Some people thought it would never happen again, but Tiger Woods proved them wrong Sunday. 

The golf great captured his fifth masters — his first major title in 11 years.

It caps a remarkable comeback following years of personal scandal and injuries for Woods. 

11 years, nearly 4,000 days since his last major victory, Woods is a Masters champion once again. 

The 43-year-old was seen walking off the green to delirious cheers, and putting on the green jacket for the fifth time. 

“Yeah I did think it would come, just because of what I did last year. I knew it was in me, now did I know it was going to be this week? No. But I had a good feeling that the way I was shaping the golf ball that I was going to be in the mix,” Woods said. 

Praise came pouring in from decorated athletes, avid golfers like President Trump and former President Obama. 

Even golf great Jack Nicklaus — who still holds the record for green jackets with six — sent over a congratulations. 

The win completing an improbable return to the top after a series of personal scandals that could have been career-ending. 

“They did not do these things. I did.”

And debilitating injuries that took a toll on Woods. 

“I could barely walk. I couldn’t sit, I couldn’t lay down. I really couldn’t do much of anything.”

Woods underwent four back surgeries, including a career-saving spinal fusion in 2017 that prevented him from swinging a golf club for months. 

But the former No. 1 would not quit — and is now celebrating another win — where he won his first Major 22 years ago. 

Woods sharing an emotional moment with his 10-year-old son Charlie, mirroring the embrace he shared with his late father in 1997.

“Surreal. You know I did the same thing to my dad and now I’m the dad with my son doing the same thing, so it’s amazing how life evolves and changes. It’s hard to comprehend right now. honestly… I’m just a few hours from winning the tournament. I’m still trying to enjoy it and figure out I actually won. I know I have the green jacket on but I think it’s gonna take a little time for it to sink in,” Woods said.
