On Sunday Tiger Woods made history by winning his first major tournament in 11 years at the 2019 Masters at Augusta National. The win was particularly emotional for Woods, who had fallen off his perch as the world’s top pro golfer at the start of the decade when a series of injuries combined with the public scandal surrounding his extramarital affairs caused him to lose the mental and physical technique that had earned him 14 major championships. After sinking the final putt, Woods walked off the course and hugged his mother and young daughter while the crowd chanted “Tiger!”

“To have my kids there, it’s come full circle. . . . My mom was here, she was there in ’97 as well. I’m really at a loss for words,” Woods said after his win. “This would be up there. It was one of the hardest I’ve ever had to win just because of what has transpired the last couple of years, trying to come back and play.”
