On this day in sports history: Tiger Woods claimed his fourth Masters title with one of golf’s most iconic shots.

Legendary moment! 

On April 10, 2005, golf witnessed a moment for the ages as Tiger Woods captured his fourth Masters title at Augusta National. This victory, part of "On This Day in Sports History," is best remembered for an extraordinary chip-in on the 16th hole during the final round. 

With the pressure mounting, Woods delivered a shot that landed beyond the pin, then rolled back down the slope toward the cup. 

The ball paused agonizingly on the edge, showcasing the Nike logo in a perfect TV moment, before tumbling in for a birdie. 

The crowd erupted, and the shot became an instant classic, replayed countless times in highlight reels.

At just 29 years old, Woods added this win to his growing legend, bringing his major championship tally to nine. The 2005 Masters wasn’t just about that one shot, though. 

Woods had to battle through a playoff against Chris DiMarco, ultimately sealing the win with clutch play and steely resolve. 

This triumph underscored his dominance in an era when he seemed untouchable, blending skill, flair, and mental toughness. 

For many fans, it’s a peak memory of Woods’ career, though his later resilience, like the 2019 Masters comeback, sparks debate about his finest hour.
