Jack Nicklaus is the G.O.A.T.! Let’s look at the facts: 18 Major Victories. 6 Masters, 5 PGAs, 4 US Opens, and 3 Open Championships. He has 19 second place finishes at the major championships. He also played against the best competition during his career. There is no question Jack is G.O.A.T.!

I still enjoy watching modern golf, but there's something so cool about the way these guys played the game!

RIP Vin Scully, the best play by play man ever. He was great at golf as well as baseball and football.

RIP Tom Weiskopf... true gentleman and one of the greats of this game

This was the first golf tournament I remember watching on TV as a teenager, and Nicklaus became my instant idol. I saw him in person 3 years later playing an exhibition match, and got to interview him in 1996 when I was a reporter covering majors. What a thrill, the greatest golf champion of them all.

Greatest Champion of All time. He was the same in victory as in defeat: Classy. Never cussed. Never made a disparaging remark and always supported his opponents and the game of golf. If you want to emulate a professional golfer, Jack is THEE guy.

So nice to read comments about Jack Nicklaus, who was not only golf's greatest Champion but was one of the greatest sportsman in any sport in any era. He and Arnold Palmer set the standard for how to conduct yourself in victory and in defeat. Their conduct had a huge impact on generations of people, myself included. Nobody likes to lose but Jack set the standard for how to act when things don't go your way. These attributes have disappeared in today's society and several generations have grown up without the example set by Jack and Arnie. Too bad.

I was at my second Masters, stationed in the JAG office at Fort Gordon. Anyone in the military could attend for 5 bucks provided you were in uniform. I was at 16 when Jack made his putt. I went to Rich’s Department Store on Monday and bought the green and white Hathaway shirt that Jack wore on that Sunday. Still my greatest memory in all of sports.

This was my favorite era for watching golf, so many legends.

I think I could watch Nicklaus 1-iron on 15 about 500 more times and still would want to see it one more time. 😆

What more can you say...the greatest player in history.

Jack Nicklaus is pure class.

Jack Nicklaus 18 majors but what's more amazing is 19 second place finishes in the majors.

Some legendary announcers to go with the legendary golfers. A young Ben Wright on 16!

Jack is a class act. Miller was a great ball striker. love this old footage, superb

The 40 foot putt that Nicklaus made at 16 was the greatest putt I ever saw a man make under extreme pressure. It showed the heart of a lion and a true champion.

Tom Weiskopf is of course remembered for being one of the best golfers of his era but people also forget what a fantastic commentator he was. His coverage of the 86 masters was brilliant. His passing was a true loss to the game of golf. How is it that Ohio produces so many great golfers LOL

Thank you whoever was responsible for having these classic tournaments uploaded!

Great to hear Vin Scully announcing the tournament.

Love how I don't hear anyone yelling "mashed potatoes". Wish it was the same as back then.

After a long winter in Pittsburgh, I chose to play golf instead of watching the Masters. When I got home, I found out I had missed one of the greatest Masters ever. I have seen highlights over the years, but never the complete broadcast.....until today!!!

This is borderline HD for golf footage from the 70s.

Tom Weiskopf doesn't get much publicity these days as one of the greats, but man did he have a near perfect golf swing...just beautiful.

Watching this after reading Gil Capps' 1975 Masters book...one of the best golf books ever written in my opinion...

"I think that's the greatest putt I've ever seen in my life." Great announcing!!

Great memories! I remember watching this live and being on the edge of my seat the entire time. I was 14 years old and had taken up the game, and fell in love with it, 2 years earlier. I also got to meet Jack Nicklaus and get his autograph (along with several other big names at the time) in 1973 when they held the Ligget & Myers Open concurrently with the U.S. Professional Match Play Championship at the course I grew up playing (MacGregor Downs CC).

Loved having Ben Wright on commentary.

The great Vin Sculley doing the broadcast. I miss these old broadcasters. Sculley, Summerall, Lindsey Nelson, Keith Jackson, Chris Shenckel, Curt Gowdy.

Jack for me is GOAT, but so many forget how explosive Miller was.....saw both play in LA in late 70’s, great time for golf

My grandfather Phillip Wahl Sr was the Superintendent manager at “TheClub” at this time. Personally hired by the founders Bobby Jones and Clifford Robert’s. Was called “son” by Robert’s s he had no children and they became very very close. One of their spots to talk was out back of the clubhouse sitting on a cart under the big tree. They would sit and talk often. I think about them Two talking every single time I pass by that spot!!

I grew up in Augusta ,and this was my 2nd Masters( I was 10). I was lucky enough to go from 74-87 ,then ‘97, then ‘02, and I went back this year for the first time since then. I’ve been re-watching all the best years over again. Jack’s win in ‘86 is amazing for many reasons obviously, but I still think this is the best Masters ever. I was a huge Weiskopf fan and even got to meet him in the caddy room that year, and as upset as I was that he lost, I knew that losing Jack was NEVER really a disappointment because he was the best.

As a PGA Club Professional and not young at 58 it's amazing how hard we hit putts back in those days as greens speeds were slooooow. Everyone of those putts hit today would be in the bunker, off the green or in the water. No wonder the average score hasn't changed in 40 years, it is more difficult for an average player to chip and putt with green speeds stimping 12 feet

I could watch the Trevino shot on par3 #12 all day (at 15:20). Man was pure genius. While others focus all their pre-shot routine at staring in front of them at a shot they’ve already seen hundreds, if not thousands of times, Lee knows that to gauge the wind on #12 you need to look at the pines BEHIND the tee box. What’s happening with the wind AT the green only matters as the ball is done descending. Lee is confident he’s figured out the swirling winds and note how quickly he goes through his address routine. The excellence of the process is matched only by the majesty of the near-perfect shot itself. Brilliant.

Great to see this put online. I was just reading an article about the 1975 British Open, which mentioned what a great battle there had been between Nicklaus, Weiskopf and Miller earlier that year, at The Masters. Googled it and, hey presto!

I've gotten hooked recently on these Masters final round vids. It has made me revisit my old Wilson Staff irons and woods on the course as well. The kids look at them and ask how I can hit the ball with clubs that small! I tell them "look, it makes the ball look huge".

I love the split screen. They should do that more now.

This has to be the raw feed. Amazing footage. Thanks for posting.

A fantastic back nine. As a kid I had a video with highlights of this Masters - great to be able to watch the full live coverage of it!

Jack is by Far the Greatest EVER, Always 1st Class,

@1:00:56 After a great approach shot to the green, his caddie says something to Jack, and Jack smiles and puts his hand on top of the caddie's head. My mom recounts the story of when I was a kid in the 1980s at Colonial in Ft Worth, Jack was walking through the gallery near us, and he did the same thing to me - reached down and kind of ruffled my hair. It's a very gentle and personal expression. Yes, Jack Nickaus is and always has been a class act.

No better representative of the game than Mr. Jack Nicklaus - the undisputed GOAT on and off the course. 👏

I'm so glad I finally got to see this. As I remember, on that day I was taking my mother-in-law on a tour of the Del Monte Forest and Pebble Beach. That may have been the very last Masters I ever missed. The only thing I disagreed with was that Mr. Frank Boyle said that Sunday was "the greatest day I think in golf history." In my mind, that would have been Sep. 27, 1930 when Bob Jones won the US Amateur and the Grand Slam. Thanks, Augusta National, for putting all these wonderful tournaments for us to see, and for being such a great force in golf.

Man, all of them so gracious in the cabin. Different sport back then. Miss it.

This was great to watch. Being too young (48 years old) to have watched this one at the time, my knowledge of the ‘75 Masters was pretty much limited to Jack sinking the 40 footer on 16. However, Jack’s 1 iron approach on the 15th (@1:00:30) has to rank as one of the greatest shots in the history of the sport. Phenomenal and incredibly clutch shot.

Can't get enough of watching this. It's like a time machine to my teens. There's sort of a perception that Weiskoff blew it, but I think Nicklaus really won it--not only with canning that improbable putt at 16--but with the 1 iron at 15. He must have hit a relatively poor drive to have that much left, yet he went for it. He was probably the only player in the game to do that with confidence. And he pulled it off. The only poor shot Weiskoff made was the tee at 16. He switched clubs, and I'm assuming to the shorter one. I wonder what he was thinking. It's a tough shot. Watson had just dumped his in the water, and Nicklaus came up short. I think the winds swirl there, just like at 12. I imagine Weiskoff felt pumped and decided to jump on the shorter club. But his pass doesn't look like it. Did he hit it fat? Suppose we'll never know. But he and Nicklaus both played 17 and 18 perfectly, and neither of them got their putts to drop. Overall, Nicklaus won because he was the better player: he gambled and executed that perfect long iron and then canned the long tough putt on 16. Weiskoff made just one mistake, but with Nicklaus that's all it took. Then two years later Watson would do it to him at Turnberry. I just loved watching this. Still my favorite golf tournament ever and to watch it again was an awesome experience

Thank you Augusta National for putting this on UKposts. I missed the original broadcast because I was in the Navy and was overseas.

Jack Nicklaus the undisputed GOAT on and off the course. Won 18 majors and came in second 19 times. When Tiger dies I'll say oh well. When Jack dies I'll cry my eyes out.

All such legendary names now. I loved watching these with my grandfather.

RIP Tom Weiskopf, 1942-2022

Thank you so much for sharing. Vin Skully bows this out of the water.

Always loved to listen to Peter Alliss during a golf tournament. The voice that remains a constant through the years.

I first saw jack Nicklaus in 1968 ( I was 7 years old) did not fully understand golf or what greatness was at that age! By the time jack won his fifth green jacket in 1975 idid understand both of those things! Jack stands for greatness ,he stands for golf! Him and tiger woods are the two greatest golfers if all time! Growing up my three idols were Bobby Orr, Pete rose, and jack Nicklaus! And they still are! - bsj!

Brings me back to my early 20s. Great stuff. I couldn't believe how slow the greens were then. Maybe it was just the day.

R.I. P. Tom Weiskopf, One of the best swings in the history of golf, but he admitted he didn't have the concentration that Nicklaus had. It took all the concentration and skill Nicklaus could muster to make the putt at 16. Weiskopf did everything but win this tournament, and he admitted it bothered him for some time. Still,a great champion.

The stars really aligned for this one. The modern equiv today would be like DJ and JT chasing Tiger

They mention that Jack had previously won 4 Masters Titles, and had 13 top 5 finishes. Incredible!

No one would have guessed that the torch would pass soon to Watson. He won the British that year, and dominated for the next 8 years.

Jack Nicklaus best pressure player.

Thanks for this. These guys were the greatest hitting the ball with a small wooden mallet not the giant heads these kids are hitting with. And one more thing Nicklaus was the greatest pressure putter of all time.

Love how the players were not walking billboards then. Notice how few are wearing hats.

Anybody else loving the angelic cameo insert of Weiskopf keeping an eye on Jack's eagle putt at 1:06:37....hahaha

15:53 Lee's footwork is nuts. I can't believe he even hits the ball. Then almost holes it so what do I know?

8:16 You gotta love that finish in the down swing

A great Masters, so many hall of famers. The Golden bear comes out on top.

All-time favorite tournament. They were all gents then.

Tough school with these commentary.

Can you imagine Jack with todays equipment? There'd be no point showing up!

Before the Tiger walk, it was the Nicklaus walk. Class.

Nicklaus' one iron at the 15th reminded me of his one iron shot at the par 3 17th hole at Pepple Beach which hit the pin to cement the victory at the 1972 U.S. Open.

Nicklaus putt on 16 unnerved Weiskopf, but actually it only tied him with Jack at that point. Great theatre on 16 as Tom Watson dumped a couple in the pond, with that delay Miller & Weiskopf were able to see all the drama of Jack's amazing putt!

A real treat to see 1964 pga championship winner Bobby Nichols in color. I grew up 5 minutes from Columbus County Club where Nichols won that tournament 6 years before I was born.

Tom Weiskopf played Sonny in The Godfather

One of the best masters of all time.

50:31 Jack Nicklaus’ caddy ripping a heater and one of the greatest putts of all time to take back the lead at the 1975 masters absolutely classic! 🏆

245 yd. 1-iron on the 15th for his approach. That's Jack; that and his putting is what separated him from all the others. Nobody, even today, would hit a medieval 1-iron made of terrifyingly punishing and jarring metal 1/2 centimeter off the dead sweet spot, over that water today.

I never knew the crowds were so big during that era, I always thought when Tiger came to the scene was when they became so big.

This is brilliant, started golf because of the masters and faldos first win! To watch all this before I was born is just brilliant...think I'll watch 76 next!

And another comment, in my opinion this tournament was the #1 example of why Jack Nicklaus was the GOAT. Two of the best players of his generation hitting quality shots left and right, but Jack's best work is just a little bit better than their best work.

1:14 The other day I was commenting on Jack vs. Tiger and mentioned how many more major winners Jack had to face from major to major. At this point in the video you see a leaderboard with 10 players on it with a combined 31 majors between them. Every player but one has won a major.

No fancy clubs in this golden days. They hit it with awesome skills.

Interesting that you had the 3 giants there--10 years between them--Palmer in twilight, Nicklaus in prime, Watson emerging.

Vin Scully, Jack Whittaker, and Pat Summerall; 3 sport broadcasting giants on one telecast.

Ah, the capless era, how true, how wonderful, no Nike hats, no drunk fans screaming "get in the hole", or "get in the water".

Tom Weiskopf should've won a Green Jacket.

14:54 ohhh that sound.

Billy Casper was a great.....and very under rated ....player. A great tournament for him in 1975.

Love how the caddies are sweating every big shot.

Jack's 2nd to 15!!!!1 iron!!top 5 shots all time..period

The 1975 coverage was so much better than the 1974 coverage.

Wow, I was 11 years old. I remember my father watching this on tv, live. Feels so weird to watch this. Feels poignant.

Fun Fact : This is the year Tiger Woods was born, Microsoft was founded, the Thriller in Manila and the first Viking landers landed on Mars…

Miller and Weiskopf never shook hands after the round. Very telling. Weiskopf was never a friendly pairing.

I'm pretty sure I watched this as a kid. I would have been 9. Listening to Vin Scully makes me realize I didn't know who he was until much later. He was 47 at the time, and I'm older than that now!

The great Vin Scully. He could make any sporting event memorable, but on that Masters Sunday he didn't need a lot of help.

watching it live on TV got me interested in playing golf. Amazing drama could cut the air with a knife.

These guys would crush today's players on this course

First Masters I ever watched……not until 1986 did it get any better than this tournament

I always thought his swing was most spectacular (20:22) when hitting woods

Nice to hear Pat Summerall’s voice again.

Wow this is a fantastic timepiece. Lee Trevino on the 12th tee, stops and watches someone's shot coming in to the 11th green before he plays his tee shot. And then without any delay, he proceeds to stiff his tee shot.
