The fact that Tiger doubled the first hole three times that week and still won is amazing by itself
Sometimes it’s not about how you start but how you finish. 😉😃
Out of all of Tiger's major titles, this one was by far his gutsiest.
Tiger Woods is the best golfer of all time. No one has had the mental, physical, and emotional strength this man has. The 2008 US Open shows his toughness from all aspects. Legend.
Idk man , Hogan was pretty messed up after that accident
Tiger is the best I’ve seen but give respect to Jack Nicklaus 18 majors, finished 2nd 19 times in majors, won against better competition Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Raymond Floyd, Lee Trevino, Hale Irwin, Tom Watson, Greg Norman, Seve Ballesteros, Tony Jacklin all great major champions
Tiger has beaten Phil Mickelson, Roco Mediate, Bob May, David Duvall, Chris DeMarco, Sergio Garcia, Retief Goosen, Dustin Johnson, Xander Schaffele, Shaun Micheel, Ernie Els, Thomas Bjorn, Colin Montgomerie
Tiger has beaten very solid players but not the greats that Jack Nicklaus did plus the difference in equipment is crazy today everyone hits it long when Jack played not to many guys hit it like him & It forced Augusta to change their course setup to stop Jack from winning more then the 5 in his prime I know he won 6 but that was storybook that nobody saw coming 86 the only missing ingredient to the field was Jack Nicklaus everybody thought he was done & he won at age 46.
It’s just so cool. It was the last major before Tiger 2.0 and the fall from grace and it’s like everything we’ve witnessed and observed for the last 11 1/2 years (you could say 17) all came together for 1 last Major victory (Prior 2.0 Tiger) where the journey all started in San Diego, California. His Impossible shots, mental toughness, physical toughness, and going beyond CLUTCH which is the word that defines his whole career. It was on full display before our very eyes for 72 magical holes. The Highs, the Lows, and the perseverance to be a champion!! It’s sort of divine in a way. MAGICAL!!!
That third round was so fkkn memorable and that 18th hold on Sunday had me going nuts. Amazing golf. These were the days.
Well done USGA. Reckon, in the absence of live golf over the next few weeks, other bodies etc should follow the same lead. Would love to be able to re-watch full Ryder Cup coverage etc.
I watched it all, exhausting. Watching it now is exhausting; the determination Tiger had playing on that bad knee, I tip my hat to him well done. 🐐🐅
The knee didn't seem that bad when he celebrated. Lots of stress on that knee!
@@GlorifiedDonkey Still needed surgery tho. Mental toughness. 🐐🐅
Epic moment above all epic moments in sports history
Tiger had a broken knee the entire event... Incredible
a top 5 major of all time
Beautiful.
THANK YOU
Perfect timing 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The Kobe Bryant of Golf. The ultimate competitor. A Tiger’s Mentality! Legendary
More like the Jordan of Golf.
Jordan is tiger of basketball
in a tournament that Rickie Fowler (an amateur) gain entry as an Alternate and made the cut 2 other amazing ams accompany him
Does anyone know the soundtrack used for this film? I love it!
Can’t beat a edited club on ball contact sound. Have a listen to Lee Westwood’s 8 iron @ 38.31 😂😂
Day three of no sports. But we got 🐅. That's a win. Small win but a win.
Apparently this is the only dual we are going to get.
*THIS* is the Tiger Woods I will remember watching. Even if we never see this version of him ever again in a competive golf course (Which, quite frankly, we never will again), I am OK with that, because I can say that I saw the greatest golfer of all time in his prime. There will be no golfer ever again quite like Tiger Woods.
TW will give it a go at the Masters tomorrow.
Rocco did all you can do without winning it no shame in that effort.
Amazing the Worlds Greatest Golfers missing short putts. What a sport.
Damn that eagle from woods was something else...
The gods must have looked down on him and said:
"Alright buddy, we'll give you this one, but ya better get your sh*t together, ya hear?"
He won playing with one leg thats fucking insane tiger is 🐅
there is a better version of this out already. im surprised this was done. They have one where rocco is interviewed about it and the caddie everything. Its more personal and better then this.
Woah.
Days after the u.s open tiger woods is done for 2008
These overdubbed cup sounds are so unnatural
9:13 Did he say what I thought he said?
all the yellow background graphics when he said it didn't help any... but, LOL, i get what you're saying
He said yearn
😂👍
you have already produced a film about this major. what a waste
