Sunday at the Masters started well before the back nine, even if it was played earlier than normal due to impending thunderstorms. With Tiger Woods in the final group of the day, along with leader Francesco Molinari and Tony Finau, #GolfTwitter was primed for an unforgettable day in golf.

The Masters Tournament generated 5.67 million interactions across social media (the highest engaged TV program, even topping the Game of Thrones season premiere!), according to Nielsen Social Content Ratings.

On this Masters Sunday, we were all golf fans — and everyone from Tom Brady to Barack Obama and Jack Nicklaus took to Twitter to cheer on and congratulate Tiger Woods on his 15th career major championship win.
