Tiger Woods has admitted his delight that his children managed to see him win a tournament after he completed one of the greatest comebacks in sport by claiming the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta on Sunday night.
Chasing a first win since 2013 and the 80th PGA Tour title of his career, Woods took a three-shot lead over Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy into the last day at East Lake and the 14-time major winner was never in serious danger of getting caught.
Thousands of Woods fans spilled onto the 18th fairway to follow their idol to the green. In an interview after the celebrations, Woods admitted his delight that his children, daughter Sam (11) and son Charlie (9), saw him become a champion.

'I think they understand a little bit of what dad does now,' Woods said.
'I hadn't won any tournaments which they can remember, so I think this will be a little bit different for them.
'To be able to have shared what I did with them at The Open this year, I had a chance, I had the lead. They felt it, that atmosphere.
'They know what their dad can do on a golf course now. It's not what I used to be able to do. A lot of times they equated golf to pain because every time I did it, I would hurt, and it would cause me more pain.
'And so now they're seeing a little bit of joy and seeing how much fun it is for me to be able to do this again.'

The 42-year-old was warmly embraced by his playing partner Rory McIlroy after winning for the first time in 1,877 days. Woods held his arms aloft to spark rapturous scenes among a record crowd.
'I just loved it out there, the fight and the grind but I was trying hard not to cry at one point,' he said. 'At the beginning of the year this was a tall order but I proved I could progress and put it together.'
Since contending for The Open in July, Woods has got better with virtually every tournament. His stroke average for his last five events has been a shade over 67. It's 120 miles from here to Augusta National and now he's a winner again, he's going to be short odds to return to the majors trail at the Masters next April.
First, though, it's the Ryder Cup. 'Now this is going to be one long flight overseas that I am going to enjoy,' said Woods, before making his way to the airport.
The other big winner was world No 1 Justin Rose, who needed to birdie the par five 18th hole to win the $10 million bonus for the FedEx Cup - and gutsily managed it.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
