1997: First place (-18)
Woods made history on so many levels. The 21-year-old won the championship. He opened a nine-shot lead after three rounds, and finished with a tournament record 270 (-18), which was a record 12 strokes ahead of second-place finisher Tom Kite. It was an all-time iconic performance in the sport that launched Woods into super-stardom.
2001: First place (-16)
Woods and Phil Mickelson went head-to-head through three rounds, with Woods holding a one-shot lead at 12 under. Woods shot 4-under par in the final round to hold off David Duval, who led after a birdie on No. 15 before falling short by two strokes.
2005: First place (-12)
Woods won his fourth green jacket at a water-logged Augusta where there were several delays during the week. Chris DiMarco was 13 under and led Woods by four strokes heading into the final round, but Woods made a charge with seven straight birdies in the third round to set up a memorable Sunday. That round produced Woods' famous chip-in on No. 16, but it would take a playoff with DiMarco to decide the winner. That's when Woods drilled a birdie putt to clinch his fourth victory at the tournament.
