EXTRA TIME: Orlando Pirates coach Micho and Robert Marawa inspired by Tiger Woods glory

Tiger Woods has been an inspiration for many golfers in Africa, Asia and the Americas due to his mixed origins and he continues to inspire in South Africa.

This is despite his personal setbacks in his family life and injury troubles, surprisingly driving to glory in the Masters for the first time since 2005.

His achievement at the Augusta National in the United States is already being hailed as the greatest career comeback in the history of golf.

The 43-year-old finished 13-under par after four rounds, winning by just one stroke.

"When I tapped the [final] putt in, I don't know what I did, but I know I screamed," Woods told the media after picking up his green jacket.
