Cape Town - US President Donald Trump and former president Barack Obama were among those who joined a chorus of congratulations on Sunday to Tiger Woods after he ended an 11-year major title drought with victory at the Masters.
Woods sealed his 15th Major title with a one-stroke victory at Augusta National to win a fifth Masters title in thrilling fashion.
Woods last tasted Major success at the 2008 US Open, while his last Masters title was in 2005, some 14 years ago.
Trump took to Twitter to write, "Congratulations to @TigerWoods., a truly Great Champion!" while Obama posted, "Congratulations, Tiger! To come back and win the Masters after all the highs and lows is a testament to excellence, grit, and determination."
