- Tiger Woods’ third-round 65 earned him a share of the lead in what became a rain-shortened 54-holes event. Woods squared off against Tom Lehman in a playoff where Woods won on the very first hole.
Tiger Woods' chase for Sam Snead's record of 82 PGA TOUR wins began at the 1996 Las Vegas Invitational, his first TOUR win in just his fifth professional start. Over 20 years later Woods' excellence has seen him raise a trophy in six countries and 16 different American states.

Here's is the real story. The winning check that day was $216,000. In 2021 first place at the Genesis Invitational was $1,674,000. First place at the 2021 BMW Championship was $1,270,931. First place at the 2021 Arnold Palmer Invitational was $1,674,000. And these are not major tournaments. These are not cost of living increases this is the Tiger effect. Who would ever think we would see $3,000,000 appearance fees.
Now LIV lol
Now the first place at those tourneys are $3.7m!

Hope they upload all 81 of them, this man is a human highlight reel.
😁👍
I don't particularly like golf, I just love watching Tiger. It's weird. Love the way he plays. Nobody plays it like him.

I will never get sick of watching Tiger as if it was only yesterday that he played
Curtis Strange was a hater. In Tiger's first PGA tour event, he openly scored him when he said he wanted a victory. "You'll learn" Curtis scoffed. Here, you can see how much it hurts him to admit that Tiger has done extremely well, and he still wanted to claim Lehman was the best player in the US. There was a lot jealousy and resistance to Tiger in the beginning, but I think what he did at Augusta in 97 was the nail in his critics coffins.
Yep
Didn't help that he was black. Guarentee they would have been more receptive of him if he looked like Jordan Spieth.

Well, that's weird. At 16:24, Lehman hits a shot from the 15th fairway, and a guy in the gallery says, "Go Baby Go." A few seconds later, Tiger hits from the 16th fairway, and the same guy says the same thing.
he was a time traveler
It's not real-time, but edited. Go baby go guy had time to get over there.
The way Tiger stuck that tee shot on 17 showed respect to Lehman. Tiger kept playing his normal game instead of just sidling to a careful par on the good fortune of Lehman's terrible tee shot.
He was aiming 25 right of the pin and he pulled it lol. The real accomplishment Tiger showed was his focus to just aim at the middle of the green in case he pulled it.
Lehman looked at that then put his head down, he looked totally dejected.
That's always been Tiger's aim.

Amazing player there will never be one like him
Tiger is unaffected by what the other golfers do. He was thinking birdie on that hole from the start and he stuck to his plan.
43:22 absolute chills! what a shot
Yeah, even then, him having that long to look at and think about a shot was a recipe for birdie. But still that shot in that weather was incredible.
One of his best
IIRC In his book, he described this as the "perfectly acceptable miss" as he had been pulling it throughout the day, so he lined up for the right, and his pull knocked it stiff.
Much appreciated videos...I always mute the commentary, such a negative undertone when it comes to this young tour pro (tiger woods)...in these videos I would like to see more tiger, less of the field...I am amazed when watching the prodigy known as tiger woods!!!
The money amounts they were playing for before Tiger... His economic impact over the decades must be in the trillions!
42:16.... classic Peter Alliss reply. The man was GOLD. RIP
I loved his commentary of Jean Van de Velde at the Open Championship in '99.
43:20 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
43:20 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s just....amazing

Heavy rain down there makes me want to quote that Albert Hammond song, but that song is just too sad a story.
The thing I love is young Tiger you can see the raw power and talent. After his injuries and years of struggling he learned to rely on his talent. Instead of just crushing it to a green he draws or cuts it almost every shot to pull them close to pin locations or around dog legs/bunker placement. He hits woods more and go into par 5s with irons instead of wedges. He really flipped his game. Very impressive to see

Geez Tiger is so technical when he is interviewed.like he was born to golf.amazing
When he was a teen, his dad also taught him how to interact with the media, and how to not let Fuzzy Zoellers sidetrack him.
1:50 pretty impressive that he knows it’s going in when he landed it, difficult as it was, an instant before the gallery caught on.
That drive from Tiger on the playoff hole was a whole bunch of exclamation points.
Lehman water. Commentator at 42:08 .... and Tiger hits it 5 inches from the pin!

46:13…Lehman almost jars his 3rd shot, which would have put a lot of pressure on Tiger to make that putt….;)
Haha
Look at Finchem in the background during the winners interview...what a sh*t eating grin he has, and I would too if I was the commish!
43:30 min, looks like his mother Tida in the back, wishing it in the hole.
Just the craziest thing I was just swimming around in my dad when this happened
Tiger 🐯 in his prime just stunning ♥️
Back in the day when male golfers (and guys in general) wore sensibly-cut trousers. Not like the BS skinny-legged stuff we see now - how the heck do they play golf wearing that nonsense ? Must be made of pretty flexible material, I suppose ...
Jeez gramps fashion changes. Nothing is wron with slim flit athletic pants.
@@azieldaly2965 Yep, I get it - but on the course isn't it more about how well you play rather than how your clothes fit into the current fashions ?
Was this before Augusta ?
The best n the world!!!
If you watch very carefully it’s similar to Greg Norman before he changed it
I can tell you the most humble person and the most competitive golfer that has ever played the game.. I just love him
43:37 That'll do
43:26
Id love to have some of that vintage Nike gear Tiger is rockin
Very good play who knows you be doing it again the tiniest best win again thank you
Battled payne for the win at Disney and daggerd Lehman at the Mercedes
I remember watching this like it was yesterday.

Tiger’s golf swing = a thing of beauty
i didn't know his caddie once had a beard

That was Mike “Fluff” Cowan, TW’s caddie for the 96-98 seasons before he got Steve Williams.
Curtis...was an original Tiger hater.
Tiger woods, the best n the world!!!
Tom plays(ed) a natural draw which it is easy for a baby draw to become baby hook before you get fully warmed up.
Surprised he didn't play further right. Sure there was a bunker, but playing for par wouldn't be terrible.
That playoff shot was unreal....
Curtis.😨😨😨🤤🤤🤤😂😂😂😂😂
Lol omg what a shot on the playoff
38:00 good ole butch knows
