Gentle Ben is an ICON not only of the game of golf but of a man as well. When an honor to live during the time that he played. What a great example for all golfers and men to emulate.
There has never been a more frozen moment in time than Ben’s expression of emotion in winning his 2nd Masters tournament, and the heartwarming moment when Ben’s caddie offers a legendary hug for Ben’s beautiful human expression of love for his mentor Harvey Pinnick, who had passed away a few days earlier…this beautiful moment of a black caddie and a white golfer should serve as a legendary portrait for all to see the power of emotion sweeping away any racial diversity…this one photograph should stand forever as to the magical sense of camaraderie and bond that envelops all sports, dismissing forever any racial, religious or ethnic beliefs…may the good Lord richly bless Ben and his ever faithful caddie with good health and happiness, until they walk together that last fairway …
I have high respect for Ben’s stout stands defending the game’s tradition. All greats in the past and even some in present will agree with him. Money is seed of all evil and greed.
LIV is funded by Saudi Arabia. All but two of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. Period. “Never forget” is apparently only a meaningless quote when it comes to many of the already super wealthy PGA professionals. Golf, a sport of honesty, tradition and class is fading into history. I haven’t watched a televised golf event since LIV was formed. I hope there are many out there who agree.
Remember watching Crenshaw at brookside in columbus back in the early 70's. He had the reputation of the next big Star. Being very hansome, beautiful women swooned over him.
Keep up the good fight Ben. I am right behind you. These greedy little punks todays have no respect for the game and how hard all the legends before them fought to bring this beautiful game to the forefront. It boggles my mind how the new guys are so shocked that you need to make the cut and play well to make money. Wow, what a shocker….. let’s see, it’s only been this way since the tour started almost 100 years ago. Here is a thought, PLAY BETTER!!!!!!!!! Don’t tell me there is no money in golf before LIV. Can you say Tiger Woods. If you play lights out, not only will you get more prize money, but the endorsements will come begging for you as well. These guys are all worth 10’s of millions of dollars. How much more do you need? Greed is killing all sports. If it wasn’t for Arnie, Jack, Watson and so many others, the golf prize money would not have grown to what it became before Tiger. If it wasn’t for Tiger, it would not be what it is today. All these guys will kill the game for good and then there will be nothing to play for at all. I give the LIV tour and then it will be gone and the weak ass PGA will let all those losers back. I say you made your bed now you have to lay in it. Screw them
a staunch traditionalist who stood up to controversial positions on Ryder cup for pay and LIV for money, not the love of the game, now admits, change is inevitable and he has relaxed his position
@hedonismunderstands2469 It didn't matter whether he was 5 feet from the hole or 95 feet from the hole. As long as he was on the green: guaranteed 2 putt and many 1 putts.
You miss the point entirely. Every single tour player today putts under the rules of Ben Crenshaw. Even Tiger. And his claim to fame is that he was man enough to open up about it. There were a few others who knew how to putt too but every single one of them kept it to themselves. Even Nicklaus. That alone makes him one of the all time greats. People forget, up until about 1960 it was almost a given that the leader was going to choke somewhere on the last 4 holes with their putter. Crenshaw ended that for everyone by telling people what he did to be such a great putter. It's the RELEASE stupid. The release takes the player out of the putt.
The name "Gentle Ben" was given to Crenshaw with sarcasm, after a temper tantrum he threw in a junior tournament (and it was not his first blow-up). With experience, his demeanor improved...
I won’t watch LIV golf and the players who went to LIV for the money are history to me. I still the watch PGA tour and will continue to. There is plenty of new talent there.
If the players didn't get played,who keeps the enormous amount of money these tournaments make,the pga, that's what it's all about,same argument with other sports,money talks and bullshit walks
I carried for him and Jay Haus at Bandon Dunes in 2005. Jay was nice but Ben ooozed kindness. Great man. Ran into him again a few years later. He was coming out the clubhouse at Pacific Dunes. He almost run over my golfers 😊 he apologized and my player told him how he had a hat signed by him years earlier had been ruined by his wife. Ben told the players to go get hats and he would sign them. They did and he spent ten minutes talking with them. I disagree with him on LIV though. We do business with China every day. The Chinese communist party is horrible but we do. It's no different than doing business with Saudi. In addition the "not f9r profit " organization known as the PGA suddenly found 800 million in a sock drawer.
What rumor did he finally reveal and no the pay for play for American ryder cup players did not over shadow the Great American come back win. I also agree with ben if you don't want to represent your country don't play.
Absolutely. I went to school with Ben and while we weren't close friends, we knew each other. This "article" is TOTAL rubbish and not worth wasting one's time on.
In 1968 the PGA Tour is formed. Led by Nicklaus and Palmer, the players split from the PGA of America because they didn't like PGA Club Professionals being allowed in their event$. The split was only about the money. So get off your high-horse and accept that PGA Tour players are not some kind of holier than thou "traditionalists". They wear slave-made clothes and act as though they're staunch "traditionalist' just looking to "protect the game", because you don't know the facts and fall for their propaganda. You lap it up because of their golf talent and refuse to believe your lying eyes.
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah...! NO "shocking revelations" in this video. Just the same 2 or 3 statements / clips / pics, repeated over and over again for 9 minutes. Sheesh....boring!!
Gentle Ben is an ICON not only of the game of golf but of a man as well. When an honor to live during the time that he played. What a great example for all golfers and men to emulate.
Oddly the 99 Ryder Cup was the moment the PGA/Euro Tour threw out the first page of golf's rule book forever.
There has never been a more frozen moment in time than Ben’s expression of emotion in winning his 2nd Masters tournament, and the heartwarming moment when Ben’s caddie offers a legendary hug for Ben’s beautiful human expression of love for his mentor Harvey Pinnick, who had passed away a few days earlier…this beautiful moment of a black caddie and a white golfer should serve as a legendary portrait for all to see the power of emotion sweeping away any racial diversity…this one photograph should stand forever as to the magical sense of camaraderie and bond that envelops all sports, dismissing forever any racial, religious or ethnic beliefs…may the good Lord richly bless Ben and his ever faithful caddie with good health and happiness, until they walk together that last fairway …
It told us nothing. It just repeated the fact that Crenshaw respects the values of the sport. Waste of time.
Thank you for watching. I will relay the feedback to the team for future videos.
@@golficonsyt 😄LOL😄
Ben has made a great contribution to the game as a player and now as a course designer
Great video, thank you for sharing 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Class act of a human being… only BEN…. ❤️🩹🌹💪🏻🇺🇸LOVE YOU MR. CRENSHAW…….. THANK YOU SIR!!!!!!!
I have high respect for Ben’s stout stands defending the game’s tradition. All greats in the past and even some in present will agree with him. Money is seed of all evil and greed.
Ben is my favourite golfer ever!

no all of the high jackets was President Brush and his cronies. Saudi pilots are a lie. You need to research.
Yea well guess what....the PGA TOUR took plenty of Saudi $ over the years.
@@patc1309 how much and when?
@@patc1309 crickets.....
Well, we thought the terrorists flew the planes, but they couldn’t fly Cessnas, so . . .

Always liked Ben…
Useless clickbait. Does nothing justice.

Best putter I ever saw.
fave quote about him: 'he could hole a twenty foot putt with an easter egg using a rake...'
@hedonismunderstands2469 It didn't matter whether he was 5 feet from the hole or 95 feet from the hole. As long as he was on the green: guaranteed 2 putt and many 1 putts.
Pretty rich criticizing LIV golf considering the origins of the PGA Tour.
You miss the point entirely. Every single tour player today putts under the rules of Ben Crenshaw. Even Tiger. And his claim to fame is that he was man enough to open up about it. There were a few others who knew how to putt too but every single one of them kept it to themselves. Even Nicklaus. That alone makes him one of the all time greats.

This is utter clickbait BS!!
The name "Gentle Ben" was given to Crenshaw with sarcasm, after a temper tantrum he threw in a junior tournament (and it was not his first blow-up). With experience, his demeanor improved...
The name "Gentle Ben" came from a television show about a Black Bear whose name was..wait for it..Gentle Ben. 😂
A lotta shots with Lions in the background! 🤘🏾
Should be the PGA Commissioner. His credentials are very powerful.
I won’t watch LIV golf and the players who went to LIV for the money are history to me.
I still the watch PGA tour and will continue to. There is plenty of new talent there.
I'd say you are either a hypocrite or just ignorant. The PGA Tour formed because of money.
Ben is a friend, not sure why a standard with Mark Lye and Tom Kite made the video? Or did I miss something
The PGA takes in BILLIONS, while paying out millions? Let that sink way in! The PLAYERS are getting screwed~
If the players didn't get played,who keeps the enormous amount of money these tournaments make,the pga, that's what it's all about,same argument with other sports,money talks and bullshit walks

6:00 short cut. Nothing interesting
I can see why views are so low!

The LIV tour has awaken the PGA Tour up! LIV is here for a couple more years, the PGA will be here 100 years from now?
Total B.S.

Please edit and fact check your videos. The pronunciation of LIV golf is awful. AI narration requires human checking.

If you watch other stories from this channel, they use the word "unwavering" a lot.along with the word "revalations".Ae all of these by AI?

Yet we rely on the Saudis for oil because Brandon didn't want us to be energy independent. Give me a break...
Pay the babies! That way they will be able to wear their caps and stuff!
Nice Artificial Intelligence Voice
An evolving landscape??? More like an evolving greedscape
Ben hasn't aged well
