Tiger Woods' first Players Championship win came in 2001, around 24 years ago. However, the phrase used by NBC commentator Gary Koch during Woods' final round 17th hole putt has been etched in history forever.
In 2001, Woods entered the Players Championship for the fifth straight year. While he had won most of the big titles by then, he hadn't tasted success at the 'fifth major' yet. The then 25-year-old star carded scores of 72-69-66-67 over the four days to finish at 14-under and beat Vijay Singh by a one-stroke margin.
Woods played incredibly well in the final round of the Players Championship, and his genius was on display during the par-3, 17th hole, where he made an incredibly tough putt on the slope. As he made contact with the ball for a 60-foot putt, Koch delivered his iconic verdict on the golfer's approach.
