Tiger Woods capped a remarkable redemption story with a win at the 83rd Masters. Here are the numbers behind Woods and his history at Augusta.
Share to twitterTiger Woods celebrates after sinking his putt on the 18th green to win the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club. The 83rd Masters will go down as one of the most memorable events in modern golf history.
Many fans point to Jack Nicklaus’ unexpected run to a sixth green jacket in 1986 at 46 years old as the ultimate Augusta moment, but Tiger Woods, who has been chasing Nicklaus’ legacy his entire career, might have just topped the Golden Bear. Woods, decked out in his trademark red, won the Masters by one stroke Sunday, holding off a stacked leaderboard of seasoned elite golfers. It was a moment that many sports fans thought would never happen after a series of back surgeries pushed Woods to the brink of retirement.
Americans love to see their brightest stars fall, and few have fallen from a higher point than Woods, who was the most marketable athlete on the planet for a decade-plus. But the one thing Americans love even more is the redemption story. Sports fans had waited 11 years for Woods to take another step toward Nicklaus' hallowed record of 18 major titles.
Woods’ Tour Championship win last year was an indicator of what was to come, and he’s once again a marketing force. Woods and Phil Mickelson had a $9 million winner-take-all pay-per-view event in November, and Woods signed a multiyear content deal last fall with Discovery’s new over-the-top streaming service, GolfTV. He will do weekly golf instructional videos and is set to do a series of showdown-type events in Asia as part of the Discovery partnership.: Back surgeries for Woods.
