Where does Tiger’s least feat rank in the history books?

Tiger Woods’s remarkable win at The Masters in Augusta was noteworthy for a number of reasons, not least as it confirmed his astonishing comeback from his well-documented problems on and off the golf course.

Tiger Woods is no stranger to the record books in golf and his win in Augusta saw him notch up another couple of golfing milestones. Remarkably, considering this was the 15^th major win of his career, it is the first time the American former world number one has come from behind on the last day of a major to win after he trailed Italian Francesco Molinari by two shots at the start of the final round.

Tiger’s win is also a boost for the older golfers on the tour as he became the second oldest winner of the Masters at the age of 43 years three days and 15 days. The oldest ever winner of the famous green jacket remains Jack Nicklaus whose last Masters victory came in 1986 when he was 46 years two months and 23 days.

Woods and Nicklaus were established champions by the time they set those most recent records, but the accolade of being the oldest first-time winner of the Masters goes to another American Mark O’Meara who slipped on the green jacket at the age of 41 in 1998.

The oldest winner of any major in the modern era was Julius Boros who became US PGA champion in 1968 at the age of 48 years four months and 18 days.
