This year's Masters will start in a few days, and the excitement is at its peak just like every year before the start of this great tournament. However, many remember with nostalgia the Masters in 2005, when Tiger Woods surprised the golf public with his hole-out chip on the 16th hole in the final round.
The 49-year-old golfer then won his fourth Masters as a 29-year-old. Although he had an extremely difficult task in front of him, the great golfer managed to manage in the right way, executing in a great way.
Golf experts and analysts reacted to his move then, somewhat in disbelief because of Tiger Woods' move. Immediately afterwards, the great golfer high-fived his caddy, Steve Williams. At the end of the tournament, Williams was full of emotions, visibly excited and happy for such a victory.

"In your life, have you seen anything like that?" CBS announcer Verne Lundquist said.
"That was the worst high-five ever,'' Williams said.
"That was on me. I was so excited, so much adrenaline, so much excitement in that moment, the arms and legs were going and the arms weren't working right.
I was somewhat embarrassed I hadn't checked it out, but I had never seen anybody on a Sunday hit it to that pin that far left."
Tiger's caddy at the time explained how everything looked at that moment, saying that the most amazing thing was the moment when Woods was looking at the green, asking him if he saw a pitch mark. However, Tiger landed the ball right on the pitch mark, causing astonishment. Such a moment, Williams admits, he will never forget.

Comparison
It seems that today's golf scene lacks the profile of a golfer that Tiger was. Although the majority makes comparisons between Scheffler and Woods, the 28-year-old American will need many more successes in order to reach such heights. Of course, Scheffler is a really dominant golfer, and he reminds a lot of Tiger, but it is important that he has a constant in the coming years.
Many believe that Scottie has the capacity to be a dominant force on the golf scene for years to come.
