two solid long irons in the playoff from Faldo - first a 4 iron off a downhill lie, next a 3 iron off a downhill lie. nothing to worry about, just it being nearly dark, plus cold/rainy, with wet footing, a little fog, slippery grips, 1989 technology, a massive bunker at 10, and a water hazard at 11, plus gonad shrinking PRESSURE and a questionable sweater...... wow, if anyone wants to disparage the greatness of Faldo, just watch this replay!

Lyle, Faldo, Woosnam - no better time to watch golf as a young teenager. We had just 3 channels on t.v back then , sport was a treat and this was the biggest treat of the year bar none. Staying up late and watching drama unfold on the most beautiful and pristine golf course in the world, happy times.

Faldo's 3-iron on No. 11 in the play-off was a thing of beauty and Ken Venturi's commentary was the perfect match for it. One of the shots I'll always remember having watched the Masters on TV since the early 70s.

I was fortunate enough to play 18 holes with Mike “Radar” Reid a year or so after this Masters in a BSA fund raising tournament in Sun Valley, thanks to my father. What an experience! He was and remains one of the nicest, humble most gracious people I have ever had the opportunity to spend time with. His nickname “Radar” was every bit of how controlled his game was. I wish he could’ve won this one or The PGA Championship which just slipped from his grasp. While playing with mr. Reid, I asked him if he could pick who he was paired with in tournament play, who would it be. Without hesitation he responded, “Tom Watson, he has the greatest temperament of anyone on tour, never says a negative word, he makes you play better just playing with him and I’ve tried to follow his example of mental control while playing golf.” Radar did manage to pull off a couple Senior Majors :)

Work 6 day's, Sunday relaxation viewing golf by the best...priceless. Never played but love it .

I always promised myself that after my made putt that broke 100 for the first time I would raise my arms like Faldo did at 3:23:42.. This spring I finally did it...I looked a bit foolish - it was a tap in - but I still enjoyed it.

I’ll always remember Ken Venturi and Ben Wright as the voices of the Masters, nothing compares with that today.

One of the forgotten putts of all time is Hoch's miss at 17 after the brilliant chip.

This brings back fantastic memories...i was 10yrs old had not long been playing golf and used to sit up late with my dad watching the masters dreaming of one day playing this beautiful course....watching my heroes play this wonderfull game!! I wish I could go back to that time just once more I miss it so much!!

these were the best hours of my young life...sat watching this great golf....I wish I had a time machine.................

It’s amazing to watch golf without people shouting “GET IN THE HOLE”

Been rewatching old Masters…well my own first memories of golf is Woosnam in 1990 holing that putt at 18. But I have to say Norman is up there in nearly everyone from mid 80’s to mid 90’s. How on earth did he not win a Masters. An old wise dedicated golfer once told me Norman sold his soul for money and that was in the early 90’s. 👀😅⛳️🏆🖤

Faldo one of the best chasers in golf in his prime. He was a beast at the Masters.

Thank you Mastersssssssssss! Love watching these videos! They are simply magic and bring back so many wonderful memories! Love love love it!

Hoch the choke, still remember watching this on my little portable telly till the early hrs in the UK, at the time it was great that faldo won, but looking back now, I wish Norman had won, all the chances he had in major's is now forgotten by most, but he was at the time the best player out there for me, and a great guy, he deserved a green jacket to cement the legend

*¡The blast from the past!* In the morning listen to The Beatles, in the afternoon watch a couple of Colombo chapters on TV, and then later you see Faldo winning the Masters.

Seeing Ken Green with the green glove and shoes brings back memories. He played his best golf for a couple years in the late 80’s. Poor guy was in a terrible car accident a few years ago in which his wife was killed and he was pretty severely injured.

Remember this Masters more than any I have seen since 1988 bar Sergio in 2017. I have seen most of them. Nick Faldos rhythm in his swing is second to none, could watch it forever. No hurry, no pulling, just the whole body working as one. Thnks a lot for uploading this! I have this in some of my old VHS-cassettes.

Greg Norman driving the ball 290 with that equipment is simply incredible

Faldo won 2 out of his 3 Master's titles by shooting the lowest score of the final day - that takes some guts as well as skill

Nick Faldo, one of only 3 players to win back to back Masters.

This is the tournament i first watched on a sunday night as a 19 yr old on a sunday on bbc2 and fell in love with this wonderful game ❤

Great videos and even better as the BBC have now stopped showing it, and they wonder why golf is dying in the UK. It's the masters and open that inspires future golfers, and sadly less than a million will be watching the masters come April

A fantastic watch, obviously knew the result but watching it unfold in real time is a real experience, in the absence of live sport (thanks coronavirus) this is great. Thank you.

27:44 I'm glad Hoch missed this 10 footer because after he picked up the ball he placed it at least 2 inches closer to the hole. Study the footage and just look where the ball is in relation to his right foot.

Faldo had the steely character that makes a great, it’s a mindset!

Love that "Bobby Orr Invitational" umbrella for Crenshaw on 18!

Hoch's putt: every golfer has been there.

Norman had all the talent to win a dozen majors, but lacked the mental focus, still , he did have a great career. One of my favorite golfers of all time.

The commentators were so biased towards Greg Norman! Nick Faldo makes an absolute bomb on 17 to take the lead. And they barely had any reaction?!🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ What a putting exhibition by Sir Nick Faldo. Nerves of steel! Total choke by Scott Hoch! Great performance by the Shark as well. Just seemed snake bitten when it came to winning a green jacket. Such a unique Masters tournament. With the relatively high scoring, and rain. Love watching the classic tournaments back!

1986, 1987, 1996 are of course all ones that Greg Norman either let slip away or were taken away from him. This one to me, though, is the one underrated one that got away honestly. Teeing off 18 with a 1-iron leads to a bogey that keeps him 1 shot out of the playoff with Faldo and Hoch. Considering that they both make bogey on 10 (the 1st playoff hole), Norman has to rue that decision just as much as Larry Mize's chip shot and that Sunday collapse in 1996.

Unbelievable final round action! Faldo awesome, but obviously Hoch blew a great chance. I would have loved to see the Shark in the playoff. I think he should have taken Driver on 18. Best play of the day for me was Crenshaw's wood onto the green and holing a 30 footer to birdie 17.

Such a poor putting display on 10 from Hoch. He must still have nightmares about it. Unbelievable play from Nick on 11. Nailed the iron straight at it then holed out. No lucky chip in, just great play.

Nick Faldo was a master of long iron shots here at 11 in the playoff and the 3 iron at the 92 Open Championship

19:52 Commentator asks what sort of effect a “Nap” has on a player. Guy speculates.

THANK YOU, for posting this much coverage. 👍

1:21:00 Crenshaw with one of the 10 best bunker shots in the history of the game

Jim Nantz is a national treasure. The best!

For the third time in four years, Greg Norman had a chance to win or tie on 18, but nerves undoubtedly interfered b/c the guy who made the a steely-eyed charge from 13-17 suddenly disappeared.. He was overly cautious on the drive and left himself a long, difficult approach in the rain over a greenside bunker.

Remember watching Sandy Lyle at Birkdale 98 tee off on 1st. Took half swing, not even 3/4...but went a mile. Amazing!

Love the smooth American accents 😊👍🏻 Greatly appreciated 😊

The fact that Greg Norman never won a Masters is remarkable. Such a huge talent who was weak between the ears. His collapse against Faldo in '96 is one of the biggest chokes in all of sports...ever.

You want to know the class of Nick Faldo...he didn't want Scott Hoch to miss the return on 10. He thought well if I'm going to win this tournament, I don't want it to be with a bogey. Then he showed complete class on 11 with that 3 iron second shot which looked perfect all the way. I remember this shot 31 years later.

I missed a short putt like Hoch's in my Member/Member. Still haunts me to this day...

Thanks for this post..great quality 👌🏽

What I'm loving about this video, is the yardages, Seve hits a tee shot a little right between the tall pines on the 13th, it was 210 yards from the front pine, commentator says there was no way Seve could get a ball to the green. These days that's a 5i.

Announcers continually refer to it as "The Green Coat." Now it is called "The Green Jacket." @1:46:24 and @1:46:31 and @3:10:22

The amazing thing about Hoch's missed 2 footer is he seems to have lined up to the left edge and then hit it straight. He didn't pull it, he just gave away the hole.

Sandy Lyle wearing a kilt at the jacket presentation is spectacular 3:33:30

bet nick was lovin the casual water on 11. golfing history!!

The kilt and the too small green jacket is classic.

THERE IT IS!!

3:12:55 Sandy Lyle is right. Classic mistakes under pressure are to either take too long or to rush. Just take your normal length of time.

the Shark with a head scratcher at 18, teeing off with a 1 iron. especially with momentum going into it.

A little chatter during the break on the first playoff hole. You can hear Nantz talking and saying yes sir to someone, most likely the producer Frank Chirkinian who was the boss of the CBS operation at Augusta for years.

Love watching this listening to the not so subtle American favouritism commentary knowing Sir Nick took it out!

Man, that is so sad about Scott, I remember watching this thinking, that poor man.

Seve was having some '86 flashback memories for sure there on 15 and 16...started blaming the patrons for his errors lol.

Amazing how long Jim Nantz has been calling the Masters. I was like three feet tall back then

Crenshaw lighting up-superb!

Glad you’re getting lesson. It will be great to see the improvements.

56:00 Faldo excellence from 230 yards !

I always think about Hoch’s 2-footer when I’m nervous over a meaningless putt with my buddies. Imagine that pressure! If that putt drops, Hoch and his sweet swing are immortal. Now, I only see his name in the comments of this video upload.

Crenshaw's putt on the 17th was amazing - it seemed clear it was going to miss right then it broke back to the left, rather like Nicklaus's shorter 1986 putt did. Then Crenshaw hit a horrible putt on the 18th, as far off line as Tom Watson's in the 2009 Open. That's golf.

Digging the music score from Patton ! 🇺🇸 🏌🏼‍♂️

The masters is peak old man and I’m here for it.

1989...when golf was hard, and the equipment made it harder!!!!

Really enjoyed watching this! Thank you The Masters!

What a change of leaders in this final round.

How many Majors did Norman choke on?? What a great broadcast!! And the nostalgia of a professional hitting 4 irons from 180...wow!

155.06 The tall blond guy in the red jacket has stood in that exact spot every Masters for over a decade!

I use to hit 225yards😢 with my 5 would and im happy. I did 240 yards inside last week and after i applied your great knowledge i gain 50 yars hahha with my 5 wood! Yes i did multiple 275 carry 290 total with my 5 wood haha....i couldnt do it with my 3 wood lol driver 300yards loll i use to drive 265/270 yards driver....today 295 to 300 with old club. My driver is a old ping g30 10.5 And my 5 wood is an old raylomade rbz

I loved watching this as a 15 year old kid. I can hardly believe it's 29 years ago. Where does the time go?.

Mike Reid had the rournament in his hands

3:09:50 it's amazing the announcer almost predicted Hoch's missed putt. But he predicted the wrong side of the hole he would miss.

Could watch Seve swing all day...wonder ful rhythm. Only prettier swing was Weiskoff's

Scott Hoch took way too long to putt out on the 18th. And he did it again on the first playoff hole (10th hole). It’s like he was too afraid to win, he blew it big time. It’s no wonder they said that Hoch rhymes with choke! Greg Norman’s caddie here is the New Zealander Steve Williams who would experience disappointment and AGAIN the very next year when caddying for Ray Floyd, by losing to back to back Masters winner Nick Faldo. Little did Steve know that he would become the most successful caddie of all time winning 14 Major Championships (13 with Tiger and 1 with Adam Scott).

Scott lined the ball up to the left edge and tried to give it a two-inch tap; he tapped it three inches.

what a great drama. Poor Greg Norman. he has struggled in this tournament.

3:32:10 The start of the Faldo-Nantz chemistry on CBS. Nantz looks enamored..

This is when I discovered golf it's been a long Affair ever since

Officials were ready to call play for the day had Faldo not sunk that long putt - the darkness is not obvious on the tv screen.

Hoch's putt @ 15:45 on the 7th foreshadows the stroke he makes on the playoff hole.

3:33:09 The jacket is too small. Nick needs a 44L, yet they gave him a 43, and after putting it on it was clearly too small. I suppose the club gave him the correct size later.

just hearing Bob Costas is so nice

Titlist Tour Pro balata’s...lasted about 3 holes lol

Faldo walked into the room to get his coat with basically a Scottish skirt on and Hardin told him sternly Lose the dress.

Bobby Jones had a nice swing.

I remember being a 12 year old kid watching this....and every year since lol

Footnote, Nantz came in with some ideas on how to change the broadcast, one was having Curly from the Three Stooges say "Ummmmmm Weiskoff" when throwing toTom. True story

When the world wasn't as dumb as it is today in 2021!

the bias of the announcers against Scott Hoch was very evident and unfortunate to say the least. Showed itself against Ben and then Against Faldo.

High Peak visors were certainly the name of the game back in the day

Interesting that some posters say Faldo didn't win the others lost, the conditions were appalling and he shot a 67, Norman choked as did Hoch, Faldo held his nerve and scored the best round of the day, that's called winning.

One of the best things about watching these or when I record a golf tournaments is I skip through the annoying segments CBS, NBC, or TGC put in about side stores. Or I skip the even more annoying commercials! I counted the other day TGC showed three shots and then commercials, this pattern continued until I stopped watching a half hour later. I looked up the winner after it was over. I want to see golf not listen to announcers tell stories ( unless it's Feherty) or advertiser tell we need something when we don't!!!....There, I feel better!

I hope Nick sends Scott Hoch a Thank You card every year for handing him this Masters win. Wait a minute...he needs to send Greg Norman one for the one in 1996, too.

Ben Crenshaw lighting a cig, my how times have changed! Now it's eat a power bar and drink a sports drink.

Brilliant.

Awesome last round. Gripping

Wat a brilliant masters that waz.👍
