Tiger Woods owned the week at East Lake. He won the Tour Championship — his first win in more than five years — for the 80th victory of his illustrious career.

While Tiger started the week significantly behind in the FedEx Cup race, he ended up in second place. In fact, a birdie on the 18th hole from Justin Rose in the penultimate group was the only thing that kept Tiger from a FedEx Cup title.
As we’ve seen all year, nobody moves the needle like Tiger. So, we were not surprised to see Twitter go bonkers over his first win in such a long period of time.
There are no words. 🐅
We're witnessing history.#LiveUnderPar pic.twitter.com/B7ctiJNFkU

TIGER WOODS MAKE EVERYBODY HUMBLE

Tiger drove it 348 yards at the last hole en route to his 80th PGA Tour win.
This time last year, hitting a driver more than 0 yards would have been a big step forward.
