I met Tom at a senior event. I was a Marshall and there was a pause in play and he walked right over to me to start up a conversation. I did many events in my years and he is the only pro to ever do this.
What an absolute waste of 8+minutes. No actual audio of Tom or anyone else associated with him. You've done no service at all to Mr. Kite, the game of golf, or the viewers. Just stop.
In 2001 when Tom was around 50 he shot a 64 in the final round of the US Open, then a week later almost won on the Sr. Tour. This video is complete bs. Tom never lost his way after his open victory.
@MrZola1234 Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. It's always great to have a community that loves to discuss golf topics. Your support means a lot 🙏
Tom’s mother was a resident in the same nursing home as my mother in Midland, Texas. We had good visits about Tom and their early days in Oak Cliff (Dallas). I think Tom still holds the course record on the very difficult Ram Rock course at the Horseshoe Bay resort. They formerly hosted the Texas Open.

I remember the first time I saw Tom Kite. Greensboro Open. He as hitting a3 wood on practice range. His caddie was out there where the ball should land. He did not move more that 10 yards either way! We all know golf is a very hard game.
I took my 8 year old daughter to her first golf event, a Senior Tour event at my home club NBCC. We were in a room alone when Tom Kite walked in and my daughter took a golf ball over to him and asked him if he'd sign it . He scolded "no, I don't sign autographs they get sold over the internet" and he turned his back and left leaving her with tears in her eyes. Moments later we bumped into John Jacobs and John Daly who couldn't have been kinder to her and signed golf balls galore for her. When I got home that evening I looked up what his signed golfball sells for on eBay, it was $10. So a guy who has the privilege of making millions of dollars a year playing golf says "no' to signing an autograph to young child because he's worried about it possibly being sold for $10. I always thought he was an a**hole after that.
@@guidofawkes5679 interesting name, are you a history buff? anayway, i have an autographed john jacobs ball as part of a collection that was sold from a senior living center for maybe $10. there was also a signed jack nicklaus ball as part of it. i think my brother paid $5 or $10 for about 20 balls . mainly logo balls from resort courses some guy must have visited
@andrewquinn6634 Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts. It's always great to have a community that loves to discuss golf topics. Your support means a lot 🙏
I think it was 1986 ? At the Firestone CC in Akron, Ohio in the practice round he called me over to walk with him on a hole, and just remembered he was so down to earth and one of the nicest guys you could meet
Team sports pressure enough but that being on your own "out there" I wonder how many more golfers, bowlers, track & field types similar to Mr Kite's, Good on him for discussing it.
I think Tom Kite was too much of a champion caliper golfer to get sidelined by so-called mental pressure. He competed against Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Greg Norman, Seve Ballesteros, and other top-tier players, and IMHO had a pretty good to great run. This video comes across like a slam job to me. I wouldn't think Mr. Kite would approve.
Thank you for your feedback. We have no issues with them at all. We are currently focusing on posts about the negatives in players' careers because it seems that people would rather watch negative or controversial moments over the positive ones. This does not discredit or diminish their careers in any way.
It is a sad truth that people prefer the negative to the positive. But it is another truth that people would prefer to read something that didn't have duplication repetition and verbose coverage of the self-evident. And I'm not sure I need to take life's philosophies from those that seek to benefit from coverage of the negative. I strongly suggest you take a course in writing. 101 would help.
You folks really need to focus on putting your 2-minute message into 2-minute videos. But wait...I would add at least one more minute to actually draw an interesting and convincing conclusion.
I met Tom Kite years ago and when he wasn't looking I attached some string to him and he shot up into the air! I swear it's true ok. He was brilliant at golf too
I interacted with Tom Kite at the US Open at Southern Hills CC in, I believe, 2001 - I was a volunteer. He was a Dick - never was any player as disrespectful of the volunteers as him. Great player. Bad person.

Next speculation...David Duval. After winning his British Open, it was downhill from then. Kite was the Captain in Tiger's debut in Ryder Cup in 1997 where he lost to Roca, the first of 21 losses in Ryder. He has had an unremarkable performance in Ryder Cup with just 13 wins despite his lofty individual performance. Not much of a team player.

Spoiler alert: he suffered clinical depression after he won a major. Don't waste your time sitting through the whole 8 minutes; it's hyperbolic & unenlightening.
What a terrible video. To suggest that Tom went into an inexplicable career slump after his US Open victory is daft. He was 42, in the 20th year of his distinguished professional career, an age where we expect most pros to be beyond their peak. Anno Domini takes it's toll. He won twice on the PGA tour in the following season. A more interesting video would be one that explores why he did not win a major earlier in his career and how he came to major triumph at such a relatively late age.

Thanks for speaking for 7 minutes longer than needed. The repeated use of words and phrases to describe Tom’s career and the buildup to the reveal at the end of the video was maddening. Insulting, actually if your claim is true. Plus, as others have mentioned Tom didn’t speak at all to his own personal demons if again the claim is true about his depression. Shame on the creator of this video. I remember Tom as a golfer who played above his ability and who continued to improve each part of his game until he became a champion. Thanks for an utterly awful video.
This sounds like the same B.S. that was posted recently by somebody called Ace Icons I believe. All fluff and no substance. You guys are pathetic in your "insights". Give it up!

This is what this account does. Pure tabloid clickbait, over and over.
Correct, Kite never had a real decline, either. He did well on the Senior Tour..So he was crazy, big deal! :)
These are lazy AI created videos and audio. I hate it.
In 2001 when Tom was around 50 he shot a 64 in the final round of the US Open, then a week later almost won on the Sr. Tour. This video is complete bs. Tom never lost his way after his open victory.
Tom Kite, for a decade anytime you turned on the tour, he'd be on the leaderboard.

Tom was always a jerk. He did a lot of these things. I saw him at Oak Hill and he would't speak to anyone.
Go to 6:30 to find out the reason they give for his downslide.
Tom Kite is probably the most consistent golfer of all time.

The chopped up commentary is only secondarily annoying to taking a 2-minute story and dragging it out to 8 minutes.

Bullshit
Voice over guy needs to expand his vocabulary, must have used the words "unwavering" "steadfast" and "meticulous" 1000 times at least.
so where is the link to this revealing revelation of Tom Kite by himself????
I met Tom Kite years ago and when he wasn't looking I attached some string to him and he shot up into the air! I swear it's true ok. He was brilliant at golf too
A picture of Crenshaw that is supposed to be Tom? Sloppy.
I interacted with Tom Kite at the US Open at Southern Hills CC in, I believe, 2001 - I was a volunteer. He was a Dick - never was any player as disrespectful of the volunteers as him. Great player. Bad person.
Synopsis: The video claims that Kite was depressed by the pressure to succeed which caused his game to decline.
Tom missed a relatively easy putt that would have tied him with Jack Nicklaus at the 86 Masrers
remember that well
Nothing here of value.
I get tired of you people getting TH-cam clicks based on trashing famous golfers. This trash is not worth watching.

Not much to reveal. Duval's career was sabotaged by injuries. When healthy, Duval was as good as anybody, even Tiger.
Damn! He’s hard on the eyes for sure. He hit every ugly branch on the way down.
So where is the surprise? Every Golfer has the right to sign it not sign Autographs..mostly for good reason.
Blah. Blah, blah you took a 3 minute story and turned it into a word salad!
He wasn't as slow as Langer.....Langer was ridiculous
Yeah they just had a documentary on Tom Watson as well. He is living with severe depression since his wife passed.
All this video does is repeat itself over and over again. Don’t waste your time watching this.
OMG. What a diatribe of nothing. Enough to make anyone depressed watching this rubbish.
He's also legally blind.

6:20 title content. Kite had depression
