No, it wasn’t just a dream.
Tiger Woods DID win the Tour Championship to secure his 80th PGA Tour title and, in doing so, complete one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history.

• IN PICS – How Tiger Woods completed one of sport’s greatest comebacks
Naturally, the magnitude of what Woods accomplished at East Lake wasn’t lost on the world, with many famous faces rushing to social media to congratulate the 14-time major champion.
Here are just some of the best tweets and social media reaction, starting with his fellow pros:
My congratulations to @TigerWoods on winning the @playofffinale! I am very happy for him and extremely proud of him. Tiger has worked very hard to get to this place, and has played very well all season. @PGATOUR

I never dreamed @TigerWoods could come back and swing the way he has, after surgery. I think you could argue he’s swinging better than he has ever in his life. He has played fantastically!

I think throughout this year some of @TigerWoods' issues were between his ears, as he had to remember how to win again. Tiger has been close, almost there. You knew he was going to win soon, and this week he did it.

Took this by 18 green today... there’s NOBODY in this sport that generates that kind of buzz and excitement. At least they didn’t last year for @XSchauffele and I 😂😂 #holypictures pic.twitter.com/CiIJp6pDXT
