Tiger Woods may not be the dominant force he once was on the golf course, but his recent achievement at Augusta National proves he still has what it takes to compete at the highest level. Woods set a new Masters record by making the cut for the 24th consecutive time, surpassing the previous record held by Fred Couples and Gary Player.
Despite facing some challenges during his rounds, including a slow start and a roller coaster front nine, Woods managed to secure his spot for the weekend. His streak of consecutive cuts at the Masters began in 1997, the same year he won the tournament by a record 12 strokes.
Woods' remarkable consistency at Augusta National is highlighted by the fact that he has only missed the cut once, back in 1996. His closest active competitor, Adam Scott, saw his streak of 14 straight cuts come to an end this year.
With other top players like Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler, and Viktor Hovland likely missing the cut, Woods' achievement stands out even more. The all-time record for most cuts made at Augusta belongs to Jack Nicklaus with 37, placing Woods' 25 cuts in seventh place on the list.
Reflecting on his enduring success at Augusta National, Woods expressed gratitude for the opportunity to compete at the prestigious course since he was 19 years old. While he currently sits tied for 24th place and eight shots behind the leader, Woods remains optimistic about his chances of contending for a sixth green jacket.
As the tournament progresses, Woods' impressive record of consecutive cuts made at the Masters serves as a testament to his enduring skill and determination on the golf course.
