What happened in the United States, at the Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday was phenomenal, historic and inspirational – a truly human story in its grandeur and implications. With a single, final stroke, and a hard stare, Tiger Woods won the Masters, his fifth since he won the first in 1997, 22 years ago. History was made. This was his 81stPGA tour win. His first major title since the 2008 US Open. His fourth Masters green jacket was in 2005. As he wore the jacket again on Sunday, 14 years later, he said: “It fits”. Indeed Tiger, “it fits.”

Organizers of the tournament – which brings together some of Europe’s top teams in a series of pre-season friendlies around the world – have reportedly ensured that Juventus’ games are played in Asia, rather than the US, where they appeared three times last summer.
