This Day in Sports History: Tiger Woods Wins 2005 Masters

A 29-year-old Tiger Woods sank a birdie putt during a sudden-death playoff at Augusta National to win his fourth green jacket on April 10, 2005—15 years ago today.

Woods's victory came down to the wire as he watched a four-stroke lead disappear. He completed his final round with back-to-back bogeys, giving Chris DiMarco a chance to win on the 18th hole. After a 12-under final round, DiMarco needed to birdie to take home the victory but ended up settling for par after watching his putt lip out of the cup.

As DiMarco clinched a playoff, Augusta roared—and Woods flashed a smile.
