On this date in 1997, Tiger Woods wins the Masters the first time.
On April 13, 1997, 21-year-old Tiger Woods wins the prestigious Masters Tournament by a record 12 strokes in Augusta, Georgia. It was Woods’ first victory in one of golf’s four major championships—the U.S. Open, the British Open, the PGA Championship and the Masters—and the greatest performance by a professional golfer in more than a century. It also made him the youngest golfer by two years to win the Masters.

There's no greater performance in history than Tiger at the 2000 US Open.

Remember watching that in the dorms. If a tv was on, it was on Tiger.
