Johnson Wagner recreating iconic Tiger Woods shots from 2000, live on 'Golf Central Postgame'

Johnson Wagner, meet Tiger Woods 2000.

The Golf Channel analyst and three-time PGA Tour winner is recreating some of Tiger’s most iconic shots from his most famous season, live during “Golf Central Postgame,” Thursday through Sunday.

Wagner is traveling to four select sites to see if he can pull off some of the most memorable shots over the last 25 years. Which sites, which shots? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

Friday, he was north of the border:

Bell Canadian Open, final round, 18th hole

Woods led by one shot over Grant Waite entering the 72nd hole, the par-5 18th, at Glen Abbey. Woods’ tee shot found the right fairway bunker while Waite split the fairway. With Waite hitting his second shot safely onto the green, Woods played aggressively to a tucked, back hole location and flushed a 6-iron from 218 yards that landed on the green and finished in the back fringe. He went on to make birdie and win his ninth and final title of the season.

Thursday: A pair from Pebble Beach

First up were two shots from Pebble Beach, which hosted a couple of events in 2000 – both won by Woods. In February, at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, Woods overcame a seven-stroke, final-round deficit to chase down and surpass Matt Gogel. The highlight of that performance was his hole-out from 97 yards on the par-4 15th. That helped keep alive Tiger’s winning streak, which reached six straight starts dating back to the ’99 season.

Recreation No. 2 came from June’s U.S. Open. Woods hit 15 fewer shots than anyone that week, and the one that everyone remembers – which made an awed on-course reporter Roger Maltbie say, “It’s just not a fair fight” – was his second into the par-5 sixth, a 7-iron out of the (then) 4-inch rough from 205 yards in Round 2. Woods went on to win his fifth event of the year – his third career major – and set a record for major-championship margin of victory.

Here are the scheduled times for the remaining “Postgame” shows, which will be hosted by Wagner’s “Live From” colleagues, Rich Lerner and Brandel Chamblee. (all EDT):

  • Saturday, May 10: 7:30-8:30 p.m.
  • Sunday, May 11: 6-7 p.m.
