How Social Media Reacted To Tiger Woods’ 80th PGA Tour Win
It was vintage Tiger Woods at East Lake as the 14-time major winner sealed his 80th PGA Tour title in style, dominating down the stretch just like old days.
Woods looked to have a tough afternoon ahead of him with both Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose lurking, but a near-faultless round on the testing East Lake was enough to seal a two stroke victory as everyone around him fell away.
In scenes unlike anything seen in recent memory, the crowds swarmed both he and McIlroy coming down 18 and chants of ‘TIGER, TIGER, TIGER’ echoed around the course as fans witnessed history.
Social media went crazy, with golfers, celebrities, fans and just about everyone chiming in after a truly memorable day.

I think I’ve seen it all now. Justin, Tiger, and the scenes at 18 in Atlanta. These scenes will stay with me for some time to come. I suspect many of you felt the same. An historic day in our sport. We shall connect again in Paris. Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
Back in the day we all thought he was superhuman and he knew he was different to everyone else.. then life happened, we/he realised he wasn’t and he had normal thoughts and problems like us..a superhuman no more…and yet here he is.. playing like a superhero again..Tiger Woods
And…… the greatest of all time @TigerWoods won his first event in 5 years after two spinal fusion surgeries . The reason we all picked up a golf club is back in action and the scenes are incredible
Saw it first hand at Tampa.. @TigerWoods has been back for awhile.. He just likes being dramatic!! Awesome to watch that walk up 18.. And thank you Tiger.. My family thanks you. ..Every PGA Tour player thanks you.. Look forward to No 81!!
