Today, it's time to examine the 2005 Masters and the significant milestones that occurred at Augusta National Golf Club that year.
Who won the 2005 Masters?
Tiger Woods birdies the first playoff hole to beat Chris DiMarco and win his fourth green jacket. He joins Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win at least four Masters titles. He had 16 birdies in the second and third rounds, tied for the most in the middle two rounds of all-time. He tied a Masters record with seven straight birdies, starting on No. 7, during the third round. He was seven strokes behind after the opening round. It's also the year of Tiger's famous chip-in on the 16th hole for birdie: "In your life have you seen anything like that."
