Ranking Tiger's Masters performances: 15-9

In this three-part series, theScore will rank all 22 of Tiger Woods' Masters performances.

In part one, Tiger Woods' rare disappointing Masters results were highlighted. But those were few and far between, as the five-time green jacket winner recorded a top-five finish at Augusta in 12 of his 22 appearances.

Here are Tiger's performances that left fans wanting more.

15. 2015 (T17)

The 2015 Masters coincided with the peak of Tiger's back ailments and also came at a time when he had developed short-game yips and looked completely unrecognizable on the course. He missed a cut and withdrew in two events leading into the week, yet Tiger somehow was inside the top five after Round 3 before fading Sunday. It was the only Masters he played in a four-year stretch.

14. 2009 (T6)

Woods was never really a threat at the 2009 Masters, but a final-round 68 vaulted him into a tie for sixth. It was his first major championship appearance since winning the 2008 U.S. Open on a broken leg with torn knee ligaments. Despite the forgettable result, it was a valiant effort given the circumstances.

13. 1998 (T8)

Woods turned in a solid title defense in 1998, but he failed to post a round in the 60s to truly put himself in contention. This will be the year forever remembered as the time a 58-year-old Jack Nicklaus beat the 22-year-old defending champion - and likely the last time Tiger rocked a red hat.

12. 2000 (5th)

Woods went 7-under on the weekend of the 2000 Masters to secure a fifth-place result. Perhaps one of the least memorable results at Augusta during Tiger's heyday, it preceded the most historic run of major championship golf in the modern era.

11. 2006 (T3)

Tiger had a chance to track down Phil Mickelson during his title defense in 2006 but couldn't muster the run required Sunday. He was only two back going into the final round but sat 1-over through 12 holes before a flurry of late birdies made his finish appear better than it actually was.

10. 2010 (T4)

Tiger made his return to golf at the 2010 Masters following a three-month layoff stemming from his infamous Thanksgiving night car crash. With expectations at an all-time low as he began what many consider the second chapter of his career, Woods showed few signs of rust but wound up five shots behind Mickelson.

9. 2013 (T4)

Woods was coming off back-to-back victories heading into the 2013 Masters and somewhat delivered on lofty expectations with a top-five showing. However, his performance will be better remembered for a controversial drop he took during the second round that many thought should have led to his disqualification. Instead, he was handed a two-stroke penalty after officials decided against kicking him out of the tournament.
