The 43-year-old Woods began the day two strokes behind Italian golfer Francesco Molinari, but by the 12th hole, he was tied for the lead, and jumped to the top of the leaderboard on the 15th hole. Woods finished the tournament 13 under par.

Xander Schauffele, Dustin Johnson and Brooks Koepka all tied for second, just one stroke behind Woods.

The victory marked Woods' 15th major championship win, and his first since winning the 2008 U.S. Open at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego.

Woods last won The Masters in 2005.

Following his 2008 U.S. Open victory, Woods' professional and personal life began to unravel. An infidelity scandal in 2009 tarnished his image, cost him endorsements and forced him to issue a public statement, saying, \"I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.\"

Woods's marriage to model Elin Nordegren, the mother of his children, ended in divorce in 2010.

A series of operations on his knee and back hampered him on the golf course and prompted him to step away from competition on the links in December 2015 as his ranking as the No. 1 golfer in the world plummeted to 62nd.

Woods began to find his stroke again last year in September when he won the Tour Championship at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. While it wasn't a major championship, it marked Woods' first win on the PGA circuit since 2013.

\"It's overwhelming, I think, just because of what has transpired,\" Woods said in his post-match interview on CBS. \"Last year, I was just very lucky to be playing again.\"
