Watched it on TGC this evening. ****, just phenomenal. We see the great shots one at a time and are impressed, but when played back to back...

FWIW: The superchip at the Masters wasn't even among the top 10!

Once in a lifetime, maybe longer...

Didn't Davis Love III make a similar chip c.1999? Also, I believe Arnie chipped in from a similar position in one of his Masters victories.

Still, a great shot from Tiger.

I watched this last week, some pretty crazy shots.

I believe that show was his 10 greatest shots NOT in majors. And, I don't think that one they were showing last week was all that new. That show was probably at least 2 years old, if not 3.

I remember seeing the #1 shot (Canadian Open) live. I remember the announcer saying 210 yards, 6 iron and then the other announcer groan in astonishment. But for some reason I just had a feeling he would pull it off.

I also remember an interview with Earl Woods where he predicted that Tiger would hit a memorable shot in every tournament in which he plays. Over the years I have watched him, I would say that statement isn't too far off.

I was surprised by that omission as well. But then they went on to say that the 10 shots were from PGA Tour events only, not including the Majors.

I didn't see the show, but the shot in the Canadian Open was SICK! The difficulty, the risk involved, the moment, and having the guts to do it... WOW!

I too remember watching it live, and I just couldn't believe it. I wasn't into golf as much back then, so I didn't understand quite as much how great of a shot it was. And like others have stated, it was top 10 not including majors.

I will never forget the Masters chip-in on 16, because of the reaction where I was. I was forced out of my Augusta home to go to a wedding shower weekend in Atlanta on Masters weekend. On Sunday at my in-laws, I was watching the tournament peacefully - a small crowd of 5 adults. When Tiger hit behind the green, I told them (not very knowledgeable) who thought Tiger was dead that Davis Love had chipped in from a similar situation a few years before, that most any shot thrown up that slope would settle back near the hole. When the shot toppled into the hole, 5 adults exploded outta their seats, standing and yelling - and in the middle of the din was my little Maltese (see avatar) barking his head off like he thought it was an awesome shot, too.

in my opinion, his best shot was the one that won him all of his tournaments........

^^ good call man, that shot was truely amazing over water though out of bunker, i have to rip a 6 to hit it 216, and out of a bunker, most i could hit a 6 is 180, he wasnt human

Of non-major ones...the 4 iron at Torrey Pines in 2003, from the rough, punched to keep it under a tree, to a tucked pin tight over a trap, landing it on the green and keeping it within 15 feet of the hole sticks out to me. The Canadian Open was more impressive due to the circumstances, but I think the degree of difficulty on that one was slightly lower (the fact that he hit 6 iron so far is what I think made that shot).

Agreed. I'd have to really rip a 6 iron and hope it flies 218 on a perfect day, probably with some wind to help also. To even try that out of a fairway bunker, over water, no way.

you are such a powerhouse

Out of that bunker, i would have to aim left, hit my 2 iron hybrid, and hope!
