AUGUSTA, Ga. — After a historically bad performance on Saturday, Tiger Woods rebounded on Sunday at the 2024 Masters.
Playing his 100th round at Augusta National Golf Club after setting the record for most consecutive cuts made at the Masters with 24, Woods was joined by his son, Charlie, on the range before he shot a 5-over 77 in the final round. Woods walked off the course at 16 over in last place among those who made the cut.
The score looked worse than the performance for Woods on Sunday as he made 12 pars on the day but struggled over a three-hole stretch on the first nine.
“Well, I think that just the wind and what it was doing out here to the golf shots and the balls and putting, how difficult the course was playing.

Pars on his final three holes put to bed a largely forgettable weekend that had all the potential to be one to remember.
“It was a good week. It was a good week all around,” Tiger said of his four days. “I think that coming in here, not having played a full tournament in a very long time, it was a good fight on Thursday and Friday. Unfortunately yesterday it didn’t quite turn out the way I wanted it to.”
Had it not been for the weather delay on Thursday that forced Woods to play five extra (and early) holes on Friday, the week could’ve looked quite different for the 15-time major champion. When he walked off the course on Thursday evening, he was 1 under through 13 holes.
On Friday he bogeyed two of his final five holes and was visibly uncomfortable as his surgically repaired and held-together body clashed with brisk morning conditions. Woods grinded to make the cut by five shots and afterward said the…
