blast to watch!

[@Kaptainrdean]

Chris Morfas Over 18 holes, yes a pretty even chance for sure! I don't know if they had seen much of Tiger at that point, but I'm sure they would have shared a few glances at one another when he showed his stuff. A very fun hypothetical as you say.
