- David Feherty tells a funny story about a spectacualr shot that Tiger Woods hit. Tigers ball was in wet, nasty, horrible, six inch rough. Truly buried, and 190 yards away from the hole. Everybody figures that with a stick of dynamite he might be able to move the ball 50 yards... What does he do? Something that only Tiger can do - he nukes a pitching wedge 6 feet from the hole! One of the most extraordinary shots i have ever seen! And i know for a fact that what Ernie Els said (the part that has been censored) was "F*ck me! Did you see that??"... :)
The force and speed of that swing is insane. Young Tiger was absolutely something to behold.
Yeah, that's not in any instruction manual. lol
Tiger's look at 1:06 is what i miss most...combination of determination, confidence and being a boss!
Neeeno27 and fuggin bitches
"Oh noooo.... he did it again....."
Take a shot every time you've had that thought with a ridiculous Tiger shot.
a cubic yard of ohio lol, david feherty is hilarious
And I don't care what people say about David Feherty. He's known more for his broadcasting than his golf career but I think he's awesome. Really don't know why so many hate him.
+DarkLight753 people hate him? why the fuck would they do that? thought he was beloved by the public.
we americans love him. but he's not well liked back in the UK from what I have heard.
He's got some issues upstairs and has been candid about it. Stuck up golf fans tend to ignorantly judge him, I think he's one of the best broadcasters with a quirky flare and natural ability to be entertaining... not sure either.
speak for yourself
Feherty is awesome and a gift for the golf world.
I could not give a FLYING FUCK about Tigers OFF course antics!!.... These videos are about Wood's sublime control and play of this game!.....This guy is the greatest golfer who has ever lived...........I have seen ALL the greats LIVE from 1973 onwards who came and played here in Australia....Player, Nicklaus, Trevino, Watson, ETC, etc, etc....Tiger Woods is the GREATEST that ever was!...This guy pulls shots out of his ASRE...when they are needed... to win!!!............the ONLY guy who comes close to Woods in that regard is Bobby Tyre Jones Jnr.....The GREATEST Amateur golfer this world has or ever will know!!!.......3RD ...Jack Nicklaus................So those who want to bring Personal/ Moralistic/ Non Golf...... CRAP......into these comments......FLUCK OFF!
+Paul EJ That's a matter of opinion Paul, well here's mine, MOE NORMAN would be Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Tiger Woods and every other pga tour pro in history playing MATCH PLAY or STROKE PLAY, PERIOD! Tiger Woods had the strongest mind in pga tour history(if you don't include Moe Norman), BUT MOE NORMAN HAD THE STRONGEST MIND IN GOLF PERIOD, he NEVER got in his own way, Tiger had a few moments in his career in his prime WHERE HE GOT IN HIS OWN WAY. So, I agree that Tiger Woods is better than Jack and all of those players, but he's 2nd on my list, Moe Norman is the greatest golfer that ever live period, the only golfer who understood HOW to get to impact the same time after time, never had a problem with his swing, but Tiger, Jack, and everyone else did. History doesn't lie.
+bumrusherer1985 Totally agree.
I'm sure people might laugh at this but, the other player that had an incredible mind to go with absolute natural talent, just letting Physics and Gravity totally control his own swing, and he hit it great everytime with ZERO PRACTICE, and people even like Sam Snead and Byron Nelson wouldn't even dare to play him one on one 18 holes of stroke play and match play, he went by the nickname of "COUNT YOGI", i believe his real name was HILARY FRACKENBURG or something like that. Count Yogi did some incredible things. I would have loved to see MOE NORMAN and COUNT YOGI play each other, what a match that would have been.
Ditto. Though I must add if there was at any time a player who dominated the game in a given season, it was Lord Byron in 1945. Yes, some pros were overseas finishing with WW2, but you still had a few of the greatest golfers ever playing that season. By current day standards, Nelson would have won more money in a season than any other player. What a year it was.
Put your knee pads on dude, you're gunna need em!
Only Tiger. Best husband or not, that man plays some f*****g golf.
Feherty is the best golf broadcaster EVER. period
190 yards with the wedge. Like my name JUST WOW
go to hell
190 with a wedge 😤😂😤thats the equvilent to a TYSON right hook 😬
Have missed Tiger's brand of all mighty Golfing prowess. These shots remind us that no one on Earth, present or past, is capable of playing these shots. I dont know, maybe combine Dustin Johnson with Ben Hogan or Lee Trevino and you might get someone close. Need a 3rd perhaps, Nicklaus's drive and even then was there someone with better course management? Those periods in the 2000s where his win ratio was above 25%, where he didnt miss a cut about for about 150 events were the best Golf ever, filled with these shots as if they were a dime a dozen. We took it for granted, and I guess so did he.
He's baaaackkkkk!!!
Jesus Christ! I sometimes forget how hard Tiger could swing. No wonder his knees and back are hurting.
“It just isn’t a fair fight”. Best quote ever about TW.
my favorite too. that 7 iron on 6 at pebble beach
second place was +3. First place was 12 under.
That was extraordinary. 190 yards from deep rough with a wedge!
@seanaudi13 The average tour pro hits their pitching wedge around 135-140yd with 145-155yd as an extreme on tour. 190yd alone is remarkable, but tiger also plays weak lofted (traditional lofted) irons so his pw is actually around 51 degrees which is typically a gap wedge. I have no idea what kind of golf monster you are but I have a club head speed of 121mph driver and 110mph 7iron on trackman, play to a 0.6 hdcp and still don't believe I could get that kind of distance even with a flyer lie.
(1:32 - 1:35) If you watch Feherty''s mouth and say, "No f*ucking way!" It matches up precisely. It's three words and it definitely looks like the last word was "way"!
Wrong, he says "What the F*CK was that!" Go and watch the the round you can even hear it on old archives of the round posted around online.
@@matthimelfarb1268 Matt, "no fucking way" Feherty said "What the Fuck was that!" Forget the actual words just watch his mouth, there is NO WAY Feherty says 5 syllables there! Not a chance. Slow it down if you need to but it wasn't WTFWT!
I love when Tiger looks like Hells gates before he takes hits shots, focused and determined totally in the moment and then once he does what he set out to do he smiles and laughs like the biggest golf fan out there.
Tiger is well known for his endurance length practice sessions starting as a kid and continuing into his career. He intentionally played from the worst lies in order to be able to make the most of them. It is unfortunate that his incredible work ethic has worn his body down.
His training hasn’t always been very intelligent, nobody knew it at the time. Though as the old saying goes: “We get old too soon and smart too late.”
Re nalderto
Tiger probably hit a flyer (It is called a flyer which implies the extra length you get when grass gets between the blade and the ball on impact).
He said #uck me did you see that!!. 😨😨
Tiger might have lost his touch lately but you gotta admit that was a hell of a shot. Thought his wedge was gonna land in the bunker 2 holes down lol.
1:07 eye of the tiger
"A cubic yard of Ohio" lmfao
Ahia
190 yard pitching wedge in almost unplayable rough.... smh, i cant even hit my 4i off the tee that far. fml
boneezy it's not that hard to do, you just have to swing the club as hard as you possibly can and add 15% more to it. Don't worry about your back because 5 short years later you can have multiple surgeries to fix what you F'ed up from swinging that hard.
lose the 4 iron
U just gotta find ur tempo n swing n work on it
Not too many people probably thought about how bad this was on his knee, it looks like every ounce of force his body generated went directly into that knee.
his knee problems came from his military style training, jogging with weighted vests. Killed his lower body.
David is the man !
I don't care who you are, that was FUNNY !!!
that look at 1.06 1.07 true tiger
as we saw during a couple holes last week, tiger can blow a drive past bubba if he pleases. but at no point in time could bubba ever put a full 4 iron 5 feet from the pin, or even sniff at tiger's short game. half the guys in the field could bust one out 300+ yards every time, but it's so inconsistent so what's the point?
Els: "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK"
*long, awkward pause*
Feherty: "Not much more you can say about that."
I believe he said, "No f*cking way!" I'm pretty sure the last word was "way"!
totally agree best golfer ever BAR NONE and no one will ever come close
Just luv David Feherty!!!!!
Might have been funny if what Ernie said had not been muted
it was definitely a wedge out of a juicy lie. It was also a flyer lie, with that swing speed, you could get the ball to go 200 yards...good luck ever getting that swing speed
I love his pirate-style facial hair.
love David Feherty.
that swing is why he's had several knee surgeries.
This is why Tiger has had so many surgeries and does not have the hip speed anymore!
His hip is shot from shagging all them white girls..
steroids
steroids
I'd say he's got plenty of speed these days
No hip speed? Seems he found it again.
heee's back!
Ernie Els may have said "F-me" but the look on Tiger's face after hitting that shot says: "F-you."
To the ball, not Ernie.
I believe he said, "No f*cking way!" I'm pretty sure the last word was "way"!
Ernie: "You gotta be fucking kidding me"
i think ernie said "a fuc**ng wedge!?"
haha
Can they run this tape in front of some type of simulator to tell us what his club head speed might be on that historical shot?
110-115 mph
I think Tiger throw his back out with that shot!
I want to know what Els said dammit!
read the description it will tell you.
did you f ing see that
I believe he said, "No f*cking way!" I'm pretty sure the last word was "way"!
why they blur the face ? cant read his lips.
My wedge goes 75 yards, I'd be hitting a 4 iron but not out of the tall stuff.
Did you now mean the one where they moved a boulder so he could advance the ball.
If you try this shot off a fairway lie, it's impossible. The SW launches too high to go 190. It would just start losing distance and go higher rather than further. If it's in the rough it will go further because it's going to launch out lower and be more of a boring trajectory that allows him to hit it further instead of higher. But I've seen Bubba Watson hit a PW a few yards shy of 200.
shots like that is why his knee hurts. crazy torque
This is an amazing shot but clearly a flyer
Be as good as Tiger by using Golf Kinetics, it's for real, give it a chance!!
no I thought earnie els said 'F*** me' :D ridiculous shot
Wedge? He hit a wedge? I remember that shot... and no one else could hit that but Tiger.
Tiger was playing with Phil this round. I wonder if David's memory was a tad off.
I thought that too, but there's a good video. Search 2000 WGC NEC golf - fun with Tiger and Phil. It shows them playing the hole.
The GOAT!
what'd he say?
wow, wedge 190 yards, not hard? You do realize the average golfer hit PW about 110 yards.
I guess that's just because he swung really hard. or maybe he just figured his left leg wasn't injured enough already.
Feherty mixed up 2 stories: Tiger played together with Phil in Firestone when he made the shot Dave is talking about. You can watch the complete movie under „2000 WGC NEC golf - fun with Tiger and Phil“. Ernie‘s reaction instead was to a totally different shot: watch „Tiger Woods favourite shot“ at Hazeltine out of a bunker were he played with Ernie
I'm trying to figure out what actually happened and when. I've probably spent WAY too much time on this inconsequential matter...but now I'm invested.
You are absolutely correct that the wedge out of the thick rough was at the 2000 NEC, and that Tiger was playing with Phil. It was the third round, and Tiger and Phil finished the second round in first and second place, respectively, so they were paired together for the third round. Their drives on 18 were about a yard apart in the rough and there is video of Phil hitting his shot before Tiger, which came up a little short. So, Tiger was definitely not playing with Els.
Els would have been playing about 5 pairings ahead of Tiger and Phil based on where he finished after round 2, so it's possible that Els finished his round and was just hanging with Feherty on the last hole. (I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but the entire field was 37 players, which is obviously very small. Maybe that smaller field makes for a more intimate/relaxed event where another player like Els would be more likely to go back out on to the course hang with Feherty...just a thought; the size of the event may have been irrelevant.) So, it's possible that Els was there with Feherty and made that comment, even though he was not Tiger's playing partner.
In addition, this article from 2020 claims that it was Els who made the comment: www.nationalclubgolfer.com/news/tiger-woods-greatest-shot. It's based on Gary McCord's second-hand recollection of what occurred based off of what Feherty had told him (McCord was at the tournament, but didn't see the shot himself).
This 2016 article, golfweek.usatoday.com/2016/12/07/ernie-els-recalls-best-shot-ever-saw-tiger-woods-hit, is supposedly based on Els' first-hand recollection. However, I think the accuracy of the article must be considered suspect, because it is clear that Els was not Tiger's playing partner.
This 2011 article also claims Els was the playing partner, based on Feherty's story: www.yourgolftravel.com/19th-hole/tigers-top-ten-shots.
On the other hand, Tiger personally tells the story of the shot from the bunker at the 2002 PGA Championship at Hazeltine here: www.cbssports.com/golf/news/tiger-woods-reminisces-about-greatest-feeling-shot-from-nearly-two-decades-ago-at-pga-championship. This includes the detail that after the shot from the bunker, he holed the put, and Els flipped him off. This makes it seem like this could have been when Els swore, but I couldn't definitively put Feherty on the course with Tiger and Els.
So, it is clear that there is misinformation out there about this story, and I cannot tell where the truth lies. I do know that it really didn't matter what kind of lies Tiger had back then...that was a special time.
This happened at the 18th on a Saturday during the 3rd round at Firestone while playing with Ernie Els. Just as Feherty and McCord said.
Do u c the look on his face after he hits the shot, when that look is back he will be back
Wonderful.
9 iron is considered a wedge to some.
You don't know Tiger very well. He agrees.
Ernie said "THAT WAS FUCKING GREAT!!!"
THANK YOU
so he had a sand wedge and hit 190 yards?
and that's why he has had knee issues....
tiger fucking did a lot of things
SO MUCH POWER!
Id like to see Rory McIlroy pull off that shot..
if you flip upside down tiger woods ranking you get his ex wife's networth
i thought he said "no fucking way"
1:32 "F- me..."
Probably not tigers favourite shot. Wink
no question why Tiger has had problems with that knee huh?
I don't watch golf. Give me a moment of silence now.
ye with there strong lofted shovel improvement irons lol
190 yards with a PW...Fuck me..
well, to be honest, I doubt that david feherty would lie about this, so everything he says is most likely true. but I can tell you that was not 6-inch rough, and was not buried, but he had a flyer lie, which tiger recognized, hence the less club
and my username is "wogolfer" so id have to say yes, i do play golf. good call there.
so typical for the golf channel to bleep out the entire sentence, what a bunch of prudes
wat did ernie say?
if he had a flyer lie...y wud he need 2 hit it with his rite leg coming up of the ground then ?
what did ernie say? lol
shit golfers wedges are prob 40 degree 8 irons or some rubish thats probaly with angus is going on about lol
@LKskateNC don't worry they file down their clubs so a 5 is more like a 3 iron etc, they still get a lot more distance than your average golfer but not as much as you think...
lol Anyone else feel bad for Els?
and then he got knee surgery
i hit it 260 today and i'm 15
What? Inches?
wtf
he def didnt hit a pitching wedge, but still an amazing shot either way
lol wow
wooow
Hitting a PW that far isnt that difficult. Accuracy is nearly impossible for normal golfers swinging that hard though. That's pretty amazing.
I'm not a fan of Tiger. I like Phil Mickelson. Tiger is a bit of an asshat(bad attitude).
You should get high more often. It gave you a moment of clarity.
Lol
Pass the needle?
And swings like that are why Tiger can't make it through a golf tourney today without withdrawing from injury.
This comment aged poorly lol
Was Tiger juicing on performance enhancing drugs to make this superman shot? I wonder...
@imthesonofjorel You know how I know your gay? Because you post videos titled "sweetass drift" in your shit box of a car and favorite the video "Johann Pachelbel Canon Piano (George Winston)" along with "Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit)"
@k2skier1212 you know how i know your gay?
You are so blindly dedicated to Tiger you shame him and yourself.
Tool.
Wow you’re continuing aren’t ya? What a fool you are
