How Social Media Reacted To Tiger Woods' Masters Win

Tiger Woods collected his 15th Major title this weekend at The Masters. His last victory in a Major championship was back at the US Open in 2008, the site of his famous come-back over Rocco Mediate. Staring down a stellar set of players at the top of the leaderboard, Tiger played a near-perfect last six holes to take a two-shot lead down the last hole. He bogeyed to win by one stroke and get within three of Jack Nicklaus' Major record of 18.

A lot has been said and written about Tiger and his comeback from the lowest of lows throughout his career. Many said that there was no chance he would ever win a Major again but the 43-year-old proved everyone wrong in sublime fashion.
