Death, taxes, and Tiger Woods making the cut at the Masters. After playing 23 holes on Friday, Woods’s even-par 72 after two rounds was more than good enough to make the cut.

By making the cut, Woods set the record for most consecutive made cuts at the Masters with 24. As a professional, Woods has never missed the cut at Augusta.
Woods surpasses fellow Masters champions Fred Couples and Gary Player, whom he tied last year with 23.
Woods only played one competitive event this year before the Masters. Woods played at the Genesis Invitational at the Riviera Country Club in February. However, Woods withdrew during the second round due to flu-like symptoms.
Woods is six shots behind co-leaders Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa, and Bryson DeChambeau. Despite the deficit, Woods is happy that he will play the weekend at Augusta.
“It means I have a chance going into the weekend,” Woods said (via ESPN). “I’m here. I have a chance to win the golf tournament. I don’t know if they’re all going to finish today, but I’m done. I got my two rounds in. Just need some food and some caffeine, and I’ll be good to go.”
Tiger Woods, who had played 24 holes of golf in 2024 before this week, just beat the following golfers over the first two rounds of the Masters.
