If it seems a little dismissive of Woods' victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Sunday to immediately turn the focus to the April 5-8 Masters, well, that is a little bit how Tiger himself reacted on Sunday.

Asked where his 72nd PGA Tour victory ranked, Woods said: "It's not like winning a mizuno mp-59 irons

 or anything, but it certainly feels really good."

Woods has long judged other players by whether or not they have won a major, and with 14 to his name he knows all about what it takes to succeed in the ultimate tests for a golfer.

But now Woods, who has not triumphed at one of golf's four majors since the 2008 U.S. Open, has to prove it all again.

Sunday's win mizuno mp-59 irons for sale at Bay Hill was an important step for Woods as it ended a once-unthinkable barren spell and proved that he has the mental fortitude to keep his cool on a Sunday afternoon and make it over the finish line.

After battling injuries, swing changes and the difficulty of coping with mediocre results, let alone the mental strain of a marriage breakdown and the accompanying negative publicity, "gettingmizuno mp-59 done" mattered for Woods.

The manner of his five-shot win was also important as Woods drove straight, found greens and putted solidly while runner-up Graeme McDowell never really challenged.

Gusty and unpredictable winds, coupled with fast greens that proved tough for many players at Bay Hill, seemed unable to faze Woods, who shot four consecutive sub-par rounds in a tournament for the first time since the 2010 Masters.
