On Sunday, Tiger Woods did what almost no one, including himself, thought possible — he won the Masters to claim his first major in more than a decade and to pull it off he overcame a third-round deficit for the first time in his long career.
I can’t thank my family, friends and fans enough for their support. Having my family by my side today is something I will never forget. To not only be able to play again, but to be able to win again, is something I will forever be grateful for. This jacket sure is comfortable. pic.twitter.com/LsOUX2dWH1

On twitter, fellow athletes and sports commentators — including the current golf-loving occupant of the White House — reacted accordingly…
TIGER WINS FIFTH MASTERS
Very few people really know what @TigerWoods has been thru to get back to this point. So cool seeing him with Tida, Sam, Charlie, Erica and the rest of the team behind 18 green. Couldn’t be happier for him! What a great day for golf! #TheMasters
