I watched today's PGA at Valhalla. The pin on 18 is in the exact same spot as it was in 2000. I frickin love that.

[@pb12661]

I first saw Tiger (in person) at the 1996 Bay Hill Tournament in Orlando. He had an aura around him that you could feel. It was right before he turned pro. Once he did it was off to the races. I thought back then, "wow, I'll get to see this guy's career unfold." Sadly, that career, whether you love him or hate him, is definitely winding down. Hard to believe that it's been that long ago! I'm still grateful to have witnessed his greatness on the golf course. There will never be, like Jack, another Tiger Woods!

[@kellicr9024]

Winding down? He won the Masters in 2019! I wouldn't call that winding down and even after his recent car accident, I bet he'll come back. He's such an amazing athlete and knows how to win!! I worked at the SoCal PGA in the early 90s and he was in our Junior Golf program back then. Very nice guy!!

[@beckyhenkel7917]

@@kellicr9024 He will.

[@treybear8174]

I have a similar story just at a different point in his career. The first time I saw him live was the PGA in 03 at Oak Hill. He's clearly already a made man by then. Every major twice over lol but he was in one of those infamous "slumps" which basically meant he was all over the place with the driver. But the aura was exactly as you described. I was looking out on a balcony in a clubhouse on Friday (dad scored some sweet tickets) and you could literally see a crowd of 1000 plus people all move in unison. And there's those broad shoulders and that black cap right in the middle of it. It was like if the people who followed Michael Jackson around all did it in a nice orderly fashion. Amazing.

[@thegourmetgolfer5544]

​@@kellicr9024it's definitely winding down, especially when compared to prime tiger. 2019 was 5 years ago now

[@pigriser]

Great vid. After Tiger's processions at Pebble Beach and St. Andrews in 2000 Bob May deserved a medal for sticking with him.

[@Real28]

01:02:56 This is what you're here for You've gotta love that anytime Tiger missed a putt, the assumption is that he made a bad stroke. Always that he pushed or pulled it. Absolutely no consideration that he may have simply hit his mark but misread it.

[@kevincross6020]

I dont ever comment about much, but Jack and Tiger playing together in the first two rounds, imo, was one of the best pairings in any major. None will ever be as good as Jack and Tiger.

[@avzeolla3960]

I watched this live. Bob may was amazing. I fell in love with golf on this day.

[@treybear8174]

me too. same exact day. i watched as much of the us open as i could but we were busy that day. i was on a plane while the last round of the British open was on but this one i watch beginning to end. it was cool to see a guy like bob may stay with tiger all day and not blink. but Tiger was so cold blooded on the greens and par 5s it was ridiculous. You can play as well as you want but how are you gonna beat a guy who plays par 5s like 4s and also never 3 putts?

[@johnsmith42688]

He threw everything he could at him...prime tiger just wasn't human

[@dalequammie937]

tiger's and jack's comments at the beginning show they recognize the greatness in each other

[@BigfootBreaks]

“Darren Clarke, the husky lad who eschews the modern fitness craze...” Great commentary! 🤣

[@stevedriscoll2539]

Daly was alleged to have quipped "I am doing my part for the fitness craze, I just bought a boatload of stock in "Peanut M&M's (Mars Candy), Michelob (Anheuser Busch), and Burger King".

[@dlaird8]

This was the greatest PGA Championship of all time.

[@willstuart4504]

And they both Birdie the 18th hole like the GOATS they will always be!!👏👏👏 What a view watching Tiger and Jack walking the 18th green, both compete at the same tournament, playing WITH each other. What a memory indeed. Golf at it's very best....

[@kevincross6020]

If I was in charge of determining when events happen, I would have the masters in April, US open in June, British open in July, and finally PGA championship in August. That's the way it was for a long time, but recently it's in May. It just makes the most sense imo

[@thomaskaye3887]

Really need the final round full broadcast on this one. Have the rest of the tiger slam on YT

[@maxderbomber]

Absolutely fantastic upload! Hopefully some other interesting uploads of PGA Championships will follow. It would be nice to see the PGA 1979 or 2002

[@kevincross6020]

Tiger dominated back then because he out putted everyone! They all hit it good back then, but tiger was a step above the competition with his short game

[@illini00711]

1:01:11 Tiger called this the most clutch putt in his career (well, until the 18th hole at Torrey Pines came along). Remarkable, considering it was a six footer, and all the other massive bombs he has made when the stakes were highest.

[@whtclk]

Sergio's shot from beside that tree is still one of my favorite golf shots

[@chrisgreen177]

At a time when 'The Masters' was exactly that (In their minds) "The 'Masters". It was expressed (in private) that Tiger he was 'Less Than' and didn't belong in their arena. It made me feel that there's 'Hope' for humankind' with Jack, because he was not having that 'Mess' when it came to 'Race' in the sport. Jack was the 'Authority', and what he said goes, so him 'Setting the stage' of the future of the masters, and being Tiger Woods' partner in this tournament let all the 'Old Bloods' know, it's a different era, and to get on board or be left behind. Jack is great for doing what he did, and as a result of that, golf EXPLODED exponentially in popularity across the spectrum of race, and economically multiplied > 100 since Tiger Woods entered the sport. Jack created a 'Win Win' for EVERYONE, and not just those who wanted to keep it all for themselves.

His level of concentration was unbreakable that final round. So many clutch putts he made

[@musicmania1263]

Tiger really had to grind this one out. Bob May was on fire that tournament.

[@justinperrin9503]

Imagine if he had that swing with today’s drivers

[@redfirebird2008]

It would be pretty strong, but I'd be even more curious to see him with the earlier swing (1995 to 1998) before he changed it for more control. 1996ish Tiger had insane speed in his golf swing. Would be pretty crazy to see that version of him with modern golf ball and driver.

[@pb12661]

@@redfirebird2008 he averaged 300 off the tee during the 2000 U.S. Open with a freakin' piece of crap (I actually like their equipment but that driver was garbage compared to today's clubs) Cobra Driver w/ a standard length (at the time -43 inches) . And a ball that isn't nearly as "hot" as today's golf balls.

[@stevedriscoll2539]

For Jack to say "Tiger was so much better than I thought he was" is interesting. Jack knew he was the best (a point I think could be argued). It never occurred to Jack that he wasn't the best. What was the quote when asked if he would play Senior Golf? "Why should I play golf with old guys that I beat regularly on tour. I could beat those guys with only a 3 iron in my bag"😂. Forgive me if my memory of that quote is incorrect. Also, if true, didn't Weiskopf have to intervene and offer a kindly reprimand for that statement?😂

[@curtisthompson8488]

I felt so sorry for Bob May. He deserved to win this PGA as well as he played. Tiger just made some putts under pressure no one else could ever make. Ever.

[@jeffreyval9665]

Unbelievable $900,000 for the champion now they get around 2 million for a major win and well over a million for a regular tournament win. How times have changed and these purses are because of Tiger and have very little to do with inflation.

[@MrDsnc]

When I worked in a Bank that sponsored a PGA tournament our chairman handed out a cheque to the winner that was 90,000 dollars.

[@azapro911]

Injuries prevented Bob May from having a much more illustrious career. When he got a brief window of health in 1999-2000, he proved that he could compete with the absolute best. Tiger had to rip this out of his hands.

[@kellicr9024]

Bob is a very nice guy! I worked at the SoCal PGA in the early 90s where his mom Muriel also worked and that office was crazy!! She would bring blow up dolls and dress them in lingerie to celebrate birthdays for the men who worked in the office! Also ordered a male stripper to entertain the women assitants. Total craziness and I was a target because I had worked at corporate jobs before working there and was in shock that the SoCal PGA (affilitated with the PGA of America) would allow behavior like this. The director of the office (Tom Gustafson) treated me horribly because I didn't play their game and go along with their craziness. He and Muriel are no longer with the SoCal PGA so hopefully the PGA of America got wind of their behavior and got rid of both. This was before MeToo!!

[@sabresthoughts5407]

May's chip on 16 was just ridiculous

[@thenumberquelve158]

I forget the astounding level of swagger that Bob had about him as he was pushing Tiger to his absolute limit. In his heart of hearts he really knew he belonged on this enormous stage. (Also: 59:29 I found the token Packers Fan.)
