Brian Manzella has stood next to more great ball strikers than almost anyone alive. He watched Jack Nicklaus play 600 holes. He sat next to Lee Trevino. He watched Byron Nelson hit the whole bag. He was at Valhalla for prime Tiger. So when he ranks the greatest golf swings of all time, it is not a listicle. It is a verdict from someone who was actually there.
In this episode Brian unveils the 12th edition of his Top 100 Golf Swings of All Time, and he and Sam Osborne break down the top 10 one by one. Sam had never seen the list, so every reaction is live and unscripted.
They cover Ben Hogan at No. 1, why the 2005 Tiger swing edged out 2000, Sam Snead's impossibly quiet head, the deliberate genius of Jack Nicklaus's flying right elbow, Johnny Miller's weak grip and laser irons, and the pick nobody sees coming at No. 6. Plus the argument that ties the whole list together: course management is worthless if you cannot actually hit the shot.
The full top 10: Hogan, Woods, Snead, Nicklaus, Miller, Couples, Wright, Trevino, Nelson, McIlroy.
Brian Manzella is Golf Digest's #14-ranked teacher in America. Sam Osborne is a former touring pro. Together they give you golf history the way it actually happened, with no spin.
