Tiger Woods brought his streak of consecutive cuts at the Augusta Masters to 23

Date:

Tiger Woods you can thank your good friend Justin Thomas the ‘help’ to extend his streak at the Masters to a record 23. This Saturday Woods was in danger of being eliminated for the first time as a professional when he continued his second round in cold, rain and wind and finished his rounds included bogeys on 17 and 18 that put him out of the tournament.

Moments after Woods signed his card, Thomas missed a par putt on 17, dropping him to 3-over and bringing all of that number inside the cutoff line. Thomas added a second bogey at the 18th, ensuring his friend Tiger would play the rest of the weekend and tie Fred Couples and Gary Player for the longest streak of cuts made at the Masters.

“I’ve always loved this golf course, and I love playing this event,” Woods said before Thomas finished. “I hope I get a chance to play on the weekend. I hope I get a chance to play two more rounds,” he added. Woods got his wish, as Thomas’ final bogey-bogey sent him home.

Thomas’ bogey-bogey allowed Thomas Pieters of Belgium and Charl Schwartzel of South Africa to join Woods in making the cut as he dropped to +3. It also means that 12 of the 18 Saudi LIV Golf players are still in competition.

Removed the famous are apart from Thomas, Bryson DeChambeau, Francesco Molinari, Rory McIlroy (+5), Sergio Garcia, Bubba Watson and Txema Olazábal.

It was a big setback for McIlroy, who missed the cut after a 77-shot second round. The 2022 runner-up will have to wait another year to try again to complete the Grand Slam of his career.

The one who made the cut was Fred Couples, 63, who finished his second round Saturday at +1. The 1992 champion had a bogey-bogey finish but became the oldest player to make the cut at Augusta National, surpassing the mark set by Bernhard Langer in 2020. Couples, whose 31 cuts made at the Masters surpassed only Jack Nicklaus’ record of 37, I didn’t know he would be the oldest player to do so. When told he had passed Langer’s mark of 108 days, he replied: “Today is another day,” he said. “If it was Friday, it would have been 107.”
