Tiger Woods has cemented one of the greatest comeback stories in sporting history, winning the US Masters by one shot.

It caps off a remarkable comeback for Woods, whose life and career unravelled through a mixture of personal problems and a crippling back injury.

At one point, doctors feared he may not be able to walk again, let alone play golf.

His 81st PGA victory sees move No.6 in the world, less than two years after being ranked 1199th.

Woods’s fifth green jacket also sees his career purse rise to a staggering $US118,309,570.

Many Australians were robbed of seeing the incredible victory by bad weather, with the regular 9am (AEST) finish pushed forward to 4.30am.
