The Masters: Tiger Woods wins his first major in 11 years and fans erupt on Twitter

Tiger Woods secured his first major since 2008 with a win at The Masters on the Augusta National on Sunday. He completed a tremendous comeback out of controversy and injury. And finally, Tiger is back.

Upon sinking his final put, Woods flashed a fist pump, then threw up his arms in celebration with a huge smile. As he left the course, he stopped to see his kids, who embraced their father after the victory in the same place Woods embraced his father after another Masters win.

4,000 days since his last major and you can see the impact he still has on the sport, man. Look at everyone there, chanting his name, even social media. This is a special moment.

I can’t really put into words what we’re seeing here. 2nd oldest Masters Champion. 15th Major. Never thought he’d play again. Many didn’t want him to succeed. All of it. Young guys wanted him, they got him. #masters

Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer the world has ever seen, has now completed one of the greatest comebacks the world has ever seen.

11 years, 3 back surgeries, and hundreds of mortifying headlines between Major championships, and he’s back on the top of the mountain.

The first time Tiger won the Masters, he hugged his dad. This time, Tiger will get to hug his son and daughter. That's cool as hell. #themasters
