Woods' one-shot win at Augusta was 15th major title and his first since 2008, having seen his career plagued by injury during large chunks of the decade.

The former world No 1 needed back surgery four times in the space of three years and dropped outside of the world's top 1,000 after being limited to just seven rounds of competitive golf between August 2015 and November 2017.

Woods was unsure how his body would cope with a full schedule for the first time since 2013, only to exceed expectations with runner-up finishes at the Valspar Championship and PGA Championship before claiming an 80th PGA Tour title at the 2018 Tour Championship.

The Masters

Victory at East Lake saw Woods head into 2019 as a major contender once again, with the 43-year-old delivering in style to claim the Green Jacket for a fifth time with a first Masters win since 2005.

Woods started the final round two strokes adrift of Francesco Molinari but took control of the tournament over the closing holes, with a two-under 70 enough to finish a shot clear of Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson.
