Tiger Woods, 29, won his fourth green jacket on the first hole of a playoff with Chris DiMarco. Rain was a factor the whole week, and delayed much of the play.[1] The purse was $7.0 million with a winner's share of $1.26 million.[2] It was the ninth of Woods' fifteen major championships.
This Masters was the last as competitors for three former champions: Tommy Aaron (1973), Billy Casper (1970), and six-time winner Jack Nicklaus.
Ryan Moore was low amateur at 287 (−1), the best score by an amateur since 1978, and earned an exemption to the 2006 tournament.
Jerry Pate, a non-playing invitee, won the 46th Par-3 contest on Wednesday with a five-under 22.[3]
