Tiger Woods has the chance to advance past the midway point at the Masters for the 24th consecutive time, setting a new record if he makes the cut. Despite challenging windy conditions, Woods performed well in the opening round, recording a pair of birdies and finishing 1-under before darkness halted play.
If the five-time winner of the green jacket can make the cut, it would mark a record 24th consecutive time he's advanced past the midway point at the Masters . Tiger Woods watches his tee shot on the 12th hole during the first round at the Masters golf tournament at Augusta National Golf Club, April 11, 2024.With a massive gallery hanging on his every swing at windy Augusta National, Woods recorded a pair of birdies on the front side and was 1-under when darkness cut short the opening round.
If the five-time winner of the green jacket can make the cut, it would mark a record 24th consecutive time he's advanced past the midway point at the first major championship of the year. Even though he has played just one tournament this year — and a mere 24 holes in that one before he withdrew with an illness — the 48-year-old certainly looked far fitter than he did in his last two appearances at Augusta National.
A buzz began to sweep through the gallery in front of the clubhouse before Woods — surrounded by a cauldron of security officers — popped out for a tee time that was delayed 2 1/2 hours by morning storms. Woods followed his impressive start with some deft scrambling after hitting a wayward tee shot into the trees left of No. 2. He punched back into the fairway his left-handed, then flew his approach shot over the green, but managed to get up and down from there for par.
