Tiger Woods, arguably the greatest golfer ever, tasted victory on the PGA Tour for the first time in five years on Sunday.

The victory at the Tour Championship in Atlanta set off a frenzy across the sports world and social media as Woods notched his first win since 2013, an interim in which he underwent multiple back surgeries.

But that was nothing compared to the commotion that surrounded Woods as he walked up the fairway at the 18th hole at the East Lake Golf Club with a throng of spectators following closely behind and roaring in approval at his impending victory.
