Tiger Woods' Best Moments at the Masters

Tiger Woods hasn't won a major since 2008, but he is confident heading into the 2019 Masters.

"I know I can play this golf course," he said this week, per Dave Shedloski of Golf Digest. "I've had some success here."

That's an understatement for a player who has won this event four times, trailing only Jack Nicklaus' record of six. He has also earned a top-10 finish at Augusta National 13 times.

While the 43-year-old has produced memorable performances all over the world, some of his best have been at the Masters. Here's a look at his best moments at the tournament.

1997: Breakout Performance

Real golf fans knew about Woods for a while. He was the low amateur at the 1995 Masters and had already won three professional tournaments before teeing off at Augusta in 1997.

However, he introduced himself to more casual fans here.

Woods not only won his first major 22 years ago, but he also dominated the field with a record score of 18 under par and a 12-stroke margin of victory. At 21, he became the youngest winner ever.

After shooting a 70 in Round 1, he followed it up with a 66 in Round 2 and a 65 in Round 3, putting him nine strokes clear of his competition and taking the pressure off for his first major title.

"Never had a lead like that; never won a major championship like that. I've never been a part of anything like that," Woods said in the video above. "And it means a lot."

2001: Tiger Slam (Skip to 2:27:03)

No one has won the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship in the same year, but Woods became the first and only player to have all four titles at the same time.

He won the last three majors during the 2000 season and then completed the "Tiger Slam" when he won his fourth in a 365-day period after taking the 2001 Masters title.

Like in 1997, Woods made his move in Round 2 with a 66 before grabbing the lead with a strong performance in Round 3.

By the time he approached the green on the 72nd hole, the crowd knew who would win and let him hear it after his yearlong accomplishment. Playing alongside Phil Mickelson on the final day also added to the intrigue as a rivalry continued to blossom.

2002: Back-to-Back Titles (Skip to 4:28:46)

By 2002, we expected Woods to win every tournament he entered—and he seemingly did.

He was especially impressive at the Masters, winning his third career title and second in a row that season with a final score of 12 under, three better than Retief Goosen.

Woods had reached such superhuman status that the most notable shot was his miss on the 18th hole that would have sealed the tournament. Although he laughed off the failed birdie attempt and tapped in for par, his reaction to the miss is what made the cover of Sports Illustrated.

The win gave him his second straight Masters title, and he became only the third person to successfully defend his championship after Nicklaus and Nick Faldo. By this point, it was clear Woods was not only the best in the world but also one of the best in the history of the sport.

2005: 'In Your Life Have You Seen Anything Like That?' (Skip to 1:44)

The tournament was won on the first playoff hole, but the best moment came on the 16th when Woods hit arguably the best shot of his career.

Chipping from just off the green, he sent the ball far left of the hole only for it to slowly roll all the way down and creep into the cup after a brief stop on the lip. As it happened, it seemed like the ball was stopped for 20 minutes before turning into a birdie.

The call captured the excitement from everyone watching along, creating an iconic image.

Woods eventually lost his two-stroke lead to necessitate a playoff against Chris DiMarco, but he rebounded with a birdie to win his fourth green jacket.

2018: Highly Anticipated Return

For someone with 14 majors, a tie for 32nd isn't usually noteworthy. Still, this was a big event for Woods and golf fans around the world.

Thanks to repeated injuries, he saw limited action in 2016 and 2017, appearing in zero majors. He missed the Masters three times in a span of four years heading into 2018.

However, he returned to Augusta last season with loads of excitement from the gallery.

Not only was he just in the field, but expectations were high after a pair of top-five finishes. Per Vegas Insider, Woods was listed as a co-favorite along with Jordan Spieth at 10-1.

An opening-round 73 quieted the hype, but the crowds around Woods were still as big as ever.
