2019
It shouldn't come as a surprise that everyone loves a good underdog story. Underdog and Tiger Woods might not go hand in hand at Augusta National, but they did in 2019. Whether you factor in his off-the-course struggles and injuries, Woods wasn't expected to ever capture another Green Jacket. Woods went above and beyond the odds to secure his fifth career Green Jacket, ending on 18 with a hug to his son Charlie Woods. In what might be the last Major win of Tiger's iconic career, it's one where he defied the odds and turned back the clock for one week.

2002
It's hard to come out and rank one of these wins as the least memorable, but 2002 sticks out for us in that category. It's always memorable when Tiger Woods wins The Masters, but there weren't a lot of compelling traits that made this victory stick out. Tiger didn't have a strong start in 2002 but played strong golf on Saturday and Sunday, while others struggled in the spotlight.

2005
The 2005 Masters was memorable because of an iconic chip on 16 during the final round on Sunday. You can make a reasonably strong case that this was the best golf shot that Tiger Woods has hit during his impeccable career. Woods didn't do himself any favors in the 2005 Masters, starting with a 74 in the opening round. Tiger faced Chris DiMarco in a playoff during the 2005 Masters, which saw Woods birdie the opening hole to capture his fourth career Green Jacket.

2001
Maybe this one sticks out more here because of the final pairing on Sunday at The Masters in 2001. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson's rivalry is well documented, and the iconic duo found themselves heading into Sunday sitting at the top of the leaderboard. Although it wasn't a compelling showdown between the two down the stretch, it still sticks out when looking back at the meaning of this victory for Woods over twenty years later.

Tiger Woods Odds to Miss the Cut: -126
1997
The 1997 Masters put the golf world on a completely different trajectory. Tiger Woods put together one of the most dominant performances ever, winning the illustrious Green Jacket by 12 strokes. The opening round didn't start well for Woods, who shot a 40 before dialing in and never looking back. This victory at The Masters changed plenty about the iconic course at Augusta, with the fear being that Tiger's elite length off the tee wouldn't give him a consistent advantage.
