â€˜Tigerâ€™s win the most thrilling sports story since Leicester Cityâ€™s PL title!â€™

BetOdds Premier League Crystal Palace v Manchester City Crystal Palace Manchester City

The golf legendâ€™s 15th major victory and first in 11 years had plenty of people talking across the football world

It had been 11 years since Tiger Woods had last won a major tournament.

At 43 years old, and having had multiple back surgeries, it appeared as though Woodâ€™s last triumph at a major would be the 2008 U.S. Open.

But in the mix in the last day of the Masters, Woods drew in casual golf fans from all over the globe to tune in to see if he could do it, withÂ Manchester City managerÂ Pep Guardiola openly admitting he might watch the tournament over Liverpool-Chelsea.

Woods did not disappoint either, winning by a single stroke to claim his fifth career Masters win, along with his 15th victory in a major.

The win comes 22 years after his first win at Augusta in 1997, and 14 his since his previous triumph on the course in 2005.

Some have called it one of sportâ€™s great comebacks and stories â€“ though at least one commentator believes Leicesterâ€™s title triumph in 2015-16 tops it.

But the footballing world was certainly talking during and after seeing Tiger roar once more.

Heâ€™s done it. Heâ€™s only gone and won it. Thereâ€™s something in my eye. To use a phrase once used before about @TigerWoods â€œOh my goodness...Wow....In your life have you seen anything like that?â€ ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

Second most thrilling sporting achievement Iâ€™ve seen. The best: Leicester winning the league.

Well done Tiger Woods pic.twitter.com/1Blb85BLjB
