Newsdeck: Tiger Woods Wins Masters, Once Again Is Golf's Biggest Star By Bloomberg
It was the first major title since 2008 for Woods, once golf’s most dominant figure until a high-profile sex scandal, divorce and multiple injuries led to a very public fall from grace. There were occasional doubts about whether he’d even continue to play professionally, let alone win another title at one of the most iconic events in world sports.
Nike released a short video within seconds of Woods holing his winning putt, showing various images of him over the years and with the message, “It’s crazy to think a 43-year-old who has experienced every high and every low, and has just won his 15th major, is chasing the same dream as a 3-year-old.”
There had been moments of Old Tiger — he regained his No. 1 ranking in 2013 — but his play was largely inconsistent. He missed most of 2017 following back surgery, and in May of that year was arrested for driving under the influence. Finally healthy, Woods has been playing better of late. Last September he won the Tour Championship, his first PGA Tour title in five years, and came to Augusta as the world’s No. 12. He’s set to move into the top 10 when they’re updated next.
