Phil Mickelson vs Ernie Els at Golf del Sur | 1995 Shell's Wonderful World of Golf 

Seriously dude. The possibilities of matchups are endless. Would be amazing.

They should pair the ripe Jack Nicklaus with some random guy today

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 RU-vid 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.

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👍👍👍

really!!

The flight on that ball was absolutely disgusting, that balloon shot to have it land just soft enough... man. only Phil can do that.

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 know!!

Theyd have to play with winnings of 1 million for winner, half million for loser.

not really, when I played the course I made par on the 220yard par three (5wood)LOL

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

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.

Rod Smith sorry 94 but yea the rest is the same

For real, like tone it down dude we're just here to enjoy some golf

The sad part is Ernie already won the u.s. open at this point and Phil still doesn't have one.

23 year difference and you forgot Tiger was one of the reasons why more sponsors, viewers, and attendance went up.

@@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.

Uphill and probably into the wind.

@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.

Filthy

that FLOP shot tho!

Jim Cheseborough Legen...wait for it...DARY

Agree 100%

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

@@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.

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😂
