This weekend should have seen the playing of the 84th Masters at Augusta – the first men’s major of the year.
Last year, Tiger Woods completed one of the most remarkable sporting comebacks to claim his first major in 11 years, a 15th overall and fifth Green Jacket.
With the coronavirus pandemic causing this year’s tournament to be postponed until 12-15 November, BBC Sport is giving you an Augusta fix this Sunday.
BBC Two will show The Masters 2019: Tiger Roars Again at 17:00 BST.
The programme will also be available via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website.
Presented by Eilidh Barbour, the hour-long programme briefly charts Woods’ rise to greatness and the fall that followed. The infidelities and apology, the struggle with back injuries and being arrested, and then, with his career seemingly fading away, the final surgery on his back that led to the redemption of last year’s sensational Augusta victory.
It was a victory that nudged him one closer to Jack Nicklaus’ records of 18 majors and six Masters titles.
Nicklaus was 46 when he won his final Green Jacket, which was also his final major. Woods was 43 when he won last year.
