Watch: Tiger makes 10 on No. 12 for highest score in PGA Tour career
No. 12 at Augusta National played a key role in Tiger Woods' green jacket victory in 2019, but the famous par 3 ruined the defending champion's round on Sunday.
Tiger carded a 10 on the 12th for the highest score of his PGA Tour career. Here's how the disaster unfolded:

Woods hit his tee shot short, and it quickly rolled back into the water. He then took a drop and spun his third shot back into Rae's Creek. Woods found the back bunker on his fifth shot and was forced into an awkward stance for his sixth, which he punched almost directly into the water.

Woods eventually tapped in for a 10, his highest score in a major by two shots. It's also his highest score on a par 3 in a major by four strokes.
It took Tiger Woods 23,789 holes on the PGA Tour before he made his first 10.

Incredibly, someone actually bet on Tiger making a 10 or greater at +15000.
