Rather than tweak the current thread I thought I would start a new one. When thinking about iconic shots I struggled as I kept thinking of iconic pictures or poses.

So, for me Jack Nicklaus crouched down with his putter aloft as his putt sank to win his last major (why yellow Jack? Just why?).

Closely followed by Van de Velde stood in the burn at Carnoustie with his trousers rolled up, hands on hips.
 
Just a few

I think that Jack wore a yellow shirt on the Sunday in memory of Craig Smith, a young Ohioan boy he had befriended many years before who was suffering from terminal cancer. Yellow was Craig's favourite colour.

That is an iconic photo, as was the BBC commentary of Peter Alliss who, when the ball was perhaps four feet from the hole, whispered 'It's there'.
 
Do paintings count? This is the one for me; Old Tom by Sir George Reid. Lovely piece of work.
