Relive all the action from the final day at The Masters where Tiger Woods has won his first major in 11 years to complete one of the greatest comebacks sport has ever seen.

Woods went into the opening day two shots off overnight leader Francesco Molinari, with the Italian sitting clear on -13. But as the reigning Open champion wilted under the pressure of leading at Augusta, Woods surged into the lead to move clear on -14 with two holes to play. Despite the chasing pack of Dustin Johnson, Xander Schauffele and Brroks Koepka all reaching the clubhouse on -12, there was no stopping Woods.

Waling up the 18th to one of the biggest ovations Augusta has ever witnessed, Woods saw playing partners Molinari and Tony Finau whole out to complete their strong performances, and despite failing to make par on the last to drop to -13, he sealed possibly the most incredible victory seen at The Masters. Follow the live reaction below.

We're just waiting for the presentation ceremony, when Tiger Woods will get his fifth, repeat fifth Green Jacket!

This is what it means, this is the emotion flowing through Tiger Woods!

Here's Tiger's thoughts at the presentation:

"I was just trying to plug my way round and then all of a sudden I had the lead. Coming up 18, it was just trying to make a five.

"I don't know what I did, but I screamed. To have my kids there - it's come full circle. My dad was here in '97 and now I'm a dad with two kids here.

"Last year I was just very lucky to be playing again. Now to be the champion, 22 years [since his first win] is a long time. My mum was here and she was there in '97 as well."

More from Tiger:

"I was as patient as I've been in a number of years. Kept control of my emotions, my shots. To see that board, it was a who's who, and it all flipped at 12.

"All the different scenarios started flying around. It was an amazing buzz out there trying to figure out what was going on. I kind of liked it."

And this is the moment,

Tiger Woods stands grinning wildly as defending Champion Patrick Reed puts the Green Jacket on him.

It's the fifth time this has happened and it's a very special moment.

15 majors down. 3 to go to catch Jack Nicklaus.
