Tiger Woods has amassed 15 Major championships in his professional golf career. While Woods showcased his talents at different golf courses to win these Majors, it seems the American has a special connection with Augusta, host of the Masters tournament.
After all, Woods has won this tournament on five different occasions, with his most recent win coming in 2019. Recently, the X (formerly Twitter) account of Happy Gilmore star Shooter McGavin, shared a video of "Prime Tiger Woods" hitting the ball at Augusta.
Sharing the video, McGavin wrote:
"Prime Tiger Woods at Augusta National was poetry in motion"
You can check Shooter McGavin's post about Tiger Woods below:
Tiger Woods first won the Masters as a 21-year-old in 1997. This was Woods' first-ever Major championship win, and he also became the youngest golfer to have won this tournament at Augusta. Woods beat Tom Kite by a margin of 12 strokes to win this tournament.
Post this victory, the American golf legend next won the Masters in 2001 and won it for the second consecutive time in 2002. Woods' final two Masters titles came in 2005 and 2019 respectively.
How did Tiger Woods do at last year's Masters Championship and how much did he earn?
The 2024 Masters at Augusta is the only tournament in which Tiger Woods made the cut that year. Woods competed in five tournaments in 2024, but the Masters is where he scored 73 and 72 in the first two rounds to progress to Round 3 and Round 4.
However, Round 3 and Round 4 at the 2024 Masters were not Woods' best rounds. After the tournament ended, Woods had scored 73-72-82-77 to finish in 60th place. Woods earned $44,400 from a $20 million purse for his 60th-place finish. Here is a detailed look at the payout:
