Tiger Woods sets a new Masters record for most consecutive cuts made, surpassing Fred Couples and Gary Player.
It may not look like what it did over a decade ago — or even five years ago — but Tiger Woods still knows what it takes to play at Augusta National. And while this accomplishment probably isn’t as comparable to his five wins at the famed course, he now has a Masters record that may be unbreakable. The 15-time major winner set the record Friday for most consecutive Masters cuts made, moving onto the weekend for the 24th consecutive time.
He surpassed Fred Couples and Gary Player after tying them last year. It should be noted that Woods did not play the event in 2014, 2016, 2017 or 2021, and he withdrew midway through the third round last year. Nonetheless, when he plays, it’s essentially a guarantee he’ll see action Saturday. Woods’ streak was on the line Friday after his morning didn’t get off to a hot start. His first round was suspended due to darkness. So, he began his Friday on the 14th hole at around 8 a.m.
The last, and only, time Woods did not make the cut was 1996. He made it as a low amateur the year prior. Entering this tournament, the next closest active streak had been Adam Scott's at 14 straight, but his 6-over forced him to miss the cut for the first time since 2009. Hideki Matsuyama is right on the cut line of 4-over. To give Woods' streak even more perspective, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Rickie Fowler and Viktor Hovland will likely miss the cut this year.
’m still right there in the ball game,' he said, 'with a good chance going into the weekend.' Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
