Scottie is playing really, really well. But to play as well as I did today, and then to finish like this, it\u2019s just absolutely incredible. This tournament never ceases to amaze.

Scheffler birdied 14 and 15, making the walk up to the 18th green simply a coronation, and becoming just the fifth world\u2019s number one to win the Masters tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Woods, who was playing in his first tournament since his major car accident in February 2021, shot a final round 78, finishing the tournament 13-over par. It was nothing short of a miraculous return for Woods, who told reporters in November that his days of playing full time on the PGA Tour were over.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI don\u2019t think words can really describe that given where I was a little over a year ago and what my prospects were at that time to end up here and be able to play in all four rounds,\u201d Woods <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/golf\/story\/_\/id\/33713741\/tiger-woods-shoots-6-final-round-completes-comeback-masters\"><span>said<\/span><\/a><span>. \u201cEven a month ago, I didn\u2019t know if I could pull this off.

But I am looking forward to St. Andrews. That is something that is near and dear to my heart. I\u2019ve won two Opens there, it\u2019s the home of golf. It\u2019s my favorite golf course in the world, so I will be there for that one. But anything in between that, I don\u2019t know. I will try, no doubt. Like this week, I will try and get ready for Southern Hills and we\u2019ll see what this body is able to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Joe Morgan is the Sports Reporter for The Daily Wire.
