Tiger Woods starts his Masters journey with a birdie, aiming for a record 24th consecutive made cut. Despite his fused ankle and injury history, Woods believes he can achieve more by Sunday.
AUGUSTA, Ga. - Tiger Woods began pursuit of a record 24th consecutive made cut at the Masters with a birdie on Thursday, though the five-time champion with the fused ankle and long injury history believes he is still capable of so much more by Sunday.
Woods had to follow his brilliant start with some impressive scrambling. He hit a wayward tee shot into the trees left of No. 2, punched back into the fairway, hit his approach shot over the green and had to get up and down from there for par. “If everything comes together, I think I can get one more,” Woods said earlier in the week. He paused briefly before adding, “Do I need to describe that any more than that, or are we good?”
Woods had to fight to make the cut the last year, when the ankle he shattered in a 2021 car crash caused so much trouble. He bogeyed three of his first seven holes, battled to shoot an opening 74, then had to slog his way through heavy rain, cold weather and delays to finish off a second-round 73 on Saturday and make the cut on the number.
