He absolutely _dismantled_ The Old Course that year. Didn't end up in a single bunker the entire weekend. It was one of the most clinical displays of golf ever seen. A course that demands patience and precision.
@@shawnenglish9815 I think he said a couple times he got lucky. I've always believed you engineer your own luck. He clearly hit enough shots well enough that not even his bad ones had high chances to go in!
@@Real28 He was joking about the luck. The man won by 8 shots...4 bunkers wouldn't have derailed him. I believe you are talking about being lucky that he didn't get into a bunker...all week, not all weekend. Just to edit your "alternative fact."
@@aaronsmith7946 to play 18 holes at the Old Course and not land in a bunker requires considerable skill and likely some luck. For 72 holes it would seem unbelievable, but there it is. This and his Pebble Beach massacre are why I put him at #1. Not that I don't love Jack and Ben, but prime Tiger had fewer flaws in his game than anyone.
Great to see this footage in improved quality. Previously uploads have been from the raw broadcast +20 years ago. Also pretty funny that the official name of the tournament seen in the TV broadcast was "The 129th British Open Sponsored by Mastercard".
That was only used on the American telecast, the R&A let ABC sell a presenting sponsorship from 1999-2002, being branded as the “British Open presented by MasterCard”. In 2004 the R&A started requiring ABC to refer to it as “The Open Championship” and also prohibited future presenting sponsors.
I love the 2000 swing. He stayed taller through the downswing, none of that squat and jumping at it and let the arms win the race allowing him to keep from getting stuck.
Coming off a 15-shot win at Pebble Beach, in the fucking US Open. Wins here by 8 strokes and goes on to complete the Tiger Slam the following year🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Wow! That was harsh, “Mandatory idiot saying, “Get in the hole!”” Heaven forbid a ticket buying fan would wish a player well, by cheering for him. What’s wrong with these announcers?
8:22 "Mandatory idiot yelling 'get in the hole' "
I love the European Tour announcers who aren't afraid to call out an idiot when they hear one.
Also at 13:03 😂
Those idiots sure have multiplied over the last 20 years!
We're too sensitive about everything here in the US....
@@TSK24692 just big mouthed about everything !!
@@TSK24692 At least I don't think a golf ball is going to listen to me.

Yeah he got lucky. 😉

These young kids will never believe how dominant he was. The greatest to ever do it.
I love how the weather suddenly goes from a gorgeous summer day to looking dull, cold and miserable around holes 11, 12, 13
Britain, baby
That's Scottish weather for you. It will be nice here then it will be fucking pissing it down 2 minutes later, or the other way around!
THE OPEN CHANNEL KNOW WHAT WE LIKE

I absolutely adored his golf in this tournament ! It had everything that goat had to offer ! What a treat to watch this !
the best ever
The Open has the best TH-cam channel! Always pumping out great content
puts the pga to absolute shame.
I played the Old Course the week after, greens were sooooo fast
Pinnacle of golf commentary
I love the 2000 swing. He stayed taller through the downswing, none of that squat and jumping at it and let the arms win the race allowing him to keep from getting stuck.
The 3rd shot of onto road hole, absolute class..
Course management
I really wish there was footage from his second round. -6. That was truly incredible
Alex and Peter, when did you last post -19 in a PGA Open golf tournament, if ever or win the 4 PGA tournament grand slam in 1 year?. Respect to TW.
Thank you
Love the "dab" followthrough!
He made that look preeeetty easy

"oh that idiot" 13:01 haha
He stopped trying to attack flags bc he knew he had the tournament secured
Destroyed this course so much a lot of changes were brought on because of it

Get rid of the terrible music
8:24 This guy is the reason people dont want to play golf. Pompus.
