Tiger Woods is making headlines once again as he gears up for The Masters at Augusta National Golf Course. The golf legend started the week practicing diligently, aiming to secure a spot in the first round of the prestigious tournament. However, by Saturday, he could potentially rewrite the record books.
If Woods manages to make the cut after Friday’s second round, it will mark the 24th time in his career. This achievement would surpass golf greats Gary Player and Fred Couples, as reported by ESPN on Monday.
Last year, Woods made the cut at the Masters but was forced to withdraw during the third round due to a reaggravated plantar fasciitis injury. Despite facing numerous challenges, including back problems and a serious knee injury from a car crash in 2021, Woods remains determined to compete at the highest level.
Notah Begay III, Woods’ former teammate and NBC broadcaster, revealed that Woods is currently battling a back injury and limited mobility in his left ankle. Despite these obstacles, Woods appeared focused and determined during practice sessions leading up to the tournament.
Woods has a storied history at Augusta, with five Masters wins to his name. His most memorable victory came four years ago when he shocked the sports world by winning the tournament after a long drought of major victories.
As Woods prepares to take on the hilly Augusta course, fans and fellow competitors alike are eager to see if he can power through and compete in all four rounds. With his unparalleled skill and determination, Woods continues to captivate audiences and inspire awe on the golf course.
Stay tuned as Tiger Woods looks to make history once again at The Masters, showcasing his resilience and unwavering passion for the game.
