"That's something I'm very lucky to have this opportunity to be able to play, and not only that, to play in the Masters and to have this type of reception," Woods said, per ESPN. "I mean, the place was electric. I hadn't played like this since '19, when I won, because in '20 we had COVID and we had no one here, and I didn't play last year [when attendance was limited]. So to have the patrons fully out and to have that type of energy out there was awesome to feel."

After his final round, he posted on Instagram thanking fans for their love.

"I didn't play my best out there, but just to have the support and appreciation from all the fans, I don't think words can describe that. Congratulations to @scottie.scheffler on an outstanding win. It's been a special run."
