Which major did Tiger Woods win in 2019 for his first major title in 11 years?

Tiger Woods won the 2019 Masters Tournament for his first major championship in 11 years. His victory at Augusta National was one of the most celebrated comebacks in sports history.

The tournament took place from April 11 to 14, 2019, in Augusta, Georgia. Woods finished at 13 under par with a four-round total of 275, defeating Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka, and Xander Schauffele by one stroke. It was his fifth Masters title and his 15th major championship overall.

Woods’s previous major victory had come at the 2008 U.S. Open, so the gap was nearly 11 years. Injuries and major back surgeries had kept him from consistently competing at the highest level. The 2019 win also ended a 14-year wait between his fourth and fifth Masters victories.

A common mix-up is calling this his first Masters win in 11 years. More precisely, it was his first major in 11 years and his first Masters in 14 years. The tournament’s familiar prize, the green jacket, marked Woods’s return to the top of golf.
