Tiger Woods' performance in the opening round at Augusta National was disappointing as he ended the round at one over par. He now faces the challenge of making the cut for a record 24th consecutive time.
All eyes were on five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods on Thursday during the opening round at Augusta National . The first round was ultimately delayed due to weather, but Woods was back on the golf course early Friday morning for the final five holes of the first round. Woods' performance on Friday was somewhat disappointing, as he ended the first round at one over par. Woods took his second bogey of the round with an errant wedge at No.
Woods finished the opening round eight strokes behind leader Bryson DeChambeau, but he now faces the more immediate goal of making the cut for a record 24th consecutive time. Woods' health has been a topic of conversation for several years. He previously underwent multiple back surgeries, but a single-car crash in California in 2021 resulted in multiple leg injuries. Woods added to his long list of procedures in April 2023 when he announced that he had undergone surgery on his right ankle.
Woods spent about 40 minutes in the Augusta National clubhouse on Friday to get his surgically repaired body ready to tackle another 18 holes in the second round. Woods is looking to make another bit of Augusta National history by advancing to the weekend. He is currently tied with three-time champion Gary Player, who made 23 straight cuts beginning in 1959, and 1992 winner Fred Couples, whose own streak lasted until 2007. World No.
Woods was tied for 26th in the second round as of Friday afternoon. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
