2024 Masters Tiger updates: Woods sets record for consecutive made cuts

Woods finishes at 1-over 145, will make his 24th straight cut at Augusta National

Change Text Size

Friday told us a lot about the state of Tiger Woods. He's still got it.

The five-time Masters winner hung tough on a marathon Friday in windy conditions at Augusta National, finishing two rounds at 1-over 145, safely inside the projected cut line. He'll make the cut for a 24th consecutive Masters appearance, setting a new record that he previously shared with Fred Couples and Gary Player.

Woods, 48, stood 1-under through 13 holes when play was suspended due to darkness Thursday night. He played his final five holes of the first round Friday morning in 2-over, signing for a 1-over 73, and he began the second round shortly thereafter. He carded an even-par 72 in the second round, continuing to demonstrate his all-time short game with a series of crafty par saves.

Woods entered the week having played just 24 holes of PGA TOUR competition this season. He completed 23 holes on Friday, doing so admirably.

How would Woods’ body hold up with the short recovery time? That was the million-dollar question, and although his gait Friday indicated the understandable wear and tear expected after myriad surgeries and the natural aging process, it didn't keep him from producing two solid rounds in demanding conditions at Augusta National.

After undergoing ankle surgery following a WD during the third round of last year’s Masters, Woods returned to PGA TOUR competition at The Genesis Invitational in February, where he opened in 1-over 72 but withdrew during the second round due to flu-like symptoms. The Masters is Woods’ first start since withdrawing at The Genesis, and he said Tuesday that he still believes he can contend and win. He'll enter the weekend well back of the leaders, but he'll have a puncher's chance.

Read below for a hole-by-hole look at Woods' historic Friday at Augusta National.

Hole 18 (par 4, 465 yards): Woods flirts with the left tree line off the tee, but the golf gods smile upon him; the ball eludes the limbs and safely reaches the fairway, leaving an 167-yard approach up the hill on Augusta National's home hole.

Woods tugs his second shot left of the green with a 9-iron; it settles safely in the fairway cut and he smiles, perhaps reflecting on what he is set to achieve. The wind is gusting as hard as it had all day, with sand seen escaping the front greenside bunker and blowing across the green.

Woods plays a safe third shot to 6 feet past the hole, keeping from any potential trouble, and the patrons' cheers of appreciation reverberate across the property. He makes his par, another sublime up-and-down in a week full of them. At 1-over 145, he'll play the weekend for a 24th consecutive Masters appearance. He'll have that record alone.

Even-par 72 in second round, 1-over 145 through 36 holes

Hole 17 (par 4, 440 yards): Woods pulls driver and stripes a low fade down the center of the fairway, wasting no time in picking up his tee. The patrons roar, perhaps in anticipation of imminent history. Woods appears purposeful and determined, careful not to exude any morsel of excess energy. He stripes his 173-yard approach but the ball sails just beyond the green, settling quickly in the fairway cut, roughly 30 feet past the hole location set on the green's back portion. Woods plays a conservative chip shot that settles 6 feet short, leaving a knee-knocker for par.

The stage is set, and Woods delivers. His par putt drops in the center of the cup, and the patrons roar. He's three strokes inside the projected cut line with one hole to play in Friday's second round.

Even-par through 17, 1-over overall

Hole 16 (par 3, 170 yards): Woods wants nothing to do with the pond that guards the green's left side; he plays a safe shot to the back of the green, leaving a mid-length birdie try from 26 feet to a right-middle hole location. He safely lags to tap-in range and cards a routine par.

Woods stays three strokes inside the projected cut line with two holes to play in his second round. History beckons.

Even-par through 16, 1-over overall

Hole 15 (par 5, 550 yards): Augusta National is the canvas for dozens of memorable moments across golf history, a proverbial tie that binds. Add Woods' second shot at the par-5 15th in Friday's second round to the list.

After a well-placed 292-yard drive down the middle, Woods selects 3-wood for his 258-yard second shot across the pond. It's a bold choice at this stage in the game, on the precipice of holding the Masters' consecutive cuts record alone, and Woods executes. The ball sails high in the air and lands softly on the green's proper back level, leaving an 25-foot eagle putt. Woods has maintained a fairly stoic face all day, but he allows a slight smile as he walks toward the green. As has often been the case throughout an 82-win PGA TOUR career, Woods delivers in a crucial moment.

He two-putts for birdie, returning to even-par on the round. He now has a three-stroke buffer on the projected cut line with three holes to play.

Even-par through 15, 1-over overall

Hole 14 (par 4, 440 yards): After five straight pars, Woods makes a disappointing bogey at the mid-length par 4 despite a perfectly positioned drive.

From the center of the fairway, Woods tugs his 150-yard approach left of the green, leaving an awkward chip shot from the pine straw. His bump-and-run third shot checks up 9 feet short; his par putt starts right of the hole and stays there.

Woods falls to 2 over for the week, still two strokes clear of the projected cut line but with a little less wiggle room. Now he heads to the risk-reward par-5 15th, which can offer red numbers but also saw Jordan Spieth make a 9 in the opening round.

Woods 1-over through 14, 2-over overall

Hole 13 (par 5, 545 yards): One of golf's greatest holes, the sweeping dogleg-left par 5, and Woods makes a conventional par to remain safely inside the projected cut line.

Woods' tee shot misses just right of the fairway, making for an easy layup decision; he executes a low punch from 294 yards with an abbreviated follow-through to leave an 130-yard wedge approach. Facing a diabolical hole location tucked on the green's back tier, Woods safely plays to the middle part of the green. He two-putts for par from 55 feet, demonstrating his innate understanding of Augusta National once again. No harm, no foul.

Woods even-par though 13, 1-over overall

Hole 12 (par 3, 155 yards): Perhaps the golf gods are rooting for Woods to set the Masters' consecutive made cuts record as well. His tee shot sails past the green at the short par 3 over Rae's Creek, but the ball kicks backwards from the pine straw to leave a simple pitch shot across the green. Woods, a short-game magician, has no such trouble with this straightforward task; he plays a 12-yard bump-and-run to 3 feet and cleans up his par.

With the projected cut line moving to 4 over, Woods now has three strokes of cushion as he eyes history.

Woods even-par through 12, 1-over overall

Hole 11 (par 4, 520 yards): Woods has no trouble finding the fairway off the tee, but the hole is playing into the wind, almost as a par 4.5 for the field. Faced with 236 yards for his second shot, Woods employs a safety-first mentality, playing to an area of fairway short-right of the green, 26 yards from the hole.

Once again, Woods displays some short-game acrobatics, playing a bump-and-run third that flirts with the greenside bunker's edge but releases safely onto the green, leaving a 6-foot par putt. Once again he solves an Augusta National riddle with aplomb.

Should we be amazed? Perhaps. But this is Tiger Woods, and the patrons rise in appreciation as he walks to the famed par-3 12th across Rae's Creek.

Woods even-par through 11, 1-over overall

Hole 10 (par 4, 495 yards): After a perfect drive down the middle, Woods plays a conservative 186-yard second shot to the green's left side, leaving a slippery birdie putt from 44 feet. The putt tracks toward the hole but slides 6 feet past, leaving a crucial par-saving attempt to maintain the momentum that has built in recent holes.

Woods doesn't miss a beat, rolling his par putt into the center of the cup. He retrieves the ball from the hole with authority, remaining two strokes inside the projected cut line as he heads to Amen Corner.

Woods even-par through 10, 1-over overall

Hole 9 (par 4, 460 yards): Woods picked up his tee and didn't look worried as his drive reached the apex. The wind had other ideas, hollowing off the right and pushing Woods' tee shot into the trees on the left. That will be a difficult angle to reach that green and might just be a lay-up.

Woods rehearses a big hook shot and does hit it through trees. It never had a chance to reach the green, though, and goes flying into the patrons greenside.

More creativity from Tiger, who takes it way up high with his pitch and lands it 11 feet from the hole, then drips it in for par. That's a fantastic save and the type of putt he hasn't made today. It's a great sign as he makes the turn, well within the projected cut line.

Woods even-par through 9, 1-over overall

Hole 8 (par 5, 570 yards): Max Homa goes way right. Jason Day goes way left. Tiger Woods pumps one right down the middle. Once again playing as one of the easiest holes, Woods is firmly in position to make a birdie after that tee shot.

From 294 yards out, Woods decides to lay-up. The eighth was playing downwind yesterday, but that's not the case today. Woods is left with 64 yards from the middle of the fairway after his second shot.

He's played this hole a few times, eh? Woods perfectly clips a wedge that hops and stops pin-high, 4 feet from the hole. Woods finishes that up for his second birdie of the day. With a tough stretch of No. 9-12 upcoming, that's some needed breathing room. The cut line is still trending toward 3- or 4-over.

Woods even-par through 8, 1-over overall

Hole 7 (par 4, 450 yards): It's imperative to find the fairway on the narrow par-4 seventh. Woods pulls 3-wood, tees it down and hits a cut that splits the middle. His day has been filled with inconsistencies, but his driving has not been one of them. Including the five holes of his first round he played this morning, Woods has hit 7-of-8 fairways.

Woods stares down his approach from 156 yards, but is exasperated as it lands in the front bunker. Woods looked like he liked the strike, so he must have misjudged the wind. Now Woods is back in scrambling mode. The seventh hole is playing as the second-hardest hole in Round 2.

Woods opts to go low with the bunker shot as it skids and stops 7 feet past the hole. That sets up another tester... and another miss. Woods' putt lips out and that is his third bogey in four holes. The mistake there came on the approach shot. Woods had a chance to make the difficult seventh a birdie hole. Instead, a poor approach means Woods drops another shot.

Woods 1-over through 7, 2-over overall

Hole 6 (par 3, 180 yards): Winds continue to gust as Woods backs off his tee shot to let the winds subside, then hits a low bullet that barely clears the front bunker.

With the option to putt or chip, Woods pulls wedge and it was a great idea! Woods plays a short little runner from 9 yards away that curls right into the cup! Woods needed that and gives a hearty wave to crowd as he grabs the ball from the bottom of the cup.

With the chip-in, Woods plays Nos. 4-6 in 1-over. In these conditions, that's solid. Let's see if Woods can ride that momentum and make the turn in red figures.

Woods even-par through 6, 1-over overall

Hole 5 (par 4, 495 yards): This is a hole that has had Woods' number and it's giving him fits again. Woods misses his first fairway of the day and it's a costly one. His drive leaks left and finds the massive fairway bunkers. He's forced to lay up, which gives him 119 yards to the hole. Woods plays the smart shot, knowing he absolutely can't go long of the green. He leaves himself around 20 feet for par.

But it will be another dropped shot. Woods hits a good putt that doesn't fall. Now 2-over for the tournament, the cut line is starting to become a discussion. There are 54 players at 2-over or better. With conditions getting more difficult, expect the cut to get to 3- or 4-over.

Woods 1-over through 5, 2-over overall

Hole 4 (par 3, 240 yards): Historically one of the toughest holes on the property, the fourth is playing even more difficult today with the wind likely adding 20-25 yards to the shot. Woods attempts to cut one into the middle of the green but leaves it out to the left and just misses a greenside bunker.

If there was a place to miss on this hole today, it's where Woods is. His pitch is solid but rolls out 5 feet past the hole, leaving a very delicate putt. The best leave is definitely short of this pin location. Woods is forced to make a very defensive putt, starting the ball outside the hole. It just didn't come back. That's a bogey for Woods.

Woods even-par through 4, 1-over overall.

Hole 3 (par 4, 350 yards): Another fairway hit for Woods, though it needed a bounce of some Georgia pines to make it there. Woods' driver leaked a little right but the good kick leaves him 87 yards from the hole. It's a challenging pin position today on the front-right portion of the green.

That unlocks the artistry in Woods' game, who pulls pitching wedge from less than 90 yards and hits a knockdown shot that lands 10 feet past the hole and stops. Great spin control gives Woods another great look at birdie, his third straight.

Woods stands over the putt then backs off. It's getting mighty windy out there and Woods' Sun Day Red pants are flapping as the gusts cut through Augusta National. Back over the ball again, Woods makes a confident stroke that drops in from the low side. Woods is on the board with his first birdie of the day.

Woods 1-under through 3, even-par overall

Hole 2 (par 5, 585 yards): Woods opts for 3-wood today and finds the fairway. If you recall, Woods went way left with his tee shot on this hole yesterday using driver. But with the hole playing downwind today, he can get to the green in two without driver.

From 267 yards away, Woods ropes a wood over the right side of the green and into the patrons. With the hole location on the far left side of the green, he's got plenty of room to operate, but he's still 43 yards away.

Barely visible among the throng of patrons, Woods' pitch skips and stops 11 feet from the hole. Woods has the line but his putt stops less than an inch from the hole. That's another par. Two good looks for birdie on the opening two holes. Now it's just time for the putter to cooperate.

Woods even-par thru 2, 1-over overall

Hole 1 (par 4, 445 yards): New round, same driver. Woods has hit every fairway today, including on the first hole of his second round. Along the left side of the fairway, Woods has an ideal angle from 161 yards out and hits in pin-high, about 15 feet from the hole. After two bogeys and three pars to close his first round this morning, Woods has a chance to get his second round off to a great start.

Woods gives it a good run but misses it on the high side. No complaining about a par at No. 1, now with a chance to get a birdie at the par-5 second.

Woods even-par thru 1, 1-over overall

Hole 18 (par 4, 465 yards): Tiger has great rhythm with the driver, with another perfectly placed tee shot in the 18th fairway. It's a mighty encouraging sign as the first round finishes up and Woods readies for 18 more holes. It's a 287-yard drive. He has 171 yards into the closing par 4.

After Max Homa's approach got swallowed up by the wind and found the right greenside bunker, Woods plays a nearly identical shot. The wind impacted those shots much more than either player anticipated. Woods will need an up-and-down to finish even-par for the first round.

Nearly more short game magic for Woods! His bunker shot comes just inches from hitting the flagstick. Instead, it races by and Woods has more than he bargained for -- 16 feet for par. He gets the putt to the hole but doesn't play enough break. He closes with a bogey.

Woods finishes with an opening-round 73. That's a solid result given his lack of competitive reps, though Woods is surely disappointed after he was 1 under through 13 holes when play suspended Thursday night. He won't have much time to dwell on the finish. His second round tee time is scheduled for 10:18 a.m. ET. He has around 45 minutes to grab some food, keep the body loose and get ready for 18 more holes.

Woods shoots 1-over 73

Hole 17 (par 4, 440 yards): It's another low, fading bullet with the driver that finds the fairway. Woods is 3-for-3 in fairways hit this morning. That's a great sign. He's hit 77% of the fairways in this first round, slightly better than the field average.

With 158 yards into the green, Woods pulls 9-iron and plays the smart shot, leaving himself below the hole. He will have 23 feet for birdie. After a few shaky iron swings to start the morning, Woods has hit two solid ones with his tee shot on 16 and now this approach.

Woods leaves his birdie putt short. That's three putts left short in his opening four holes of the day. But it is another stress-free par. Those are always welcome at Augusta National, particularly on the 17th.

Woods even-par thru 17

Hole 16 (par 3, 170 yards): Woods pulls 7-iron after watching Jason Day put one in the water with the same club. The 82-time PGA TOUR winner doesn't make the same mistake. Woods safely lands it 20 feet past the pin and uses the slope to get it on the same plateau as the hole. He will have 20 feet for birdie.

It's a quick putt, meandering slightly left to right. Woods handles it with care but doesn't give it quite enough pace. That will be another par for Woods. He's 1-over since play resumed today but has made two relatively easy pars after that opening bogey.

Woods even-par thru 16

Hole 15 (par 5, 550 yards): Woods’ drive finds the fairway but it will be a lay-up with 273 yards remaining into the green. He does just that, leaving himself 70 yards. It's a tricky wedge shot on a severe downslope and Woods can't control the spin as the ball rolls off the back of the green. Woods' ball-striking has been iffy to start, but his touch is fully activated as he nearly holes the chip for birdie. He makes the comebacker for par.

It's a hole you'd like to make birdie, but Woods will take the par. He is clearly laboring this morning; the short turnaround time was likely going to be problematic. As the weather warms and Woods gets a few more swings, let's see how his body progresses.

Woods even-par thru 15

Hole 14 (par 4, 440 yards): Play resumed as scheduled at 7:50 a.m. ET. Woods plays his patented cut off the tee and finds the fairway. The 315-yard drive leaves him just 119 yards into the green, but Woods lays the sod over a wedge and comes up short of the green. That leaves Woods with a delicate chip, with the pin sitting on the top of a slope on the back of the green. Woods opts to hit a low spinner, but the ball releases out and Woods has 22 feet for par. The curling right-to-left putt come up just short. Woods makes bogey and drops a shot.

Woods even-par thru 14

2024 Masters live stream, watch online: TV coverage, channel, Tiger Woods in Round 3, broadcast schedule

Watch every single shot from the biggest names in golf throughout round 3 at the 2024 masters.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The third day of action at the 2024 Masters is going to be a significant one as Moving Day meets Augusta National with the leaderboard undoubtedly shifting ahead of the tournament's final 18 holes. Two days of pristine golf at the nation's best course remain with the best hoping to finish not just in the money but as high up the leaderboard as possible.

The grounds are filled to capacity with patrons, and they were undoubtedly keen to see how Tiger Woods continues to play after he created Masters history on Friday by making his 24th consecutive cut , a tournament record. Woods also hit 22 of 36 fairways through his first two rounds, his best such mark since 1999.

Though he was on the edge of contention entering Saturday, after shooting his highest nine-hole total in Masters history going 6 over on the first nine, Tiger is now firmly out of contention with some questioning whether he will finish 72 holes at all. Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy -- after an extended session on the range Friday night -- shot one of the better rounds of Saturday's early wave. Neither he nor reigning Masters champion Jon Rahm are a threat to those atop the leaderboard.

Far more likely to find the winner's circle is Scottie Scheffler, the 2022 green jacket winner seeking to win his second in three years. Scheffler entered as an overwhelming favorite and sits +100 to win the tournament entering Saturday's third round. He is one of three men tied atop the leaderboard with Max Homa the author of Friday's best performance and Bryson DeChambeau holding steady looking for his second major championship and first since 2020. Who pulls ahead between that trio remains to be seen, but you can follow  2024 Masters leaderboard live updates throughout Round 3  right here and find out.

There is so much to pay attention to this week that it can be overwhelming at times. No worries: We have you covered. On Saturday alone, you can watch the entire first rounds from Woods, McIlroy, Rickie Fowler, Hideki Matsuyama and young sensation Ludvig Åberg.
