2001 Masters: Completing the Tiger Slam

Tiger Woods completed what became known as the "Tiger Slam" by winning the 2001 Masters, which was the 65th edition of this major championship tournament.

Winner: Tiger Woods, 272

Where it was played: Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, Georgia

Tournament dates: April 5-8, 2001

Leader after first round: Chris DiMarco, 65

Leader after second round: Chris DiMarco, 134

Leader after third round: Tiger Woods, 204

Notable Notes: The "Grand Slam" is winning all four majors in the same calendar year. But Tiger Woods finished the year 2000 by winning the final three majors, then began the year 2001 by winning The Masters. That meant he held all four professional major championship trophies simultaneously. It wasn't a Grand Slam, so Tiger's feat — never before accomplished — was called the Tiger Slam.

It was Woods' second Masters victory. He pulled away from Phil Mickelson and held off David Duval in the final round.
