Tiger Woods has competed one of sport's greatest ever comebacks after winning his first major title in 11 years at The Masters.
The golf superstar, 43, last won a major at the 2008 US Open before his career was threatened by injury and personal problems.
He now has 15 major titles – just three behind Jack Nicklaus' all-time record of 18.

It is his fifth Masters title – his first since 2005 – and the first time Woods has ever come from behind on the final day to win a major championship.

"It's unreal for me to experience this," he said.
