PGA Tour... please bring back a show similar to this. The player pool is ridiculously deep to pick and match up from. Even if you didn’t get A list players you could have awesome matchups. Also, there are incredible golf courses out there to showcase and bring attention to. This show has to come back
Unfortunately I think the main part of the charm and appeal is the class and simplicity, very little advertising or promotional stuff going on, the crowds are smaller and more respectable and the whole thing is just toned down in general. Modern golf wouldn't suit this format at all unless it was done by a private enthusiast for a TH-cam channel, or something similar, as the focus needs to be on the passion for golf which modern day companies will ignore in favour of making a few extra pounds. I agree that if someone could capture the essence of this fantastic program it would be worth televising without a doubt, however, I think, in an effort to try to be "cool" or profitable the magic would be lost.
My favourite show growing up ,I remember mum saying go to bed as it was televised late at night in New Zealand,that was in the early 60s,a great era to live in for sure ❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍
Same could be said for Phil too- just plain bad luck of running mostly parallel with Tiger’s career timeline. Not many windows of opportunity during Tiger’s utter dominance.
Thanks for the great content PGA Tour TH-cam! There’s a Shells match between Phil and Tom Lehman a few years after this. It would be great to watch that one if you can post it up. Love the old footage of Phil’s smooth swing before he became obsessed with distance.
Ive played this course haha, surprised they didnt use Seve's course Buenovista in the north of the island, much more spectacular! I love these shows, Shell should bring them back!
Phil's jabby putting was a trainwreck in this match, as it tends to be more often than not IMO. It's palpable how much of a struggle he was having that day, while Ernie just played his game and took what came to him. Oh, how the "Wonderful World of Golf" connotes so much pain and pleasure all wrapped up in one. Not so "wonderful" on this windy day. But great show, nonetheless! Love all of these episodes.
@@chezchezchezchez I played there in 2005 I think, however, I first saw it a few years before this match, in 1991, o holiday, my father played there and I walked around the course with him
ABC’s Wide World of Sports (one of the few sports anthology series *more* famous than Shell’s Wonderful World of Golf) brought back the series in 1994, and it was later continued by the Comcast-owned Golf Channel in the late 90s and early 2000s. Golf Channel also reaired some of the ABC episodes from the mid 90s in the early 2000s, which they redid with their own graphics. This is an episode that wasn’t reaired later on the Golf Channel - or, if it was, then this is the unedited ABC copy, as it uses ABC’s graphics from the mid-1990s.
Shell's Wonderful World of Golf was brought back in 1994. April 9th - Fred Couples vs. Raymond Floyd, April 30th -Jack Nicklaus vs. Arnold Palmer, July 16th - Nick Faldo vs. Greg Norman.
Interesting watching this footage from '95 and realizing Tiger wins the Masters two years later. Then in 2000, Ernie finishes second in 3 majors behind Tiger.
@@taimaster612 23 years difference that I forgot tiger was the one that brought such attention to this great game? I don't think I said that anywhere so how did I forget? I just pointed out athletes in general are getting paid ridiculous amounts of money. And just the drastic change in pay in general even if you account for all factors.
@W Jack You're right about club angles but what you're saying isn't valid at this stage of golf progression. The Iron angles were standardized in late 1990's and have stayed static since then. The significant changes date back to the 60s far before a tournament like this. 1995 9 iron is 41 degrees 2020 41, 5 iron also the same. It's partially about the club face surface and much more about club head speed training. If you see Daly hit the ball at this time or earlier his yardage will match today's distances. There is an exhibition match between Daly and Couples recently posted on this channel hes 2 clubs less on every shot and still out distancing Couples. he was an anomaly in swinging so fast but it has become the norm today. For every club higher you can hit, your angle of approach gets steeper and your odds of greens hit accurately goes up, forces the pros to train that way to beat the field. I would argue the single most impactful change to the sport to create this evolution is simple, Tiger, he proved this advantage wins tournaments.
That Rolex was a GMT Master II ref 16710 Coke bezel. That reference goes for around $10-20k today depending on condition. That specific watch, the actual one given to the winner, is probably worth more than the total prize pool of this match adjusting for inflation assuming it's providence can be demonstrated.
Those greens probably had a ton of grain in them, Phil really struggled. Ernie being from south Africa would definitely had been less putt off by the grainy greens
Everyone talking about bringing these matches back. These guys don't get out of bed unless they are getting paid 100K now nevermind appearing on a TV show. Tiger vs Phil? That will cost you 10 million.
Ringing a bell on the golf course to let the group behind hit their tee shots, I thought Golf was supposed to be a quiet walk in the park interrupted by a little white ball. It can’t be quiet if your ringing a bell. Whoever thought that up, you need to remove it from the course. Use binoculars or a range finders. Have spotters to help with greens being cleared, then relay it to the tee box with radio, telephone or some message system, not a bell. They should be fired whoever thought of it.
You realize that’s how they do it in Scotland, the home of golf? My local muni uses a stoplight, which makes no noise but is far more garish than a classy bell
4:00 "The two best young players in the world of golf today." Hmmmmm maybe. At the time, there WAS this 19-year old amateur from California who was pretty good...Well, OK, let's let Phil and Ernie have their day in the sun, er, wind.
Chris Morfas I know what you mean, but Els already had a major at this point and Mickleson had been winning on the main tour since 91. Woods was still relatively unknown outside of the states and didn't even turn pro until the following year.
@@Kaptainrdean Right! Rolfing's statement is certainly defensible. Still, even given Ernie and Phil's vastly greater experience and accomplishment to-date, had they actually played a threesome that day, wouldn't Tiger have stood an equal chance of winning? It's a fun hypothetical, isn't it? "Joining Phil and Ernie today in this match to determine the world's best young golfer is the reigning US Amateur champion"...would have been a blast to watch!
Chris Morfas Over 18 holes, yes a pretty even chance for sure! I don't know if they had seen much of Tiger at that point, but I'm sure they would have shared a few glances at one another when he showed his stuff. A very fun hypothetical as you say.
In 1995 on the PGA Tour Tiger: Masters Tournament T41, U.S. Open Championship W/D, Motorola Western Open T57, The Open Championship T68 Phil: 24 events, one win, four top 10's, 9 top 25's Ernie: 18 events, one win, six top 10's, 10 top 25's

Seriously dude. The possibilities of matchups are endless. Would be amazing.
They should pair the ripe Jack Nicklaus with some random guy today

with another name. something like „teslas wonderful world of golf“
We really appreciate these oldies but goodies. Phil n Els are both many years older than me but I love these videos👍👍👍
Good Lord do I ever miss the 90's 😭
Didn’t think this would hold my attention but I watched every stroke. Great programming. Wish they still did these. Els remarkable in trouble.
This so much better than watching professional golfers play video games. Great content PGA tour.
Yes keep releasing these! Love them
really!!
My favourite show growing up ,I remember mum saying go to bed as it was televised late at night in New Zealand,that was in the early 60s,a great era to live in for sure ❤️👍❤️👍❤️👍
This video is so wholesome. I miss the 90s
That shot at 19:00, absolutely beautiful
The flight on that ball was absolutely disgusting, that balloon shot to have it land just soft enough... man. only Phil can do that.
Please upload Raymond Floyd vs Fred Couples playing at the Casa De Campo (teeth of the dog) in Dominican Republic back in 1994.
Ernie explaining the LBW law was a particular highlight.
Ernie...one of the greatest swings ever. Love his game so much. If he had played in a different time than Tiger’s prime, he’d have 8+ majors.
He would definitely have more that’s for sure
Same could be said for Phil too- just plain bad luck of running mostly parallel with Tiger’s career timeline. Not many windows of opportunity during Tiger’s utter dominance.
I love watching golf with my ads thanks pga tour
Young Ernie & Phil talking cricket, just awesome.
I was there ⛳️ with the #legends great memories 👍🏽
Estuve allí con las #leyendas vaya recuerdos 👍🏽
Thanks a lot and best regards from Tenerife.
Weird seeing guys play without hats lol And Ernie, that swing, gold-
Can we bring this back please!!!
I know!!
Theyd have to play with winnings of 1 million for winner, half million for loser.
Wow - never realized Ernie was so much longer than Mickelson, off the tee. On most of the drives he seemed to be 70 or even 80 yards past Mickelson.
Thanks for the great content PGA Tour TH-cam! There’s a Shells match between Phil and Tom Lehman a few years after this. It would be great to watch that one if you can post it up. Love the old footage of Phil’s smooth swing before he became obsessed with distance.
It's always great to run across one of these matches!
Ive played this course haha, surprised they didnt use Seve's course Buenovista in the north of the island, much more spectacular! I love these shows, Shell should bring them back!
That close up shot of Phil’s putter grip is so sick!
Please upload more of these! Watched all 3 of them today and was disappointed to see there aren't any more.

Golf and a history lesson, always loved these especially the old bobby jones ones
Golf Del Sur is a great course. Was the first golf course I ever played overseas on a golfing holiday.
When?
@@chezchezchezchez I played there in 2005 I think, however, I first saw it a few years before this match, in 1991, o holiday, my father played there and I walked around the course with him
Jamie Ross Thanks!
I think i only just broke 90 when I played here
Love the vintage !

Rod Smith sorry 94 but yea the rest is the same
These 2 are world class 👏
not really, when I played the course I made par on the 220yard par three (5wood)LOL
Keep them coming
They most definitely need to bring these back
Interesting watching this footage from '95 and realizing Tiger wins the Masters two years later. Then in 2000, Ernie finishes second in 3 majors behind Tiger.
The sad part is Ernie already won the u.s. open at this point and Phil still doesn't have one.
Hopefully we'll get to see Phil and Ernie battle it out on the back nine on Sunday on the Champions Tour.
Love these!!!
@pgatour why does FedEx not have these after the cup?
Awesome stuff! Can we get the Phil vs David Toms match next?
Phil’s hair never fails😂
Phil vs Ernie 1995 total $150,000 prize.
Phil vs Tiger 2018 9 million to the winner.
23 year difference and you forgot Tiger was one of the reasons why more sponsors, viewers, and attendance went up.

If only Tiger and Vijay could have been on here together. Just to have Tiger Woods on the show one time would have been great.
Love Ernie explaining cricket to Phil!!
hola la verdad excelente video lo disfrute ansioso de el proximo grabación me despido les envio besitos muchas gracias
MORE please!
What putter is Phil using here?
Nice trophy. A brand new Rolex and 100.000 cash? Wow nice
the face for ernie els on the scorecard kills me. They couldn't have chosen a better picture Lmao
46:36 what a shot
crazy to think sam snead versus jack nick prize pool was $2000 for 1st and $1000 for 2nd in 1963
12:41 182 yards - 3 iron. Today that would be a 7 or 6...
Uphill and probably into the wind.

That commentator was hating on Phil towards the end man lol
For real, like tone it down dude we're just here to enjoy some golf

Driver heads were so small. I feel like we are at an advantage now a days with these oversized and forgiving heads.
Those greens probably had a ton of grain in them, Phil really struggled. Ernie being from south Africa would definitely had been less putt off by the grainy greens
Yes love to see Ernie 🇿🇦
Made me laugh when the presenter forgot Ernie Els name and just called him thingy 😂
Classic Phil. Whoa ball stop gosh darn it
More please.
Damn, Phil with 36 putts. Looking like me out there.
39:48 Phil Mickelston has entered the tournament.
I really wanted to watch this. But I honestly can't justify the 15 adverts in this 1 hour video. 15???
I love Phil's putter
Phil goes at it much harder these days... Both lads looking trim.
buenas la verdad muy bueno video me encanto espero el siguiente éxito me despido les dejo cariños agradecido
Wouldn’t be a golf match if Phil didn’t have to consult the rules official
Everyone talking about bringing these matches back. These guys don't get out of bed unless they are getting paid 100K now nevermind appearing on a TV show. Tiger vs Phil? That will cost you 10 million.
19:08 I watched this like 12 times
Phil’s putting on this was a foreshadowing. Still love the guy, but this so his putting today
that FLOP shot tho!
Jim Cheseborough Legen...wait for it...DARY
Agree 100%
46:36 best shot of the round
Why don’t they still do this?
I wonder how developed young Phil’s calves were at this point in time?
two of the games greats but dont forget David Guildford.
I love how commentators give the players such a hard time. They wish they could play this kinda golf🤷♂️
Gosh darn it Phil...
This gave me a longing for a better life.
Nicklaus Palmer 2001 at king and bear please!!!

@@TheLocalLt They should change it. What if someone is putting or hitting a shot and the bell goes off.
@@TheLocalLt They need to develop a new technology instead of a bell.
Gosh darn gee wiz :3
bro... but the shot at 19:06 though...
anyone else getting ads like every 2 minutes?
Maybe LIV will put something like this on!
Nicklaus and Palmer 2001 please !!!
Would be awesome to see those Wendy's 3 Tour Challenges too
Way too many ads in this video
161 yard 5 iron short ?
Theyre both young fresh faced kids here haha, 28 years ago wow. That prize money was comical lol.
Ah yes... the great Phil Mickleston!
OMG....he’s still a whiner who can’t putt under pressure. The best thing about Phil, is his wife. A real doll.
@@aprillovesgolf7042 I was referring to the way the commentator pronounced his name - he added a ‘t’ in😂
1391 pga tour Title
1390 pga tour Title
Ernie would have been so much more known if it wasn’t for tiger causing him to get 2nd place
19:08 you're welcome
No way he hit 7 iron with his approach on 1 from 134 out. 6:50
Crikey 1995 wasn't that long ago but this looks like Pollyanna compared to 2021
1371 pga tour Title
