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.

On a little side note, I didn’t like the gum chewing that Woods and Michelson did. It was distracting.
Why, all of a sudden, do both of them need to chew gum during a tournament?
Really great to see a comeback! Now if he’d just ditch the gal he’s with he’d be alright.
Tiger never was very good at choosing women. I thought that she was a hottie. After that, what else could you want in a woman?
Well he still isn’t. He can do better. But he does like them white.
Well, if it all matters, so do I....
I thought that she was a hottie. After that, what else could you want in a woman?
Flame, flame, flame.
I’m so glad you’re not shallow.
Why, all of a sudden, do both of them need to chew gum during a tournament?
They were going to chew Red Man Golden, but they knew the spitting would unnerve the snowflakes like you.
One of the greatest comebacks of all time, and you are distracted by two of the greatest golfers of all time chewing gum.
Get a grip.
At the 12th, Molinari’s shot was smack dab in the middle of the pond.
I do believe that’s one of the worst misses I’ve ever seen.

FTR, It was 15 and his ball clipped a tree, it was a bad shot in that he got it up into the tree ,but not as bad a swing/contact as the result would indicate.
The main reason I know and care LOL is that I had money on him :( , but happy for Tiger anyhow
NVM just dawned on me what shot you were talking about as I did not see that one live, 15 is the one that put the dagger in my, and I also had Finau.
At least I was able to watch the 17th and 18th hole........
With the return of Woods, I think there is going to be a resurgence in watching golf again.............
Good for you TIGER! Stay healthy and keep winning.......!
He put it in the drink on 12 too.
I will say, he doesn’t seem to cuss anymore. Then again, I don’t remember seeing him hit a bad shot.
That's what I was thinking but here you are again.......Sheesh!
I said it was a little side note. And, yes, the chewing of gum annoyed the shit out of me.
Michelson and Woods never had to do it before.
Good for Tiger. Here’s to second chances.
Speaking of @ssholes, if you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all.
Maybe he did it on purpose
I do believe I heard him drop an F bomb on the tee after an errant drive, and there was also a J***s C****t after another shot. He wasn't the only one though... Rahm is hot headed and foul mouthed.
