Having won the Masters Tournament five times, the 48-year-old golfer has been one of the most celebrated players at the Augusta National. He is just behind Jack Nicklaus, who has won the Green Jacket six times. Besides, he also shares the record for making the most consecutive cuts at the event. Last year, he made his 23rd straight cut, joining Gary Player and Fred Couples.

Woods has won 82 PGA Tour titles in his career and is looking to get past Sam Snead as the solo-winningest player on the tour. With 15 major championship titles, he is three titles behind Jack Nicklaus as the most successful player in the majors. The 2020 Zozo Championship was his last triumph on the PGA Tour, and he hasn't won a major since the 2019 Masters.

When did Tiger Woods win the Masters last time?

The fifteen-time major champion last won the Masters in 2019. He beat Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Xander Schauffele by one stroke. This was his fifth green jacket and first major in 11 years.

At the age of 43, Tiger Woods became the second-oldest golfer to win at Augusta National. Jack Nicklaus holds the record for being the oldest player to win the Green Jacket.

Since winning his fifteenth major, Woods hasn't made a top-ten finish at the major championship. The T21 finish at the US Open 2019 has been his best result. Since then, he has missed cuts three times and withdrawn twice at the majors.
