    If the back nine at Augusta National on Sunday (re) taught us anything, it's that this is Tiger Woods' world and we're just living in it. With a 14-year chasm between green jackets, however, it's safe to say that world has changed a lot since the Tiger last waltzed into Butler Cabin a Masters champion. How much exactly? Well, let's take a stroll down Magnolia Memory Lane, all the way back to 2005, where trucker hats dotted the standard-definition landscape, the president was still a reality TV star, and the man they call Big Cat just notched number nine into the old black belt. Perhaps then—with a little help from Brangelina, of course—we can finally put number 15 in perspective.
