| From Tiger at the Masters to sanctuary cities, here's what to know from the weekend. |  | | | | | | | | | | | After winning the Masters, Tiger's back on top | | Tiger Woods topped the sports world Sunday, winning the Masters at Augusta National with an impressive final round. It was the 15th major championship of Woods' career and his first since 2008.

As he powered his way to a steady 2-under-par 70 on Sunday, his competitors – many of whom grew up watching and idolizing Woods – slowly fell by the wayside and Woods made up a two-stroke deficit heading into the day. Nike even dropped a new advertisement to honor Woods' victory. | Trump weighs 'options' to send migrants to sanctuary cities | | President Donald Trump "likes the idea" of busing migrants who cross the border illegally to so-called sanctuary cities, and the administration is looking into ways to put the plan into practice , White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Sunday.
