The victory marked Woods' 15th major championship win, and his first since winning the 2008 U.S. Open at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego.Francesco Molinari, Tiger Woods and Tony Finau walk up the first fairway during final round play at the Masters in Augusta, Ga., April 14, 2019. A series of operations on his knee and back hampered him on the golf course and prompted him to step away from competition on the links in December 2015 as his ranking as the No. 1 golfer in the world plummeted to 62nd.
