The Masters Tournament 2024: Tiger Woods with 24 made cuts in a row
The second day of The Masters Tournament 2024 was a tough one for Tiger Woods: after his first round was interrupted after 13 holes due to the onset of darkness, the five-time Masters winner was forced to play 23 holes on Friday. Woods, who has been struggling with pain throughout, visibly lost his rhythm at the start of the second day and recorded two bogeys on the last five holes at the end of his first round. With a round of 73 behind him, the 48-year-old went into round two accordingly. This was an up-and-down affair for Woods, with four bogeys and four birdies, he ultimately posted a strong round of 72 to secure the cut at this year’s Masters.

Until this moment, Tiger Woods shared the record for the most cuts made at the US Masters with the two other golf legends Gary Player and Fred Couples. However, with his 24th cut in a row, Woods overtook them and is now the sole record holder. The visibly exhausted 48-year-old left the course for the clubhouse to rapturous applause and showed his will to win: “It means I have a chance going into the weekend. I’m here. I have a chance to win the golf tournament. I don’t know if they’re all going to finish today, but I’m done. I got my two rounds in. Just need some food and some caffeine, and I’ll be good to go.”
