Tiger Woods struggles to 10-over 82 at The Masters: Watch Featured Groups on Sunday
Tiger Woods, a fifteen-time major champion, faced a tough day at The Masters as he struggled to a 10-over 82 during the third round at Augusta National. This marked the worst major round of his professional career, setting an unwanted record for the golfing legend.
After battling through a marathon Friday to make a record-breaking 24th consecutive cut at Augusta National, Woods had high hopes going into the weekend. However, his chances quickly faded as he dropped six shots in four holes on his front nine, leading to a disappointing round.
Woods’ struggles continued throughout the day, with a front-nine score of 42 – the worst of his Masters career. Despite posting his first birdie of the round at the fifth hole, he was unable to recover and finished tied-52nd out of the 60 players who made the cut.
Reflecting on his performance, Woods admitted, “I was not hitting it very good or putting well. I missed a lot of putts. Easy, makeable putts – I missed a lot of them.” Despite the tough day, Woods remains determined to finish the tournament on Sunday, with his team working to get him physically ready for the final day.
Former coach Butch Harmon expressed disappointment in Woods’ round but emphasized the importance of having the golfing legend back at The Masters. Fans can watch Featured Groups live on Sunday from 3pm via the red button or by logging in to the Sky Sports app, with full coverage starting at 6.30pm.
