Tiger Woods bridged a 1876 day gap on Sunday night as he won his first tournament since claiming the WGC Bridgestone title in 2013.
It was pure bedlam as Woods made his way to the 18th green with a two-shot lead over Billy Horschel. A huge crowd made their way up the fairway in anticipation of Woods winning his 80th PGA Tour title.
"I just didn't want to get run over! I can't run anymore!" Woods joked to NBC regarding the scene.
It was an emotional moment for the 42-year-old who admitted to tearing up on the last.
I knew I had a two-shot lead playing the last hole. When I hit it in the bunker, it was like, 'OK, I've left it in the correct spot.' When I hit it on the green, I could hang in it from there. Joey [caddie Joe LaCava] and I gave a high-five and started celebrating.
Rory's tapping out and all of a sudden it started hitting me that I was going to win the tournament. I started tearing up a little bit.
I just can't believe I've pulled this off after what the season's gone through. It's been tough. I've had a not-so-easy last couple of years. I've worked my way back and I couldn't have done it without the help of everyone around me.
Some of the players I saw after on the 18th green, they knew what I was struggling with. It was really special to see them there. It's just hard to believe I've won the Tour Championship.
It really is [emotional]. Coming down to the last hole, I didn't know that Rosey [Justin Rose] had won the FedEx Cup. I thought, 'I might still have a chance here.'
