Even the former President of the USA, Barack Obama tweeted about Woods’ incredible performance. Notably, Woods was going through many personal problems in his life before that Masters title win. Moreover, his last Major Championship came back in 2008 at the US Open, almost 10 years ago. In the final, he shot two-under 70, which was truly exceptional and reminded everyone of his previous self. With that win, he won his 15th Major title in his professional golf career.
