In one of the most dramatic and unlikely sports stories in recent memory, Tiger Woods has climbed back up to the top of the throne.

Woods finished the final round of the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club with a -13 score, winning the tournament for the fifth time in his career.

It was his first win at Augusta since 2005, 14 years ago.

Woods, who is currently ranked 12th in the PGA Tour rankings, captured a major tournament win for the first time since 2008.

After emerging as one of the top players in the history of golf in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Woods stormed his way to 14 major tournament wins.

However, in the late 2000s, injury and personal scandal began to take a toll on Woods and his career.

Woods appeared finished for the better part of this decade after undergoing four back surgeries and going to jail after being arrested for a DUI.

However, after some modest success in smaller tournaments and regained strength helped him start to regain his form, Woods finally capped a comeback for the ages on Sunday.

At 43 years old, he became the second-oldest player to win the Masters.

The Green Jacket is finally his again, 14 years later.
