I used to Drive and operate the PING Tour trailer, I had Miguel as one of my players on staff, although I didn't do much of anything for him, he did come to the trailer a few times a year. In 2007 at the Masters, he came to the trailer to get some new shoes we were holding for him,,,,Beautiful brown leather shoes with large tongues over the laces. He took the tongues off and signed them and gave them to me, I still have them today. He used to call me " CHUUCKIE " not Chuckie but Chuuckie. lol He also gave me a cigar that day and told me to wait until I got back to my hotel to smoke it because we weren't allowed to use tobacco products at PING. Miguel Angel Jimenez is one of the finest golfers, MEN on the planet. Nothing but " Class ". Thank you Angel for being so Kind to me!!!!

What a job that must've been! Sounds like a good one? Class story you shared here with us too! Only thing that would make these videos better, would be to have shot tracer on all the shots!
"...ever seen a Ferrari that needed to warm up?"... Love the Miguel swagger!
This has been the most enjoyable golf video I have ever seen. Miguel is just an amazing golfer and more amazing human being. So funny, friendly and delightful. It would be a dream for me to play a round of golf with this legend. His 1, 2, back and through had me laughing for 15 minutes, that's how great it was. What an exhibition of great golfing talent.
This man is class....love the guy, true gentlemen
Miguel, a giant legend of the game ...and as for Radar, still as cheeky as ever. Great vid boys!
Great to see such a humble man, a true gentleman.
One of the most underrated golfers,hes an absolute joy to watch ,great champion
One of the best souls to ever swing a club. An absolute idol to us all and a pure G.
I love this guy , he has got style and such an amazing golfer , I don’t think anyone has as many hole in ones on tour ,the coolest man in golf
Miguel is the Stan Lee of Golf very funny, talented and just loves what he does.
"1 2 Back & Through" Nice cadence to remember. Love the Radar series

Enjoyed the whole series but been waiting for this one- two of golfs true gentlemen. Bravo
could watch and listen to these two all day. Jimenez is a true gentleman and great golfer.
This was great, thank you! When I was a kid I wanted the ping i3 blade like Miguel played. I was fortunate enough to scrounge up enough money to get them in 1999. I'm still playing them today. Still love them
What a legend Miguel is and so laid back. Beautiful Sunningdale, I was lucky enough to play a round there on only one occasion and still remember it fondly. Great stuff Ping

It does look beautiful ! Wish I was good enough to play it 😪
Best one yet Radar! The man is a legend and I never get bored watching him. What a golfer 👍🏻 what a man!
Miguel comes across as a really fun great guy.. enjoyable to watch.👍
Love this series, I was fortunate enough to play with Miguel at 'El Paraiso" golf club Costa del Sol in a pro am when I lived there in the mid 80's, my Spanish wasn't so good then nor was his English and he hooked his first shot out of bounds which was a surprise to me as the club pro Juan Franco, a lovely guy, told me beforehand that Miguel was a player! but I had a good time in his company, not long after that he joined the tour, the rest is history, what a Star!!

I love stories like this.
This Whole Radar series is absolutley fantastic....Makes me want too go play golf and do the Miguel dance even though it`s raining hard
Got to love Miguel Angel Jimenez what a Legend and with Radar epic 🏌️♂️⛳️
Miguel, the matador. With a back as straight as his cigars. True gentleman and an inspiration.
Loved watching these two just wondering around the course. Great conversation, great golf and a sausage sandwich to top it off. Just goes to show that’s it’s not just about golf, it’s the company and the camaraderie as well. Great video guys!! 👏👏👏
It's amazing how these pros rotate through their shot, it looks effortless and they hit it with such precistion and power.
Could easily watch them play 18. Top work fellas.
Jimenez is an absolute legend would love to play a round with him. Would love those blueprints as well 😍
There's a buddy movie in there somewhere😎! Best episode yet. 👏👏👏
Thank you Ping ! Love the series
I played behind Radar the day he almost drove the par 5 5th hole at the NSW golf course in Sydney ...the hole is uphill over a big hill then downhill to the hole ... the wind was helping from behind but it was still an incredibly long drive .. he could really move the ball a long way in his younger days .. and was considered by just about all the Australian Pro's as the best ball-striker going around at that time ..there was no shot he didn't have back then ..
Miguel a great character,player, and ambassador for golf.
Such a fantastic course I’m lucky to get to play it every year - he is a legend !
I'd love to see Miguels watch collection, I bet he's got the best AP available. He has always been a favourite player of mine because of his links with Seve, who was and will always be my hero. That's why I still have my Ping Anser in the bag.
Absolute legend. Met him at the seniors open this year and he was cool af.
My favorite golfer of all time!
Plays the game in the perfect spirit! Doesn't take it so seriously. Enjoys it. Perfect.
Ping did well having Miguel as there Pro it was a pleasure to see an older photo of him playing the I3 irons that I still have and play with the white dots they fit me perfect and what a great pro Miguel is , thanks .
This guy was the reason I got so into golf. Cool as a cucumber. Absolute legend
Thay say "never meet your heroes" you will be disappointed. Well I would love a few holes with Miguel, what a great character. Thanks for the video.
A true professional in every sense....
My favourite golfer. Saw him get that 10th hole in one and an albatross live. Best ever
One of the likeable golfers of the world👌
My favorite golfer of all time
Fantastic video Gents played by two of the most colourful characters in Golf thank you brilliant entertainment cheers Peter
Absolute class, keep them coming!
Love that guy. Great golfer, great character. Need more like him in Pro golf.

Love love love this video!!
Really loved this series. More please!!
A fantastic watch! Great sense of style and skill
Love the rounds with radar.
Brilliant golf both of you . love Miguel what a nice bloke .
I love his English, it makes him even more endearing, what a genuinely great guy!!! Love Miguel!!! 🙌🏻👌🏻
Brilliant!!....both great characters 🏌️♂️⛳
Loved all the other episodes but this was my favourite 👍🏽
Wayne I think this is the best round with radar so far. Miguel was so impressive it is like he has an onboard calculator, working out distance yards and metres, slope and wind. He then explained it all so well and seemed such a nice guy. Really enjoyed it though I am not going to attempt his warm up stretches!
Excellent, such a class act and been a joy to watch and follow all these years. The biggest takeaway apart from Miguel’s rhythm, was in the first couple of minutes and how flexible he is.
What a nice man what a beautiful course first look at this series, have enjoyed reading Wayne's pieces in golf world so will watch many more.
2 fantastic characters, great watch thanks
Great vid I could watch you guys all the time. No pretentiousness so down to earth and fantastic conversation, must have been a fantastic day
Wayne that was really good mate, very entertaining. Having said that Miguel is a legend and would make any interviewer look good.
Wonderful course and video. You are so lucky to play not only with one of the best Golfer in the world but also with one of the nicest guy there is. Such a good Humor to see you both joking. Miguel gave also good advice. Golf is fun and so much more. Thanks for sharing.
This guy, to me, is one of the greatest golfers. Most consistent player in all of golf! I was at Dubai dessert classic in 04 and he was teeing off with Tiger and I ended up just watching him.
Class act that Miguel ...love him to play on our Saturday swindle, he just loves life.
Miguel is the best, one of the best videos i ve seen on this channel... gunna channel Miguel tomorrow in my play off round!!!
Great banter, two great guys loving life and their golf
Best one yet
Best one yet Radar!
Fantastic...thanks guys!
Best of the series! I only wish they’d published the entire 18!
I was lucky enough to win a round of golf with Miguel in the 2000 Nedbank Golf Challenge Pro-Am in South Africa! I enjoyed every moment and I still have the picture! Playing off a 16 back then it encouraged me to better my golf and try to get to the highest level. I now work in IT... ;-)
Great banter, love it..
Should have been longer,2 x 9 holes on both the Old and New courses,with these two characters there would not be a dull moment. Congratulations and thanks to Ping for devising and creating this series which has been utterly brilliant and hope that there will be more. Shibuno Hinako????
My favorite pro. This dude is toooooooo cool.
Thanks Radar , Miguel has been a favourite golfer of mine for many years so nice to see how down to earth he is Any chance you could convince him to come down under sometime
Great video very funny and down to earth class acts, cheered me up no end I still have my Ping G15 driver absolutely love it !!
Glad I just found this channel! I love Miguel! Thumbs up #591
Beautiful man with a beautiful swing
A real gentleman amazing series
Another great episode.
1:18 - 1:22 you really gave me a good chuckle. Had to rewind and watch it again. Good on ya'.
Just found this series & have watched all episodes in 2 days. Wayne I love your work, so much different and down to earth interviews. I'm not a Ping guy ( Callaway ) wish you were not tied to Ping only, how great would it be to play with Rory, Jason, Adam or Dustin
Love the reverse claw putting grip of Miguel Angel Jimenez
Miguel is one of the great gentlemen of sport. Not many players and manufacturers have a relationship that works as well or as long as this one. Radar was great doing the on-course commentary at the British Masters a couple of weeks ago. I am doing a Ping demo day in 3 weeks in Brisbane. Never hit a G400 or 410 before Yeeha!
great video. love this guy, great to watch and great to listen to. I will have to paint my own Picasso as not as good as you guys. at least my hole will look like a Picasso painting
Loved it.
Great video. What a gentleman
A true gentleman,lives and plays his life to the full
Best one yet 👍

His putting is right up there with the best in the world. Sunk pretty much everything against radar.
Miguel is just a legend and I believe in his philosophy BTW its there golf to be enjoyed and not to be taken to seriously but also to compete
Also forgot,he was vice captain at Medinah and at Gleneagles making him an unbelievable golfing hero!!

And Valderrama 1997, with his good friend Seve.
This is amazing
Miguel, my favourite ! Enjoy the Rioja and cigar my man ! 😎
Great story right here of Miguel sharing how he got started with PING and danggg 41 gold putters...great stuff there! Radar, by looks of that putt on hole 1, you won't be getting a gold PING putter any time soon....Lol!
Two top men there. Great content!
What an absolute gem of a man
I cannot imagine a nicer gentleman to play golf with, what a pleasure it must have been!
Absolute quality radar what a man mingel
I dug the insight when they were talking about finesse shots with the 7 irons. Obviously Miguel is dialed in. How did a guy this cool get into it with Keegan Bradley?! Miguel looks like he'd be a blast to play with.
I like how miguel going thru the ball motion. It is so control.
Coolest guy on the Tour. Legend!
One of golfs greats
