The match itself took place at the famed Pebble Beach Golf Links in Monterey, California, and was an 18 hole stroke play event.  Without giving away who won, let’s just say that the match came down to the final hole, with the winner dropping a decisive birdie putt.

The match hasn’t been rebroadcast in any way since 1963.  CBS plans on airing the event, renamed Nicklaus vs. Snead Revisited, on Sunday July 12th at 2 p.m., prior to the final round of the John Deere Classic.

I suggest that if you have the time, and the inclination, you sit down and watch this special match between two of the all time greats in the world of golf.  At the very least you will get a chance to see Jack Nicklaus in his prime, the first of his 18 majors under his belt, on his way to becoming arguably the greatest golfer of all time…for now.
