Woods' final round of 2020 Masters saw him score nine points in the back nine
The 2020 tournament was actually the last PGA event Woods played prior to his near-fatal accident three months later.
His scorecard from Covid's delayed edition, won by Dustin Johnson and Woods as the defending champion is very impressive.
Woods finished T38 with a round of FIVE on his final round.
He still managed to hit a 4-over par round of 76.
This is largely due to his scoring 10 on the par three 12th hole. It was the most he has ever scored on one hole in his career.
Woods gave up at the Amen Corner midway point in 2020, sending THREE shots to the Rae's Creek water.
He returned to Augusta to practice with the hope of making a spectacular comeback.
