Masters 2019: Tiger Woods wins 15th major with thrilling Augusta victory

Tiger Woods produced a scintillating finish to win a fifth Masters title and end an 11-year wait to claim a 15th major.
There were raucous celebrations around the 18th green as Woods finished with a two-under-par 70 to win on 13 under, one clear of fellow Americans Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Brooks Koepka.
The 43-year-old, written off by so many so often as he battled back problems in recent years, punched the air in delight, a wide smile across his face, before celebrating with his children at the back of the green.
It is the first time Woods has come from behind in the final round to win a major and it his first Masters victory since 2005.
He is now just one behind Jack Nicklaus’ record of six wins at Augusta National and three behind his fellow American’s overall major tally of 18.
Overnight leader Francesco Molinari’s hopes sunk with two double bogeys on the back nine.

Since 2005!..damn he deserves…great comeback

It’s an epic victory.
The world had actually given up on him.

Good for him. Ile Scandal and ensuing divorce, plus demise ya babake did affect him.

Folks really turned their backs on him after his scandal especially his sponsors (which i fully understand because at the end of the day business is business) but mwanaume nikujiokota, ujipanguse vumbi na uendlee na safari.

His wife took him to the cleaners na hio divorce-rape. Alichoma picha sana.

Kama huyu ex wife wake alimpeleka cleaners je jeff bezos atasemaje?

Yaani that malaya made sure msiito couldn’t win a masters for 14 fucking years! How do you expect a superstar like Tiger Woods to stick to that one pussy of yours when there’re millions of bitches throwing themselves at him? Most of these trophy wives know their celeb hubbies have harems but shut up about it because the life is too good. Ayayayaya, kwanza all the jokes that were made about him. Imagine sahii the guy would have won at least 4 more masters. At least.

Tiger hapo alijifunga own goal and ill tell you why. Moneyed folks be it celebs, politicians and business people most of their wives come to terms with the fact that the man will go get some vagina out there but they dont want to know about the side chik and her being all over her face and in the tabloids. Hio situation ya tiger vile ili unfold mpaka front page ya NYT there was no way a wife will stick with a husband after umemchora hivo nationwide. Keep in mind that there are always exceptions @captain obvious

You’re right, she was embarrassed, but let’s not forget she’s the one who brought the case to national limelight with her kiherehere. She found some texts, discovered he was cheating and made a big scene. Tiger then tried to flee the house, the wife came out with a bat I think to smash the car’s windows. In the process Tiger lost control and crashed the SUV. Obviously nosy paparazzi came to investigate the cause and had a field day.

You are right. Am sure if she did not react hivo they would still be a “happily married” couple. @captain obvious

The one that I remember and chuckle to up to this day was a tabloid headline as thus; “Tiger now admits he is a cheater”

Tiger Woods Wins 2019 Masters Tournament

In a spectacular return to past glory, Tiger Woodswon the 2019 Masters on Sunday, his first victory in one of golf’s four major tournaments in over a decade.

Woods energized fans as he pulled ahead during the Masters’ fourth round in Augusta, Georgia. He entered the final day tied for second place, two shots behind Francesco Molinari. By the 18th hole, he held a two-shot lead. With that cushion, he bogeyed the last hole to shoot a two-under-par 70 on Sunday, winning the tournament with a score of 13 under par. Three players finished a stroke behind him.

Woods’ triumph marked his fifth Masters title; he previously won the green jacket awarded its victor in 1997, 2001, 2002, and 2005. Sunday’s win also was the first time he had won any major without holding at least a share of the lead going into the final round.
Woods now has 15 major titles under his belt, placing him three behind record holder Jack Nicklaus, who has 18.

“It’s overwhelming, just because of what has transpired,” Woods said shortly after a tap-in on the 18th hole gave him his latest win. “Last year, I was lucky to be playing again.”

Woods, 43, had not finished first in a major championship in nearly 11 years; he won the U.S. Open in June 2008. And he has faced turbulence in his personal life since his last Masters win in 2005.

His father, Earl Woods, who mentored his golf game from the time Tiger was a toddler, died in 2006. His marriage and subsequent divorce become tabloid fodder in 2009 after a sex scandal made headlines, and he was arrested for a DUI in 2017.

Also over the past decade, Woods has undergone multiple surgeries, including four operations on his back, as he’s attempted to return to the top of his game. In 2017, Woods underwent a spinal fusion to alleviate pain in his back and leg. Just last month, he withdrew from the Arnold Palmer Invitational due to a neck strain.

Fans, including fellow athletes, rejoiced on Twitter over his triumph, agreeing that Woods’ comeback was complete and historic.

The guy really deserves it. It’s proves that with the determination and right mind set you can overcome any obstacle

Tiger has done to golf more than golf has done to him. I remember niggar burst onto the scene with amazing athleticism earlier on unobserved on the course. From 1996, niggar could pull cheering crowds mpaka sponsors wanashangaa. PGA alikuwa ameishikilia mbaya. Then kunguru happened. Fuck!
