The NFL community couldn't contain its excitement Sunday as Tiger Woods rallied at Augusta National Golf Club to win his fifth career Masters title.
Woods entered the final round in second place, two shots off the pace. He lost a stroke back early but overcame the deficit down the stretch to capture his fifth green jacket and first major trophy since 2008.
NFL stars reacted on social media during Woods' ascension to first place:
Nobody holds the entire viewing audience of their sport in the palm of their hand the way Tiger Woods does. It’s truly incredible. #TheMasters
