Here’s a by-the-numbers look at Tiger Woods’ fifth Masters victory on Sunday at Augusta National, courtesy of the Golf Channel Editorial Research Unit.
Woods’ win marks his fifth Masters title, one shy of Jack Nicklaus’ record, and 15th major win, three behind Nicklaus.
Woods joins Nicklaus as the only player to win a Masters in three different decades.
There were 3,954 days between Woods’ win Sunday and his previous major victory, at the 2008 U.S. Open. That’s the fifth longest span between major titles.

Woods made 22 birdies and nine bogeys en route to finishing 13 under. He played the par 5s in 8 under and the par 3s in 4 under.
He bogeyed the fifth hole in each round, the first time he’s done that in any of his Masters starts.
