AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods continued his 2023 Masters second round on Saturday morning after inclement weather forced play to be suspended on Friday afternoon.
His first swing? The tee shot at No. 12, which he stuck to just three feet. Woods missed the gimme birdie, which would prove costly six holes later. On a cold, rainy morning at Augusta National Golf Club, Woods signed for a 1-over 73 to walk off the course T-51 at 3-over, outside the top 50 cut.
Playing in his 25th Masters, the five-time winner of the green jacket was aiming to tie the record for most consecutive cuts made in tournament history. Woods made his first trip down Magnolia Lane in 1995 and finished T-41 as the low amateur. He returned in 1996 and missed the cut, the only time he had ever done so. Woods then won in 1997 in his first Masters as a professional and had made the cut in each of his last 22 appearances.

If Woods does fail to make the cut, his streak will end and leave him one short of Fred Couples and Gary Player, who each made 23 consecutive cuts at the Masters in their careers.
