Tiger Woods vs. J.B. Holmes: 2008 WGC - Dell Match Play Highlights

[@brandonlambert1586]

For 11 years (97-08) Tiger was a master of getting everything out of most of his rounds and turning bad rounds into good enough rounds to move onto the weekend or next round of match play, then he'd bury them the next day. He obviously had a few good years after that too but I'm not sure if we'll ever witness another decade of dominance like that in golf again, at least for a long time. Plus he did this through multiple injuries, personal problems, and who knows what else. Amazing

[@CCROGGY]

He was also unstoppable in 2009 but the PGA at Hazeltine that year really ruined his psyche as a golfer in the years to come. That tournament probably caused more damage than his scandal that plagued him tbh

[@beckyhenkel7917]

In three centuries maybe!

[@gemini8966]

we might be lucky enough to see that. BUT, I doubt it...such brilliance and the excitement we witnessed over the years will be hard to top.

[@TheLocalLt]

Elijah Schreiber this is actually the last time they played it there. This course (The Gallery GC) hosted twice, 07 and 08, before they moved it to another course in the same town, Marana, AZ. However the players hated the new course (GC at Dove Mountain) especially the greens, and after it snowed during the 5th year it was played there, many of the good players gave up on the course and stopped coming. So in 2015 the PGA then moved it back to California.

Kelly Tiglman made me quit watching Thursday-Friday coverage for that period of like 3 years when she was very often calling it. Bill Macatee, Terry Gannon, Roger Twibell, and Rich Lerner were all much more listenable Thursday-Friday announcers in that era. Her “lynch him in a back alley” comment was edgy and triggering enough to be interesting, so I don’t dislike her personally, and I think she was good on golf central and live from, but she was not good at play by play.

[@TheLocalLt]

O. G. Tiger woods is probably the best singles match play golfer that has ever lived. Not that he isn’t the best at stroke play too, but plenty of stroke play legends don’t have a match play record like Tiger’s. Didn’t lose at all as an amateur, very rarely lost as a pro. It’s a little surprising he didn’t win the match play before 2003, but he was upset in 99, lost in the final in 2000, skipped in 01 when it was in Australia, the famous upset by Nick O’Hern in 02 and then finally won it in 03 and 04. Especially surprising considering his previous victory at La Costa in 1997 when it was hosting the Mercedes Championships, where in a virtual match play situation Tiger destroyed Tom Lehman.
