Sublime video, fantastic narration, good balance. Simply tremendous. Much appreciated, watching young Tiger gave me goosebumps.

[@jcm9273]

This is a masterpiece. Been watching it for years. Never gets old. There will never be another player like young Tiger. Impossible for anyone to duplicate.

[@hlf_coder6272]

David Duval still fascinates me. During Tiger’s peak, he was the only guy that beat him somewhat regularly. Then he won a major and said it was nowhere near as cool as he expected it to be, and dropped off the face of the Earth. You don’t see that everyday

[@grantcullen8864]

The last time I heard about Duval was in the 2019 Open at Portrush where he made a 15 on a par 4.

[@andrewgundy3045]

Bad back and yips

He beat him a few times not regularly.

Duvall has vertigo as well that also can mess with a athletes skills & most of all their mind.

[@tdktdk99]

We could also compare David Coulthard to Michael Schumacher back in the 2000s … lol

[@johnelsliger6796]

If you play golf , you can certainly realize how difficult his play was and how great a player Tiger was from 1997 until 2008

[@dtgps]

Jack won the US Am in 1959 and professional majors in each of the next three decades, capped of with the his 18th Major, the 86 Masters at age 46.

[@dpelpal]

There was no better time to be a golfer than from 1997 to 2005. The things Tiger was doing were....superhuman. Poeple who don't play golf will never understand the magnitude of what he did. It wasn't that people thought that he _might_ be a deity...there were people who thought he was actually _God._ Yeah, like there were people who really believed that.

[@michaelneil5946]

I always laugh when I see people trying to say "But Jack Nicklaus..." He won more, yeah. He never dominated the game like Tiger did, or transform the sport.

[@beckyhenkel7917]

Thank you. Those who don't believe that should talk to people who played with him. Or they could watch "Tigers Six Peat."

[@SeanRof]

We were lucky enough to stay in St Andrews last summer and play the Old Course with a member. Incredible and beautiful place. Never felt like that standing on the 1st tee, nervous as hell, and went on to top it straight down the middle about 160yds. Settled down but sunburned on the front 9, and sideways rain from about the 14th. We were then lucky enough to have lunch in the members bar afterwards, overlooking approaches to 18. A great experience which keeps me coming back to search for videos like this, thanks.

I remember that perfection. Day after day, people waited for him to blink, but he never did. What a great feeling it must have been for him to know he could carry any and all of those diabolical bunkers, and 2-putt for birdie.

[@chefscorner7063]

I love one of the beginning shots of this video. Shows a man hitting shots off the sand on a beach at St Andrews. It reminds me of when I used to go surfing and would bring my Sand Wedge with me. I would get out of the water a bit earlier then my buddies and practice my sand shots on the beach while they still surfed. If one of them got within range of my sand wedge (up to 100 yards) I would take some shots at them seeing how close I could get and more times then not, the shots would be within 10 feet or so of them. One of the reasons I still feel pretty comfortable playing out of the sand, or at least as comfortable as one can get with a sand shot! Ahhhh, The Good Ole days!!! LOL Cheers!! ;)

[@c.jarmstrong3111]

Tiger will always be THE MAN

[@creativitycell]

This proves that getting in contention to win a Major is one thing, but you're better off being in 2nd to last group rather than having to go head to head directly with Tiger in last group, the extra crowds, the media frenzy following you around every hole! His psychological strength, focus, and aura! Even if I was level, I'd rather have been a shot behind Tiger in the group previous group! 😳🤣

[@TheLocalLt]

Duval gave it a valiant run that first 9 holes on Sunday head to head with Tiger, before faltering while Tiger turned on the jets. Side note, I always found it interesting that the final round of the 2010 Open, also at St Andrew’s, where Paul Casey was chasing Louis Oosthuizen, played out as almost a carbon-copy of the better-known Woods-Duval encounter in 2000.

The two things that stand out to me about St. Andrews--the greens aren't cut to show up as clearly as on other courses, and my _goodness,_ those bunkers aren't playing. They're as tough to escape as they are intimidating...normal bunkers are just sand pits, but these bunkers have WALLS. And how does anyone even get the ball out of that Road Hole? Edit: Oh, you bounce it off the walls. Thanks for the demonstration, Mr. Duval!

JoefromNJ1 which means Jack was better now Tiger is the best golfer I’ve seen I was born in 1985. However Jack played against big time golf legends Palmer, Watson, Floyd, Norman, Player, Trevino, Seve, Jacklin, Irwin, Fuzzy etc With Tiger he’s played against greats like Vejay, Phil, Ernie Els, David Duval but after that it’s a major nose dive Ye Yang, Rich Beem, Michael Campbell all won majors beating Tiger. However what have they done since you haven’t heard there name again, where the guys Jack Nicklaus beat & even lost too they stayed around & had multiple major victories.
