Tiger Woods Has Won 5 Green Jackets At The Masters...

Tiger Woods' historic Masters Tournament wins are back in the spotlight as golf fans celebrate his legacy ahead of the 2026 competition. The 15-time major champion has claimed the iconic green jacket five times, most recently in 2019 with one of the greatest comebacks in sports history.

Woods first won at Augusta National in 1997 at age 21, becoming the youngest Masters champion. He added victories in 2001, 2002, and 2005 before his emotional 2019 triumph following multiple back surgeries. Only Jack Nicklaus (6) has more Masters titles.

The topic is trending today as CBS prepares to air a new documentary about Woods' 1997 breakthrough win. Golf analysts are also debating whether the 50-year-old could contend again after his limited 2026 schedule.

Augusta National awards each Masters champion a custom-fitted green jacket, which they keep for one year before returning it to the club. Winners may only wear their jacket on club grounds afterward, though replicas are permitted elsewhere.

Woods' five green jackets represent nearly a quarter of all Masters tournaments played during his professional career. His 1997 victory by 12 strokes remains the largest margin in tournament history. The achievement sparked a golf boom that transformed the sport's popularity.

Fans on social media are sharing favorite Woods moments from Augusta, particularly his chip-in on the 16th hole in 2005 and his tearful embrace with his children after the 2019 win. The Masters begins Thursday with Woods yet to confirm his participation.
