Tiger Woods Wins Dramatic 2019 Masters for His 1st Major Win in Over 10 Years [View all]

Source: CNN

The greatest comeback story in golf history is complete, and Tiger Woods has a green jacket to prove it.

Woods shot a two-under 70 in Sunday's final round of the 2019 Masters Tournament, defeating Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Xander Schauffele by one stroke to win his fifth championship at Augusta National. It's Woods' first major championship since the 2008 U.S. Open and his first green jacket since 2005.

Woods' 15 majors overall puts him within three of Jack Nicklaus on the all-time list. He is the second-oldest Masters winner in history, behind only Nicklaus' 1986 masterpiece.

Not only did Tiger win the Masters, he did so in a way he never has before in a major tournament: playing from behind. Woods entered the day two strokes behind Francesco Molinari, who finished tied for fifth place after falling apart on the back nine.
