Tiger Woods won his fourth green jacket at the 2005 Masters, defeating Chris DiMarco in a playoff. Despite efforts to "Tiger proof" the course, Woods owned Augusta National: The victory was his fourth in nine years. At 29 years old, Woods seemed like a lock to surpass Jack Nicklaus' tournament record of six titles.
Eleven years later, Woods is still seeking his fifth Masters conquest. He's come close since 2005, finishing inside the top 6 on seven occasions. Alas, injury sidelined Woods for the 2014 tournament, and he was an afterthought in 2015 (t-17).

Never count out Tiger Woods.
