Tiger Woods Struggles at The Masters, Sets Record for Consecutive Cuts
Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods faced a tough final round at Augusta National, finishing the week on 16 over after carding a 77. Despite breaking the record for consecutive cuts at The Masters, Woods also recorded the worst major round of his career during a challenging week.
Woods, who made a record 24th consecutive cut at Augusta National, struggled with scores of 73 and 72 before a disastrous 82 on Saturday. Despite the setback, Woods battled through the final day with the support of his son Charlie, ultimately finishing on 16 over for the tournament.
The 15-time major champion remains focused on playing a full major season, with his schedule decimated by injuries in recent years. This week marked the first time he completed 72 holes in a major since 2022.
Playing alongside amateur Neal Shipley, Woods faced difficulties on Sunday, including a triple-bogey on the par-four fifth hole. Despite the challenges, Woods continued to fight through the back nine, receiving a warm reception from the Augusta patrons after his final hole.
Looking ahead, Woods is targeting a return at the PGA Championship in May at Valhalla. His future schedule remains uncertain, but Woods is determined to prepare for a full major season, with plans to do his homework for upcoming tournaments at Pinehurst, Valhalla, and Troon.
Despite the setbacks, Woods’ determination and resilience continue to impress fans and fellow players alike. As he looks towards future tournaments, the golfing world eagerly anticipates his return to top form.
