After an eight-over-par round of 79 on Thursday, it was always going to be a tall order for Tiger Woods to make the cut at The 152nd Open Championship, with the American struggling throughout at Royal Troon.
In tough conditions, the three-time Claret Jug winner could only manage a six-over-par second round of 77, as his 14-over-par tournament total was well back of the project cut line.
It now means that Woods has missed the cut in his last three consecutive Major events, as he failed to make the weekend at the PGA Championship, US Open and now Open Championship.
To add further, his last seven Major events has seen him miss the cut in four of them, withdraw in two and finish in solo 60th. That event was the Masters in 2024, where Woods fired rounds of 73, 72, 82 and 77.
What’s more, it’s the first time that Woods has missed three consecutive Major cuts since 2015, where the 48-year-old failed to make it into the weekend of the same three events as above. That time around, he finished seven-over-par at the US Open, 14-over at The Open and seven-over at the PGA Championships.
The missed cut now brings an end to Woods’ Major season, a year where he has played 10 rounds and failed to break par, with the American finishing with a combined score of 44-over-par.
According to Woods, he will tee it up next at the Hero World Challenge, a tournament he hosts, which puts to bed the possibility of him retiring, with Woods claiming in his press conference on Tuesday that “I’ll play as long as I can play”.
