More than a decade after winning his last major championship, and just two years after he feared his career was over during a trip to Augusta National, Tiger Woods became a five-time Masters champion on Sunday.
With multiple major champions in contention late on Sunday, Woods posted clutch birdies at 13, 15 and 16 to build a two-shot advantage on the field. As he approached the 18th green to an incredible ovation from the gallery, Woods knew he only needed a bogey to clinch the green jacket. He barely missed a par putt to close the tournament in style, but tapped in to win the tournament.
As fans chanted his name around the grounds at Augusta, Woods walked off the green and shared a special moment with his family. For the first time ever, Woods’ son Charlie and daughter Sam got to watch their dad win a major championship from the 18th green, and they rushed into Tiger’s arms in a tearjerking moment that CBS announcer Nick Faldo called the greatest in golf history.
