This video is awesome. Although, I wish it included their actual voices.
I agree!
💯
Ya..
You heard the man
DIG EM UP
Thank you. Just not the same. I quit watching because of that. It felt like total click bait.
One of the coolest videos you guys have put out.
This was super cool! Loved hearing from all the great masters Champs on how they play the hole!
I grew up literally on the fairways of golf courses in the Palm Springs/Palm Desert area and went to high school in Pebble Beach. I know golf courses. I know the most beautiful golf courses anywhere!
However, when my wife and I attended the Masters about 8 years ago, after entering the grounds at Agusta National on a Practice Day at about 8:30am I almost dropped to my knees at my first sight of the course. It's majesty and magnificence is simply indescribable, for me at least.
With every angle, view, fairway knoll, creek, green, incredible change in elevation......everything, it just exceeded all expectation and fantasy. It was almost a religious experience.
Some might think this is hyperbole, but I'm dead serious. It's crazy beautiful.
Been trying to get there for over 20 years. Still trying to get tickets JUST to see the course.

I understand. My wife and I are trying like hell to get back.
A friend of mine who is a race car driver (Indycar) has only been in the United States for two years and has already played two rounds at Agusta National. He wonders why I refer to him as "that son-of-a-bitch"!
You sound like me when I kissed my first girl

Thanks for this. I'm teeing off at the masters on Thursday, going to use these tips!
Me too! On the simulator, of course, but still...
Good luck!!!!!!! So cool 😎
I'm there now. Texting this in from the practice fairway. Tiger has his fly undone and doesn't realise!
I saw you on TV today! Helluva round sir!
Congrats on making the cut!
Now this is a great video with read commentary from the Masters on course management. 👏👏👏👍🏼
Very cool to see this just a couple of days from the start of the tournament. A lot of small details that even the commentators might miss. Really looking forward to this one. Planning my meals in advance, so I am locked and loaded.
Amazing video. Would be cool if you could do more of these for some iconic golf courses. St. Andrews for example
This is easily the best ever video of how to play Augusta , you can't ask for better advice on how to play a particular hole than from a Green jacket Champion
Agreed. I’ve watched a few times. Well listen to mainly. But I’ve started it a few times now so I can watch after listening to it countless times so far.
Really appreciate the perspectives of former Champions who won the Masters! Excellent video.
Wow🤩. Enjoined listening to every word.
Thank you 🙏 golf digest. We need more of this 🙌.
Absolutely beautiful. So perfectly produced. Thank you!
Took me till Gary player to realize the players aren’t actually speaking
How? It's the same guy reading every single one haha
Yeah, me too. Was expecting a South African accent, then realised it was the same guy narrating.
Took me til DJ not even kidding
Damn I just found out now, spoiler alert
@@Cory703 then you’re just not paying attention 😂
Managed to get a tee time for Augusta tommorow morning on golf now, this video will help me immensely
There’s absolutely NO WAY you managed to get a tee time for Augusta National- can’t believe someone gave you a thumbs up…
Reasons there’s NO WAY you could’ve made a tee time for Augusta National using:
1) Augusta National is a private club- only extremely wealthy and influential people are members of the club
2) The Masters is being played at Augusta this week; thus, ONLY PGA TOUR PLAYERS will be on the course
Anyway, better check that you reserved the right “Augusta”!golf course…
@@chriso5193 chill Karen... its a joke
@@hookseybaby never know with some people… If I knew ya or have seen other witty posts, then I would’ve understood. You do realize that many people believe we haven’t visited the moon, we’re living in a simulation, you got a tee time during The Masters, etc
On my old computer I could play 2001 Links golf, and someone made the Masters course and shared it online....I'm sure that was not 'official'...it was simply awesome. I got to know every hole, the detail was so well done. But all good things have to come to an end.
This was amazing! Thank you for this video … wow, it’s beautiful.
What an amazing insight into the challenges these champions faced and overcame at Augusta on their way to Masters glory. Loved hearing the strategy and perils of playing these famous holes! I wish they'd put Augusta on Toptracer.
It’s such an interesting course. It’s pretty wide open and the fairways run. What makes it hard is that there are almost no flat lies and the greens. So many of theses courses the guys can bomb it and hit a wedge or short iron right at the pin. At Augusta you need the perfect distance and landing spot so the slope takes the ball to the hole. We have seen the course be super wet and calm wind, scores are low12-15 under. When it’s playing fast and firm with just a bit of wind 3-5 under can win it.
Excellent video. Deserves 3 million more views.
Great overview of Augusta National!
i wish
A) i was good enough to have to take all these things into account when making shots
B) has the opportunity to play at such a beautiful course.
my goodness it looks fun
This is getting me hyped for the tournament.
Wow this makes it look so easy, I reckon its a solid par 67 for most people if they watch this video.
I was really hooping you would be mean enough to have Spieth talk about 12.
It would hurt me because he is the player I most cheer for, but it would be peak content.
Larry Mize discussing #11. Beautiful.
Man, idk what it is but hearing Tiger instantly brings me to tears.
Ya this is super dope, pga Channel needs to learn from y’all … well done
Such a great upload.
Left handed faders paradise
Loved this so much!
I'm with Bubba. 13 is the best hole at Augusta. I can't put my finger on why I love it so much. I think it's the look of the green with those bunkers behind and Azaleas everywhere.
Nice video. I like 12 for its beauty. I like 15th for that calming/scary, you'll lose big time if u screw up here affect. That name, "Firethorn" is cool. That's what I think they intended with all the water holes (12, 13, 16), creating a Jekyll & Hyde effect.
A TEN handicap playing here for the first time would not crack 100 on this great course from the Tour Tees. The Greens are so tough that if you put the ball in the wrong place, a 3 putt is guaranteed, and a 4-putt can easily come into play. I would love to play it someday but that is a total fantasy.
This was awesome
Jack did hit it in the water at 16. 1990, with Faldo….
I was ALMOST DISSAPOINTED, but told myself Tiger would do 18... he HAS TO! AND he did
I had to cheat and check the description because I was thinking the exact same thing.
14 Master's victories by the guys doing 16, 17, and 18... knew they would have the GOAT's go last
Was hoping for Phil on 18!
This was so good. So hyped.
The music is very relaxing
Fantastic. Thank you
"Hit it long and right by the bamboo trees and its an easy bogey"
Me: "Ok, Deal"
Great stuff. Just a bit loud with the music. Thanks.
Drives me nuts when unnecessary lout music is added that covers up good info. My hearing sucks and it’s like trying to have a conversation in a loud restaurant.
Can LIV golf hold any tournament in Augusta?
It helps to be good, consistent, and talented.
Got a tee time this weekend. Can't wait.
Putt putt doesn't count, sorry
Awesome video
Where's Lefty?
the only critique for this video is that I wish it included their actual voices.
besides that, excellent video
That’s an excellent video
Imagine one of the guys at the masters getting caught watching this video on the course hahaha
Pure class.
Hahah cant believe it took me to DJ til I realised the players weren't speaking
Incredible
Adam Scott's got an American accent! 😁
Great video.
So is Danny Wilett
such a great video
Would've loved to hear each player actually speak, as well as the narrator did. I'm confident the players would've loved it too.
You pronounce words with S's just like Rickie Fowler. Fitting for this.
do this for other majors as well please!
That's hard to do since the courses are always different for the most part
This is so good! Thanks for this.
I was expecting to hear the voices of the champions.
How did O'meara hit a 7 iron 240 yds !? In 1998 no less .
Great video. However, the music is fighting with the voiceover. Makes it particularly hard to follow.
Very good.
This is the best course on earth.
kinda wild phil isn't in the video. whats up monahan?
Epic stuff.
So good
This video is awesome but it including their actual voices would have made it worthy to watch the whole thing
Mark o meara full 7 iron on #4 240 yards? Right... 3:35
Hearing that Jack, as far as he remembers, has never hit a ball in the water in a tournament, is quite mind-boggling.
Actually he hit it into the water at number 15 once but played out of it and almost holed it.
if i ever play this course i will 100% hit the water
@@mostdeadlygeist I’d prolly have a higher water percentage than fairways
He said he hadn't hit it in the water on 16, not the entire tournament.
@@dash_r_media thank you for setting him straight
This narrator guy made Dustin Johnson sound interested.
Remarkable how many golf legends say how easy it is to score a 5 or 6 on many of Augusta’s holes.
Can't wait to see tiger win another one someday
I just want to play there one time. I would probably shoot an 85 but love every second of it.
Unless you are a touring pro or +hcp, 85 would be an outstanding score!
What about two-time winner Jose Maria?
I kind of wish it was actually narrated by the winners, but I understand some of that isn't possible.
Jack eagled 5 twice in one week!! Unbelievable
and i cant find video footage of it... so disappointing
Why the foreground music?
Good video, but the music volume easily drowned out much of the speaking.
Laying up on 3!!!!!
This video is out of date. They have changed holes 11 and 15...mainly on the distance
would like to see a Tiger round
Langer really cleaned up his German accent😊
Danny Willett winning a Masters is the still so funny to me
Hold up. Did I hear Palm trees and Bamboo is actually on the course?
The fact that you put Tiger for the 18th
Huge opportunity missed to have the guy actually read it on camera instead of narrated. It's better in their own voice. Still cool tho
Sure. These fellas have all the Masters champs on speed dial...
Great piano playing at the beginning, anybody knows who it could be?
Adrien Brody.
@@milan.2412 😂
@@milan.2412 Thank you Milan. Remember, it’s a choice to be a d*ck.

This is how to make golf harder. Don’t deaden the ball or lengthen courses
You should have explained that the voices were not the actual players
Fun Fact: Fred Ridley is playing piano for the background music!!!
Thanks Fred. But turn it down just a hair. I missed some dialogue.
How to play Augusta….. it’s soooooooo easy! Down the middle, on the green, in the hole! BAMMM!! 😂😂😂
Go Tiger
Danny Willet and no Phil.....good job guys
No Phil?
The biggest thing I can’t believe in golf is now how Jack holed out twice for eagle , on the same hole, in the same year ??? No, that’s impossible
This should be fun
I thought for sure Tiger would analyze 16 and Jack would take 18
Perhaps an ignorant question. I’ve heard the Masters makes changes yearly or almost yearly to adapt the course to modern play; in other words to keep the course competitive for the current group of Pros (no easy holes). If that is the case, how have some of these holes changed since Nicholas, Watson, Faldo etc. played and therefore the strategy to the hole? Just wondering.
They've lengthen the entire course. Added more bunkers and also made them deeper. Tighter fairways that command precision tee shots. Undulating greens makes three putts not so uncommon. A wayward drive or a putting mis read will take you out of contention quick like, fast and in a hurry. Any round under par is a great round, shooting even par is a good round. This beast is hard to tame!
