Donald Trump, Barack Obama, Serena Williams among those on Twitter united in joy as Tiger wins Masters
It finally happened. After a fall from grace, many surgeries and even more question marks, Tiger Woods is a champion at Augusta National again. The fifth green jacket just might prove to be the toughest — if not the most meaningful — he’s ever won.
Twitter wasn’t around in 2005, the last time Woods won at the Masters, but thankfully for us all, Tiger gave the world a glimpse at how united sports fans would’ve been if social media were around in his heyday.
As Woods clinched another major title, Twitter was giving a rare standing ovation.
"THE RETURN TO GLORY!"

Tiger Woods, the greatest golfer the world has ever seen, has now completed one of the greatest comebacks the world has ever seen.
11 years, 3 back surgeries, and hundreds of mortifying headlines between Major championships, and he’s back on the top of the mountain.— nick wright (@getnickwright) April 14, 2019
