Shell's Wonderful World of Golf

Shell's Wonderful World of Golf

Shell's Wonderful World of Golf was a televised series of golf matches began in the 1960s. The program was sponsored by Shell Oil. It was a part of the tradition of "challenge matches" between pairs of professional golfers, which were the earliest form of professional golf competition, but have now been almost entirely replaced by large field tournaments.

It started as a pre-recorded one hour program on Sunday afternoons and was notable for also including information about the host country for that week's show. It also included the conversations between the contestants between the shots. As such, it allowed to audience to feel they were part of a foursome traveling with the competitors and host as opposed to being just a spectator in the gallery.
