JACK NICKLAUS: 18-time Major champion

The shot: “Tiger was playing with David Duval in the 2001 World Cup. The Americans needed an eagle on the par-5 to force a play-off and Woods faced a chip shot from a downslope to an elevated green and hole cut a few paces from the edge. And he made it. I don’t think under the circumstances, I’ve ever seen a better shot.”

JOOST LUITEN: Six European Tour wins

The shot: “I can remember watching John Daly playing the 18th hole at Hilversumsche in the Dutch Open in 2002. It’s a bit of a dogleg par-5 with trees on the right. The line that he took – straight over the trees – left a 7-iron in. Everyone else was playing safe, but he just pumped it over the corner. It was one of the first times I’d watched a pro tournament live and that really stuck in my mind. It was so impressive and it was at a time when he could do things no one else could.”

ERNIE ELS: Three-time Major Champion

The shot: “We were completing our second round at the 2002 PGA Championship at Hazeltine early in the morning when Tiger found a left fairway bunker on the par-4 18th. There was a tree in front of it. He was standing outside the bunker – his feet right up against the bunker’s edge – and this was like 7.30 in the morning. He picks a 3-iron out of the sand, over the tree, onto the green. I mean, you just can’t make this stuff up. He hit this thing, it had to really climb quickly. At 7.30 in the morning, to hit that kind of a shot, crazy.”

MICHAEL SIM: 2017 Queensland Open Champion

The shot: “The first thing that comes to mind, I mean I played a few rounds with Tiger Woods. Probably just Tiger in general. I was fortunate enough to play with him and just the sound of the ball coming off the club and just the awe he brings.

I remember playing in the US Open (2009) with him and you know I thought he was going to win the tournament. I’m out there and I’m practically watching him and I am going this guy’s going to win the tournament, and I was like hang on a minute I’ve still got five holes to go and I’ve got to worry about my game. Because he was just on a roll.

There was one shot he hit into the 7th just before they blew the siren he hit this 5-iron that went 200 yards, straight over the trap to like 8-feet and it was probably something I couldn’t do."

RYAN FOX: Two PGA Tour of Australasia wins

The shot: “I’d say the one I’ve seen is the obvious choice, the Tiger chip-in on 16 at Augusta. I mean that’s one of the most iconic shots in golf.

The best one I’ve seen personally hit, and it wasn’t in a professional tournament, it was in an amateur event.

I was playing foursomes with a good mate of mine, Ben Wallace, maybe eight years ago. I hit him well in the crap on a par-3, we’ve got absolutely nothing, on hardpan, 20 yards over a green, uphill to the pin, long rough, he’s got no shot. And he’s got sand wedge out from under this tree and hit this low, spinning bunker shot off the hardpan and it landed 25-foot, long left of the flag, and the greens thankfully were soft and he has spun it back to three and half feet and I’m standing there going I couldn’t have hit that on the green let alone hit it to three-feet. So that’s probably the best shot I’ve seen in a tournament.”
