The way Jack can recall and describe every shot he hit in every tournament is something that always amazed me. His talent and character are something that I consider without equal. The word legend hardly does this man justice.

If my grandfather was still alive we'd watch all these great tournaments all day .every day. .. thanks for sharing

Jack's not your typical athlete's interview. So analytical. You can see how he won so much: always thinking and objective about himself.

Nicklaus is truly the master of all time. Such a complete game. No weakness. And the greatest clutch player of all time.

Weiskopf had the most beautiful swing the game has ever seen. I used to watch him hit buckets on the range. Awesome

Ben Crenshaw was the low amateur when Jack won, and Tiger was the low amateur 23 years later when Ben won

Very exciting coverage. Had to stop it several times as my heart couldn't take it.

Jack is the Alpha no question … love how he slips in humble little comments and then mentions the records as an aside .. you can feel his dominance

Just listening to Jack speak, you can feel that this guy is a monster.

23:29 Nicklaus to his Caddy after he hits his final iron shot of the 1972 Masters........ "That's the tournament Billy"

Jack Nicklaus greatest golfer of all time ⛳

Video quality looks phenomenal... thank you!!!

I always return to these older classic masters around this time each year

Nicklaus at his absolute peak, the 2000 Tiger of the day.

The GREAT Ray Scott on the commentary...

Love the small couch at the end

Back in the day when golfers weren't walking bill boards and played with a smile on the face like these legends!

No matter how many times I watch jack win any of his six masters , I feel like it's the first time I've seen! Winning never gets Old, golfers like jack Nicklaus + tiger woods also never get old. The two greatest golfers of all time! I've watched flim of jack since I've been 8 years old,I'll be watching him + tiger when I'm 98! - bsj!

After watching Jack for over 40 years, I just realized he rarely takes a practice swing.

Too bad they didn't have coverage of the 1st round back then. The leaderboard after the 1st round was Jack first, Sam Snead second and Arnold Palmer third, each all alone.

20:20 The gallery is an amazing sight.

Bobby Mitchell is hilarious. He looks like a guy who runs a driving range

Weiskopf closely resembles James Caan

38:00 Jack would never have imagined that 14 years later his then 10 year old son, Jackie would be on his bag for his sixth and last Masters.

Absolutely fantastic!

Interesting reading the bios of Mitchell and Crampton. Both went pro as teens. School of hard knocks. The one thing that makes me think the old guys were mentally tougher and more competitive--they had to be.

23:31 - "That's the tournament Billy." Jack

Boy you can sure tell the difference when CBS took over broadcasting the Masters shortly after this. Not that this is bad. But CBS has always done such a stellar job covering the tournament! I wonder what contributed to the relatively high scoring this Masters..? Jack Nicklaus is the G.O.A.T.!💯 Love watching back these old Masters tournaments.

Why tell us who won? Why show us the winner in the Thumbnail? Wouldn't you think it would be more entertaining for people to watch old replays without knowing who the winner is?

38:25 Jack being Jack...he could be blunt sometimes.

I know this isn't somebody's vhs tape from their home VCR recorder because nobody had VCR's in their homes in 1972! Got to be from the network or from a local tv station who were the only ones who had video recorders in 1972. Great Quality.

Poor guy at the end just wanted to put the jacket on Jack and got totally denied.

@ 23:30 as Jack hits the shot into 18...it's gone off about 80 yards and calls it is still ascending: "that's the tournament Willie". Ball nestles in at 12ft. That is a "Boss" call!

Refreshing to see the respect given to the players, no idiots screaming "GET IN THE HOLE!!!" like these days. Unfortunately golf has become unwatchable today due to crowd behaviour. Very sad.

Tom Weiskopf, the perennial bridesmaid to Nicklaus it seemed. Always right there, never conquering Nicklaus.

The Butler Cabin interview was just as awkward and uncomfortable then as it is now.....

GOAT

And Crampton looks like he's in the principals office, and Weiskoff looks like he's ready for the regatta

The vinyl green couch to match the green jacket. 1972.

Did I miss seeing the leaderboard when I got up for a beer

Yes Spuds the greens that year were overtaken by poa annua which made them extra difficult. No wonder Jack's winning score was just 2 under.

Love that they had use the clubs caddies then

Mitchell wearing the Lacoste alligator was a much as would be seen then. Now, they're walking billboards...

Thanks, Great video. Have they changed the grass on the greens? These seem very bumpy in 1972?

50 years ago, wierd.

Can someone tell me why ball flight tracking is far better in 1972 than it is now in 2023???????????????

Tragic end of Clifford Roberts, the man who got the Masters going Bobby Jones wanted to create a golf venue. Clifford Roberts facilitated the Augusta National in 1933 and was found dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds there in 1977 Clifford Roberts, right, with starter Fred McLeod at the 1976 Masters Clifford Roberts, right, with starter Fred McLeod at the 1976 Masters. Photograph: Augusta National/Getty Friday 30 September 1977. The Augusta Chronicle’s front-page headline is profound: “Roberts found dead; Masters co-founder”. As detail is subsequently relayed, that the 83-year-old chairman of Augusta National had been discovered on the property with a self-inflicted gunshot wound, the widespread perception of Clifford Roberts is easy to detect. He was, the newspaper insisted, the chairman “with an iron hand”. Inside, an editorial portrays “a genius organiser” and “the indestructible man, the forceful personality whose iron will would normally carry him through any crisis, physical or otherwise”. In reality, deteriorating health proved too much for Roberts to bear. He had not been able to leave his bed during the Masters that year. He killed himself, just as his parents had done in what represents a horribly sad culmination of circumstances. Roberts, with hair cut and dressed in new pyjamas, was found close to the water on Augusta National’s par‑three course. Alongside a pistol were a brief note of apology to his wife and, by way of explanation, a copy of his medical records. The Roberts story is not one anyone in Augusta is encouraged to revisit, for pretty obvious reasons. Nonetheless, his role in the formation of not only a club but also one of sport’s most identifiable events is a fascinating one. It is generally overlooked. Roberts is virtually absent from view, save a three‑minute KZfaq clip which reveals his curious speaking style.

Bruce Crampton throwing his caddie under the bus. Classy.

did they not have the full telecast that year or did they just do the short one..for tv...

Strange seeing that final round pin placement on 16.

Even Ben Crenshaw can't believe the score he shot... 15 under par ?? 33:13

The greens looked in bad shape, but love watching these old tourneys.

It's not he who chokes, but he who chokes least. Jack almost always choked least.

Bruce Crampton is an Aussie speaking with an Aussie accent combined with a southern accent. lol

That’s the Tournament he says at 23:30

its too bad tom Weiskopf couldn't have won one

I would give anything for one of those alligator hats

25:08---Six and never

Can you upload the video of Clifford Roberts chewing on lead? Asking for a friend...

13:34... is that a wooden shaft in Jack's wedge?

I like how Clifford Roberts cut Pat Summerall off in order to get to the “patrons”, and then proceeded to go on himself!

I love Vin Scully, but this announcer is better at golf broadcasting.

Augusta would never allow Poa annua to infest its greens today.

Amazing

Augusta looks like a muni back then

49:23 Roberts committed suicide down by the lake due to poor health

This is so groovy and shagadelick

What kind of shaft is in Jack's SW? Nasty lie, but great shot. 13:21

6:39 Champions Swing!

Ben Crenshaw is so young!

This is wonderful. I only wish there was more coverage from earlier in the broadcast. I assume this is all that remains available?

Bermuda greens.

Tom weiskopf was once quoted as saying that any of the courses in Columbus were superior to Augusta National

Notice how every caddie on the course is black. This is when The Masters still had all of Bobby Jones' original racist policies in effect - NO black golfers allowed to participate (so Tiger, like Lee Elder, Calvin Peete and others would not have been allowed to compete if he were around), and ALL golfers had to use one of the Augusta staff-caddies - all of whom were black. Funny thing is, despite the blatant discriminatory racial code, you never heard Jack Nicklaus or any of the white golfers complain about not being able to use their own personal white caddie, or you never saw any white caddies in Georgia file a lawsuit against the Masters Tournament for blatant discriminatory hiring practices. The racial policies at Augusta had been in effect since 1932 and here it is in 1972, still chuggin' along, 7 years after the 1965 Civil Rights Act supposedly outlawed such practices. The policy did not change until 1983, 50 years after it was established. The wholesale inaction here makes for an interesting contrast with today, where if just ONE black person gets a job or seat in a law school, a complaint or lawsuit is filed claiming "reverse discrimination." In fact, just last week (July 2022) the entire police department of a North Carolina town resigned en-mass, simply because the town for the first time hired a black city manager, after a grueling nationwide interview process with over 30 professionally experienced and undergraduate/graduate educated candidates. That's the reaction you get today when just ONE black person is competitively hired, but at The Masters in Augusta, owners and management for years instituted a systemic racial hiring policy where white caddies were excluded for decades from caddie jobs during Tournament play, AND NO WHITE PERSON FORMALLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DISCRIMINATION AND NO WHITE PERSON FILED A LAWSUIT against THE Masters to challenge and stop the practice. As 'Star Trek's' Spock might say, "Fascinating."

The Ohio Open

Trevino brat him pretty badly in that playoff. It wasnt even cose. It proves what i said, if you read my post

$25,000 1st place money. Inflation calculator puts that at $186,801 in today's money. 2024 Masters 1st place money = $3,600,000.

bring back the black caddies

Crampton: "Don't want to get on that Indian reservation."....you see the look Jack shot him???

..

p ..

Jack is great but at their best tiger was betterJack is great but at their best tiger was better

Tiger Woods is the greatest, but Jack Nicholas is high on the list

Not a lot of aestheticism in the game back then... they all look like accountants just coming from the pub... Especially that Homero guy... he looks so drunk! His hat, his belly... looks completely wasted...

Who was the black guy that tried to put the Green Jacket on Jack?

Greens didn't look so great that year.
