ONE HARD SLOG

To have the opportunity to come back like this, you know it's probably one of the biggest wins I've ever had for sure. It's got to be right up there, with all the things I've battled through.

TIGER WOODS, on winning his fifth Green Jacket and 15th Major title, his first since 2008.

HUNTING THE GOLDEN BEAR

I felt for a long time he was going to win again. And you know, the next two Majors are at Bethpage, where he's won (2002 US Open), and Pebble Beach, where he's won (2000 US Open). So you know, he's got me shaking in my boots, guys.

JACK NICKLAUS, 18-time Major winner, had been fishing in the Bahamas but caught the end of Woods' final round.

AWESOME ROLE MODEL

For him to go through what he had gone through and to come back and win is phenomenal to say the least. It means that anything is possible if you keep at it.

JOSEPH SCHOOLING, Singapore's only Olympic champion and a big Tiger Woods fan, on what his victory meant to him as an athlete.

LEGENDARY PRAISE

Still speechless... I always knew my first trip to Augusta would be special... I had NO idea it would be this special!! Congrats @tigerwoods on your 5th!!
