Aged 43, Woods became the second-oldest Masters winner, trailing only Jack Nicklaus who won at 46 in 1986.
He also set a record for the longest gap between Masters victory – 14 years. He won his last Masters in 2005, breaking the 13-year record of South Africa’s Gary Player who won his second Augusta crown in 1961 and his third in 1974.
In a statement on Twitter, Woods said:
I can’t thank my family, friends and fans enough for their support. Having my family by my side today is something I will never forget. To not only be able to play again, but to be able to win again, is something I will forever be grateful for. This jacket sure is comfortable
