Hard to believe Ames is 55 now and won the Players Championship in that same year. I bet he wanted to forget that match, and the everyone just gets a reminder!
I think his other dig that's more ruthless is Stephen made some mistakes that gave me a few holes. Basically, I didn't have to drop anything out there at points lol
I remember this...the quote Ames made went out over the news wires like wild fire. Before the match started, everyone was curious how Tiger would respond and...boy-o-boy did he did respond. Although this video is just a snippet of Tiger's career, it captures just who he was in his prime. Tiger was probably the fiercest competitor I've ever seen. Michael Jordan may have been his only equal in all of history of professional athletics. Besides being the best of their era, what set both of them apart from generations of athletes is how the higher the heat, the better they performed...and they did it over and over and over. In this case, even though Stephen Ames tried to walk back his words immediately after they came out, it lit a fire under Tiger and what did he do? Made 7 birdies in 10 holes and set a record that still stands. Simply amazing. Just another feather in the cap of the greatest competitor I've ever seen in my 64 years of watching pro sports.
@@Nuggetsin4 what Ames said is quoted on screen at 2:08, so no twisting by Golf Channel. At 18:20, Tiger states in the post match interview in no uncertain terms that he used what Ames said as pre-match motivation, so I don't know what part of this video or my comment you think is misinformation, but it's all right here for anyone to see and judge for themselves.

HE GON LEARN TODAY! Lol what a match.. I wish I loved watching golf when I was a kid but it never captivated me like it has now. To have watched Tiger in his prime would've been a treat but I'm glad these matches are posted here for everyone to see.
Funny thing is Tiger was actually hitting it all over the world, Ames wasn't wrong really. Problem is Tiger hit it so far comparatively he was passed any trouble if he missed wide. He hit tons and tons of wedges from the rough but he was very much better with a wedge from the rough than anyone else with a 6-7 iron from the fairway.
I wonder what would have happened if you bring any modern player to back then. Tiger made the competition rise up to his level. While they still aren't quite to tiger's level, the competition today would absolutely curb stomp the competition that Tiger beat back then.
Even the opening statement from the interviewer is just twisting the knife in “Steve, I don’t even wanna call this a learning experience, it’s just an experience you wish you didn’t have.”
After the Match Play he finished tied 20th at the Ford Championship at Doral and tied 7th at The Honda Classic before winning The Players Championship by six shots over Retief Goosen.
You don’t tug on Superman’s cape, you don’t spit into the wind, you don’t pull the mask off the ol Lone Ranger, and you definitely don’t shoot your mouth off 24 hours before playing the 🐐....
Tyler Stanley In match play it goes by winning holes instead of strokes. In this match Tiger won 9&8 because he won all 9 nine holes through the front 9 which is enough to win because there’s only 18 holes and after 10 holes are complete, there’s not enough for his opponent to tie. That’s what it means.
The 2005 event was a rain-filled affair, Tiger may not have been fully mentally engaged, he would usually either win the match play or be knocked out in the first round anyway. Some of his best seasons he was knocked out of the match play early, yet his worst season, 2004, he won it. Actually that whole 05 west coast swing was rain-filled, the match play was coming off the heels of riviera which had to be shortened to 36 holes due to constant rain and Torrey pines (which tiger won, despite fanning his approach at 18 and later getting into a press beef with nick faldo over his commentary) which featured a lengthy fog delay. Tiger played in both of those prior events as well, and he may have been ready to get to Florida, where he would immediately win the next week at Doral over Phil in one of the greatest non-majors of all time. In 07 I’m not sure what happened, but he didn’t really seem engaged either, which as I said earlier was typical of tiger some years at the match play
Colin Montgomery suffered a similar fate at the 1997 Augusta Masters at Tiger's hands after 'popping off' to the press about his advantages over Tiger! Both got Karma payback from the golf gods and got comprehensively beat. Deflation season for Collin M. and Stephen Ames! Tiger let his immense golf skills talk on both occasions and they both 'UNDERSTOOD' 😂😂😂 2:25
The next week finished tied 20th in the Ford Championship at Doral and tied 7th at the Honda Classic the week after that. He took the following week off then won The Players Championship by six shots over Retief Goosen.
Stephen A, never TRASH TALK at another professional ever! Especially the best golfer ever! You got taught a lesson in humility and respect! Tiger never trash talks other players. He always criticises his own play, as it should be. I hope you learnt to play more than talk hot air pomposity. Post match interviews showed just how traumatised SA was after the drubbing he got in the match. Tiger stated facts about being motivated to win by SA's trash talk about his (TW's) play, and making sure that he showed SA his full golf acumen! Take that SA, put it in your big mouth and smoke it as you go back home! Wowza!
This was Tiger, at 30 years of age, when he was favored in every tournament---this Tiger would destroy the current PGA. I believe in this season, he repeated at the (British) Open for his 3rd Open title and then, several weeks later, won his 3rd PGA Championship.
I'm Canadian and we can't stand Ames up here. Ames is from Trinidad Tobago, and moved to Calgary and just decided to call himself Canadian. Watching golf back then I always had to shield my eyes when they had his name on a leaderboard with our flag. Greg Norman lives in Florida, so.... I guess he's American rite.
@@ekko808 Whenever I watch an LPGA tourney on the weekend I have to have 3 things. A cold beverage, chips and an oxygen machine whenever Brooke comes on. I may not have missed a shot she's hit on tv. The last tourney before shutdown Brooke was 3 inches from an albatross. Her first tourney she had to Monday qualify. Then she won by 8 shots. I was hoping to drive down to Vancouver this summer to watch her for the first time. But it doesn't look good now.
@@clubredken13 I have seen Brooke play in person live twice, and her action is honestly so interesting to watch. I honestly hope she can stay injury free and healthy for a long time to come. I consider her to be our best Canadian golfer all time.
@Oliver Haynes Exactly. I've always wondered why a skidmark myself. So you're concerned that a match between Brooke and Stephen would result in a victory for Brooke. We've all held that concern. And we will help you thru it. But rest assured. Brooke will beat Stephen. Just as soundly as Tiger beat Stephen 9 and 8 back in the day.

Fun fact: Stephen Ames has been on the back side of both of the biggest beat downs in Match Play History, he lost 7&6 the year before this……😂🤣😂 I’ll cut Stephen a little slack, Happy Birthday and Congrats on the win today
Woods 2006 golf game would probably still have him at world number 1 now even the way DJ is playing. I hope he can win a 83rd pga tour title but odds are against it. How many more years will Tiger play. I can’t see him playing as long as Phil.
Tiger’s game from 2005-2008 was probably the best stretch of golf that’s ever been played. If you transported that version of Tiger to today, he would crush DJ and everybody else. Remember he did get back to number 1 in the world in 2013 when he was supposedly past his prime and playing against fields that were way deeper than when he dominated in the past. It’s unfortunate that so much of his career was wasted due to injuries and personal problems and now he’ll almost certainly never play again.

5 wood out of thick rough, driver off deck, 7 birdies, that many one putts as well. this is why Tiger is the best.

With a 3 wood too
There will never be another. What a great time to be alive and experience the energy of prime Tiger Woods.

Now that’s a gift ! So much fun watching these..
5 wood in deep rough for 253 yards on line. That’s ridiculous
Massacre lol He definitely understands now. Stephen was never to be heard from again lol
Been looking for this footage for ages
Have you won a match 9&8?

Keep mouth closed.

12:06 The best comment ever "You're 5 behind and you're laying up A" 🙂
First hole, 450 yards, TW plays for position with a fairway wood . . . damn!
Damn SA head was scrambled he said @17:49 "Tiger was a tough component today." LOL!!
The I think he understands now part is savage 😂
Yeah whoa!!!
If I was Ames, I would've hit the ball in the trees on purpose and just never came back while everyone thought I was looking for it.
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Nicks comment: 5 down and we're laying up eh?
Let me translate: "What is this loser doing?"
That was embarrassing. I actually felt bad for Ames.
I’m surprised the video was this long
Loved when they hosted the event at la Costa golf. Then someone decided to move to the stupid desert in the middle of nowhere
Ironically, this came between Nick O'Hern's victories over Tiger in the same event. You can tame the Tiger, but only if you sneak up VERY quietly.

In that same tournament, Nick Faldo was bitter over how much coverage Tiger was getting and Tiger dismantled the 96 champ in his threesome.

Best part is TW interview at 18:15
