The title of “best golf shot in history” often sparks spirited debate among golf enthusiasts, but one shot frequently tops the list: Gene Sarazen’s “shot heard ’round the world” at the 1935 Masters Tournament. Sarazen faced a seemingly impossible challenge on the par-5 15th hole, trailing by three strokes. Using a 4-wood from 235 yards, he hit a remarkable albatross (double eagle) that helped him tie for the lead and eventually win in a playoff. This extraordinary shot not only altered the course of the tournament but also cemented Sarazen’s legacy in golf history.
Other contenders for the greatest golf shot include Jack Nicklaus’s 1-iron on the 17th hole at the 1972 U.S. Open and Tiger Woods’s chip-in at the 16th hole during the 2005 Masters. Each of these shots demonstrates the exceptional skill and drama that make golf a captivating sport.
