Tiger Woods has won The Masters tournament in an astonishing comeback after 14 years without a green jacket.
Woods, 43, was tied for second going into the final round on Sunday at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, but pulled into the lead on the back nine and won as his mother and girlfriend looked on.
It is the first time Woods has won a major when he did not have a lead or co-lead after 54 holes, and his first win at The Masters since 2005.
Woods caught up with tournament leader Francesco Molinari on the 12th hole, when Molinari double-bogeyed on a shot into the water.
On the back nine, there was at one point a five-way tie for first place, with Woods, Molinari, Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson all sitting at 12 under par.
Woods jumped out to the lead with a birdie on the 15th hole for 13 under. He went two up on the field with another birdie on the 16th.

I don’t get it. All these white people with white privilege madly cheering Tiger Woods. Don’t they know they are all racist, bigots, homophobes, etc. and should hate Tiger for his race. But I did not see any evidence of racism. Something does not compute!

LOL. It might be one of the last time's Old Jack can say, "I got me a bone!"
I’m sure it does for a Beta-cuck soy boy like yourself.
Enjoy getting a stiffy watching another man play a game.

Isn't that how Tiger got in trouble?
I would put the shot at 12 as just a flat out mistake or nerves. At fifteen he was in trouble with his drive then hit that approach a little fat. Such is golf. He played almost sixty holes bogey-free, but you cannot overcome two doubles on the back nine on Sunday.
He is the highest-paid athlete in the world.

Just amazing
First time he won when not leading after 54 holes.
Not a fan.
But I have to admire how he never gave up and his win is good for the game.
Well done Tiger.
Definitely this is Tiger sober and in the zone! It is a very nice look on him !
The graphic didn’t say Tiger was older than Nicklaus. Have there been any 44 or 45 yo golfers win? If not, Tiger is the oldest since Nicklaus.

Golf isnt really a game, but Tiger IS the best at it.
