Tiger Woods is back baby!
As Sir Nick Faldo said, “This will probably be the greatest scene in golf. Forever.”
He is not wrong.
Tiger Woods just won a 15th major championship with a leaderboard that is probably one of the best we’ve ever seen. He faced scrutiny and injury throughout his journey back to the top of leaderboard at Augusta National.
While we can all sit back and celebrate what just happened and how impressive this journey has been, there are two people on this Earth who will appreciate this win as much as Tiger. Sam and Charlie, Woods’s kids, have never seen their dad win a major championship.
They have now.

I could go through the motions of writing up a full recap of how this came to be, but I’m not going to do that right now. I’m going to sit back and appreciate what I just witnessed.
I’m going to remember that I told so many people over the years that Tiger wasn’t done.
I’m going to watch Tiger Woods have another Green Jacket placed on his shoulders.
There will be time to debate whether this is the greatest comeback in sports history, and if it isn’t, it is at least top two.
Tiger Woods is you 2019 Masters Champion.
