Golf's 7 Greatest Trick Shot Videos

Golf trick shots are a uniquely awe-inspiring category. The game is hard enough played the normal way. But when we see someone do the seemingly impossible, it's truly like a magic trick, with a club and ball instead of a rabbit and a hat. We start with an impressive show-off shot from Phil Mickelson.

Phil Mickelson's Backwards Shot

9 Balls, 1 Cup

Not sure what the big deal is — I've 9-putted a green before.

Tiger's Magic Clubface

Tiger can't walk on water, but he can make his golf ball do it.

Vijay's Water Hole-in-One
