Through the years: Remembering every Masters Tiger Woods has played
When thinking of Augusta National, what is the first thing that comes to mind?
Is it the manicured grounds, the famous Masters logo, the excitement of tradition and competition? Or is it one of the golfers most synonymous with victory in Augusta, Georgia?
Tiger Woods has played in 24 Masters Tournaments and totaled five victories. The only golfer to have won more at Augusta National Golf Club is Jack Nicklaus, who has six green jackets.
Beginning in 1995 as an amateur and through with his fifth Masters win in 2019, we document each of Woods’ 24 Masters appearances with a photo and his result.

One of the most improbable comebacks during Woods’ career, Tiger returned to Augusta National for his first tournament since a car accident 14 month prior nearly ended his life. He shot 71 in the first round and followed it up with a 74, but rounds of 78 on the weekend helped him finish T-47, but he made the cut for the 22nd straight time.
