The 48-year-old, a five-time Masters champion, has never missed the cut at the major as a professional

Tiger Woods continues to etch his name into the annals of Masters history, as his 24th consecutive made cut at Augusta National sets yet another milestone in his illustrious career.

The 48-year-old, a five-time Masters champion, has never missed the cut at the major as a professional. Now, he stands alone atop the record list at Augusta National, surpassing fellow Masters champions Gary Player and Fred Couples with one more consecutive made cut.

Despite challenging conditions on Friday, Woods navigated the course with precision, carding an even-par 72 on a day characterized by windy conditions and clear skies. His steady performance positioned him comfortably inside the cut line at one over for the week.

Reflecting on his latest accomplishment, Woods acknowledged the significance of having a chance to contend over the weekend. “It means I have a chance going into the weekend. I’m here. I have a chance to win the golf tournament,” he said. “I got my two rounds in. Just need some food and some caffeine, and I’ll be good to go.”

Woods faced a demanding test of endurance on Friday, playing 23 holes after his opening round was suspended due to darkness. Despite concerns about his physical condition, including a surgically fused ankle, Woods demonstrated resilience and familiarity with the Augusta National layout.

“I was forced to get up-and-down a few times today, and I was able to do that,” he remarked. “A lot of those chip shots I was able to get up-and-down because I left it in the perfect spot, and that’s understanding how to play this golf course.”

For Woods, who has endured physical challenges and limited competitive play in recent years, the weekend at the Masters presents another significant hurdle. “I’m tired,” he admitted. “I’ve been out for a while, competing, grinding. It’s been a long 23 holes, a long day.”

As Woods prepares for the next chapter of his Masters journey, his resilience and determination continue to captivate fans and inspire admiration across the golfing world.
