Players Championship Honors Tiger Woods with 'Better Than Most' Flag on No. 17

Following his involvement in a major car crash in February, Tiger Woods was honored at the Players Championship on Saturday.

The flag on the 17th hole paid tribute to one of the most famous and memorable moments of Woods' illustrious career:

It featured Tiger's initials, as well as the quote "Better than most" along with the date March 24, 2001.

It was on March 24, 2001, that Woods sunk a remarkable 60-foot putt on the famous island green at TPC Sawgrass during the third round of that year's Players Championship.

Gary Koch was on the call for NBC and said "Better than most" multiple times as the ball traversed its way through multiple breaks and then into the cup.
