The total purse of the 1995 (the year before Tiger turned pro) Players Championship was $3M . This year’s purse was $20M with $3.6M going to the winner alone. THAT’S the Tiger effect.

Woods during his peak was a relentless winning machine. His mindset is what separated him from the rest. He clearly lived in the majority of other golfers heads, instead of playing the course they were playing the man. That was never going to end well. No coincidence the older pros who won during Tigers peak were self assured and experienced with their own game.

Based on how often the narrative was Tiger versus Sergio, I was shocked when I learned Garcia only won one major in his entire career. There was beef, but it turns out there wasn't a rivalry.
it's like the Sharapova vs. Serena thing. Media kept trying to push the narrative that there was a rivalry. anyone with even a mild passing interest in tennis would know that it was more a hilarious beatdown than a rivalry granted i know that Sharapova has accomplished a lot more than Sergio but she's still one of the most overrated players of all time
A rivalry needs to be competitive. There is none here, and Sergio grew up on the Country Club circuit. Tiger handed Sergio his ass, and Sergio eventually resorted to racist tropes. No rivalry just one sided beatdowns.

Love the golf beef, and this makes me sad that the new generation of golf fans won’t understand just how amazing Tiger was during his prime. They will may remember him as a beat up golfer with personal challenges.
I don't think anyone will ever doubt Tiger's greatness. I'm part of the new generation (I was born in 2004), but I know how amazing Tiger was. From his 15-stroke victory at Pebble to his 2008 playoff at the US Open to the 2019 Master's victory. Tiger Woods is the GOAT
Didn’t even make it to the beef history title and gotta comment that opening three-way photo and the shift in perspective to the overshadowed person is absolutely brilliant editing. That zoom to Maria hit hard. Well done!
It does like I’ve never heard of this other human being, or any tiger woods rival for that matter. I always thought Tigers biggest beef was with himself ( his inner demons), and the racism in golf at the time. The best thing Tiger could’ve done was never acknowledge his rivals. Don’t give them the time or attention. Just beat ‘em and let the champagne drown out the noise.
He's not quite Lance, Garcia was a big name in golf, especially in Europe where the Ryder Cup is really valued highly. Garcia is somewhere between Lance and Maria S.
Or stopped abusing painkillers, for that matter. Heck, even getting someone to drive his own car for him probably could have netted him one more tournament win.
My favourite version of this sort of situation is when Andy Roddick spoke about his rivalry with Roger Federer. When asked about it, Federer said that he didn't know there was a rivalry. Ouch 😳
When they were young on tour, golf was still stuffy and considered a rich-white collar sport. People weren’t used to seeing aggressive golfers with huge fan bases. It’s a far different spectator nowadays. The game has relaxed so much and opened up. It was just different back then. Tiger was so exciting to watch every weekend back then. That’s why people still turn out to watch him play. You never know when that Tiger magic will reappear.
@@styner3 - The 82, or course, is just being a phenom. But to have won 11 golf tournaments and how much that means in practice and self control, I am still wayyyy impressed.
@@styner3 Rivalry requires backing up. Beef does not. That's why so many clowns in the NBA have beef with Lebron, for instance, but none of them were ever his rivals.
Their rivalry was essentially over when Sergio wore all yellow that time and Tiger texted his friend about beating the hell out of Tweety Bird. No one can recover from that kind of a slight.
Tiger only dislikes antics when other people do them. He was mad at the exact same behavior he embodied in that era of golf, he just felt entitled about it and got mad about Sergio following in his footsteps.
Well put... Tiger lived in his head while not even trying to. Sergio shoulda focused more on the golf then his dumbass course and off course antics that tiger didn't even bother acknowledging. Sergio was down bad lol.
I don't know about Sergio's state of mind at that game but for an ordinary person like me, beating tiger woods in golf is a story I will never get tired telling anyone
Sergio should of never rebuilt his swing. Guys on tour saw Tiger break his own swing down and come back. I think this set a dangerous precedent for guys that we’re trying to catch him. Sergio wasted a number of his prime years just learning how to hit the ball again.
Its typical really of people like him. If his passion for success equaled how jealous and racist he was then maybe he could have won 2 majors - hahahaha
Sergio has a major flaw that wouldn't last the test of time and need worked out. He went on to become one of the best ball strikers ever. His putter is what has cost him...
The narrative makes golf seem like a one-on-one game but that is rarely the case. Golfers play courses against a field of players not a single person. Sergio was one of the best and still a top pro today but truth is NOBODY came close to Tiger in his prime.
12:00 Tiger was in a bad zone and everyone was looking at Tiger. When he pull the wood it was going to be a tricky shot and thats why they reacted. It wasnt Tigers fault and it wasnt just Tiger putting out a club

I remember back in 07 I think, Vegas had betting odds for exactly that. When Woods competed in PGA events that year he won about 40% of them. Just absurd to think about
Tiger would’ve easily broken pretty much every golf record in terms of wins if his body held up. 8 majors in 3 years then only 7 wins over the next 20.
Sergio was that Skeeter that would fly on you in the summer.....and Tiger would just flick him off his shoulder or arm....like nothing. Sergio, didn't even compare to Tiger's skill set. Any true golf fan who watched during Tiger's reign would agree.

Tiger Woods spent 13 YEARS (over 680 weeks) at number one including a consecutive stretch of over 5 YEARS. He missed eleven (10+1) cuts in 25ish years as a pro. Sergio who???
I always felt like Tiger's true rival (other than himself) was Phil. And they seemed to dislike each other, as well. But it seemed like they were more outwardly respectful of each other than Tiger and Sergio.
Hey SB Nation, huge fan of your content for years now! If I could suggest some future videos: Beef History: Colts vs. Patriots, Steelers vs. Ravens, Rangers vs. Islanders or Devils, I'd say Dodgers vs. Braves is starting to heat up now that Freeman switched teams Rewinder: Philly Special, Suns WCF game winner (I forgot who scored it, I think it was Deandrye Ayton) Collapse: Seahawks (I've got a feeling the channel is already making that video) | "How the '85 Bears shuffled away countless opportunities to build a dynasty" | the 2015 Royals "How baseball's strangest champions were destroyed in record time" | "How a Spurs dynasty that lasted decades has begun to crumble" | "How the Chicago Blackhawks fell from the NHL's modern dynasty into a dark, horrifying scandal" Another series idea I have is "Champions are Made, not Born", where you could examine how teams that spent years being awful were built into champions, showcasing the drafting, trades, and free agent signings needed to build the club into winners. The rams this year are a strong example of that.
Damn, it's a shame Sergio had to go and make the fried chicken comment, cause he was the fun kind of annoying until then. But even with the context of race being treated differently in Spain, there's no way he didn't know why that was messed up to say, especially after it had already been thrown at Tiger once.
@@720zaka Oh for sure, but most of Europe has the situation that they don't actually have many POC, and especially not many black people, specifically because their empires were where they sent slaves, so race is less prevalent in the public conscience, however unfortunate that is.
I love how they keep to the norm. As in you need to know about the sport and the intricacies of how normal game play works. I know no friends that could tell me what stroke play is vs skins vs four ball etc. Let alone knowing what, "he was two strokes down going into Sunday" means. Some people need to get on their golf jargon hard core.
I recall when Tiger played in Europe and people were overjoyed as his ball rolled into the water, he was dismayed. But he didn't write it into scripture. He let it go and finished his business. Players should learn to play the game, not the person. And golf is a game which is played individually, no obustruction, no kicking, you're practically by yourself. Why should you care what the other person is doing?! The young guy felt entitled! He had his problems. Nobody refused him to WIN!!
Choke-ee-o Garcia was never a big enough of a challenger for Woods to even be concerned about him. You have to challenge the greatest to be a threat and Garcia never was consistent enough to ever consistently challenge Woods.
I'm glad Sergio Garcia ultimately disappointed as a pro golfer. Dude was a total prima donna punk. Also, Tiger looks so faded on painkillers at 6:10 ... I'm guessing dude's struggles with opiates started even before the surgeries...
Sergio let too many major championship Sundays get away from him. Honestly did have the talent but nowhere near as strong as Tiger where it mattered most: between the ears.
He might even be Hall of Fame worthy without his PGA Tour wins. Hes by far the best Ryder Cup player of all time and has 25 pro wins in non PGA Tour events despite playing on the PGA Tour most of his career. It is disappointing tho for sure when you look at all that international success and only see 11 PGA Tour wins tho
Interestingly, though not noted, was that at Bethpage in 2002, Tiger actually got the worst end of the draw on the first two days scoring/condition wise which made Garcia's whining that much more ridiculous.

Golf beef? I am here for it, thank you Secret Base
The good news: Sergio is off our tour, and hopefully more to come.
FINALLY GOLF BEEF!!!!!!!
Thank you for this vid. Els and Singh were the second cuts' best. Tiger was just too good.
Seth we need a Rewinder on a famous golf moment there’s never been one. Tiger, Phil, Payne Stewart all have some good moments.
Tiger Woods spent 13 YEARS (over 680 weeks) at number one including a consecutive stretch of over 5 YEARS. He missed eleven (10+1) cuts in 25ish years as a pro. Sergio who???
just going to remind you that he's made millions hitting a round ball into a hole, and you're here on TH-cam.
I always felt like Tiger's true rival (other than himself) was Phil. And they seemed to dislike each other, as well. But it seemed like they were more outwardly respectful of each other than Tiger and Sergio.
Hey SB Nation, huge fan of your content for years now! If I could suggest some future videos:
Beef History: Colts vs. Patriots, Steelers vs. Ravens, Rangers vs. Islanders or Devils, I'd say Dodgers vs. Braves is starting to heat up now that Freeman switched teams
Rewinder: Philly Special, Suns WCF game winner (I forgot who scored it, I think it was Deandrye Ayton)
Collapse: Seahawks (I've got a feeling the channel is already making that video) | "How the '85 Bears shuffled away countless opportunities to build a dynasty" | the 2015 Royals "How baseball's strangest champions were destroyed in record time" | "How a Spurs dynasty that lasted decades has begun to crumble" | "How the Chicago Blackhawks fell from the NHL's modern dynasty into a dark, horrifying scandal"
Another series idea I have is "Champions are Made, not Born", where you could examine how teams that spent years being awful were built into champions, showcasing the drafting, trades, and free agent signings needed to build the club into winners. The rams this year are a strong example of that.
wow look at all of these mediocre ideas
@@joshgobble Chicago fan?
Damn, it's a shame Sergio had to go and make the fried chicken comment, cause he was the fun kind of annoying until then. But even with the context of race being treated differently in Spain, there's no way he didn't know why that was messed up to say, especially after it had already been thrown at Tiger once.
"the context of race being treated differently in Spain" : they kind of invented transatlantic slavery ?!!!!
@@720zaka Oh for sure, but most of Europe has the situation that they don't actually have many POC, and especially not many black people, specifically because their empires were where they sent slaves, so race is less prevalent in the public conscience, however unfortunate that is.
@@jordanfry5138 nah. They do. And they're very racist about it ;)
@@jordanfry5138 Europeans are racist on a level that would make the American south blush
Wait, a bird interfered with their shot on the 13th hole? Is this commonplace or just par for the course
I believe to this day Sergio dressed in all yellow to resemble a banana. Prove me wrong
Did I actually hear a golf crowd described as “rowdy”. In comparison to what, chess crowds?
Imagine being so talented yet solely hating Tiger because of his fame and success. And he got creamed constantly and all he could do is whine
I love how they keep to the norm. As in you need to know about the sport and the intricacies of how normal game play works. I know no friends that could tell me what stroke play is vs skins vs four ball etc. Let alone knowing what, "he was two strokes down going into Sunday" means. Some people need to get on their golf jargon hard core.
I recall when Tiger played in Europe and people were overjoyed as his ball rolled into the water, he was dismayed. But he didn't write it into scripture. He let it go and finished his business. Players should learn to play the game, not the person.
And golf is a game which is played individually, no obustruction, no kicking, you're practically by yourself. Why should you care what the other person is doing?!
The young guy felt entitled! He had his problems. Nobody refused him to WIN!!
I remember some of this beef even though I've never really followed golf. Maybe it's because of that, but it felt easy to take Tiger's side.
Sergio’s laugh face is exactly like Tom Cruise’s
Nah, more like Tweety Bird
Tiger was so good, he was inside of his opponents' heads without even talking to them, and Garcia suffered him for all his carreer
That handshake at the end looks like, SG: "Really sorry 'bout the fried chicken crack!" TW: "Apology accepted, but I ain't forgettin' that, Jack."
Sergio had the nerve to poke the Tiger during his prime. And he paid dearly.
Choke-ee-o Garcia was never a big enough of a challenger for Woods to even be concerned about him. You have to challenge the greatest to be a threat and Garcia never was consistent enough to ever consistently challenge Woods.
Does anyone know the piano piece that is playing in the background of the first few minutes of the video? Great video as always!
this is so tame compared to beef in other sports
Most polite beef ever lol
It’s criminal how phenomenal these guys were, especially Phil & Vijay but just being overshadowed by Tiger’s stupid greatness
Tiger was focused to be the best ever. Garcia was too focused on beating Tiger.
I'm glad Sergio Garcia ultimately disappointed as a pro golfer. Dude was a total prima donna punk. Also, Tiger looks so faded on painkillers at 6:10 ... I'm guessing dude's struggles with opiates started even before the surgeries...
Sergio let too many major championship Sundays get away from him. Honestly did have the talent but nowhere near as strong as Tiger where it mattered most: between the ears.
Well said.
Sergio Garcia may be the only person in sports to be hall-of-fame worthy, but also a big dissapointment.
He might even be Hall of Fame worthy without his PGA Tour wins. Hes by far the best Ryder Cup player of all time and has 25 pro wins in non PGA Tour events despite playing on the PGA Tour most of his career. It is disappointing tho for sure when you look at all that international success and only see 11 PGA Tour wins tho
I remember a lot of people saying the same thing about Greg Norman before Garcia's choking narrative took a more definite shape
Definetly deserves more likes. Good video.
Nobody was gonna challenge Tiger in those days….it was as if a player from 2022 came back in time to 1999 to play.
Interestingly, though not noted, was that at Bethpage in 2002, Tiger actually got the worst end of the draw on the first two days scoring/condition wise which made Garcia's whining that much more ridiculous.
the 10 first seconds, feel so sorry for all these athletes still on the grind
I cant wait for the Brian Flores vs the NFL Beef History
Great video! Need more golf beef
Beef in golf? The most boring sports next to chess? What's next?
This video reminds me of my love life problem, but sadly for me I am Sergio Garcia in this story.
two of my favorite golfers.
