Tiger Woods celebrates on the 18th hole to win the 2019 Masters on April 14, 2019.
AUGUSTA: Tiger Woods completed one of sport’s great all-time comebacks to end an 11-year major title drought at the Masters on Sunday by claiming a fifth Green Jacket. A gritty two-under 70 clinched a one-shot victory over Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Xander Schauffele and earned the 43-year-old a 15th major title that many thought would never come.
Unsurprisingly, the triumph also renewed talks of Woods making a run at Jack Nicklaus’s record of 18 majors. Not since the 2008 US Open had Woods hoisted a major trophy and the last of his four Augusta titles came in 2005.
