How to watch Tiger Woods at the 2024 Masters, first round grouping at Augusta National

Here’s everything you need to know for Tiger’s return to Augusta National.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The Big Cat is back on the course this week with a shot at history at the 2024 Masters.

Tiger Woods will make his 26th appearance at Augusta National this week, where he’s looking to set the all-time record for consecutive Masters cuts made with 24 in a row. The five-time Masters champion tied Fred Couples (1983-2007) and Gary Player (1959-1982) for the current record of 23 at last year’s tournament before he withdrew ahead of the third round.

“Well, this tournament has meant so much to me in my life and my family. I think I’ve been playing here for, what, 29 years now,” Woods said during his pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday. “It’s been a part of my life to have won here as my first major as a pro. Hugging my dad, as you saw; then a full circle in 2019 to hug my son.”

“It has meant a lot to my family. It’s meant a lot to me,” he added. “I always want to keep playing in (the Masters).”

After a weathey delayed the first round, the 15-time major champion will now begin his quest for history at 3:54 p.m. ET on Thursday alongside Jason Day and Max Homa.

Featured group coverage will air on Masters.com and the Masters app, as well as on Paramount+. The first-round television broadcast runs from 3-7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. SiriusXM radio will call the action from 2-8 p.m. ET.

Across 25 starts and 96 rounds at the Masters, Woods has a low round of 65 and a scoring average of 71.10. He’s finished inside the top 10 in more than half of his starts (14), 12 of which were top fives.

Tiger Woods withdraws from 2023 Masters with injury Sunday morning

Woods has now withdrawn from two of his last three major championship appearances.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods has now withdrawn from two of his last three major championship appearances.

The 15-time major champion withdrew from the 2023 Masters at Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday morning citing injury.

“I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis,” Woods shared on Twitter.

When play was suspended for the day due to inclement weather on Saturday afternoon, Woods was in dead last among those who made the cut at 9 over for the tournament and 6 over on the round through seven holes after starting on No. 10. Making his 25^th Masters appearance, the five-time winner of the green jacket made bogey on his opening hole and then went bogey-double-double on Nos. 14-16.

I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis. Thank you to the fans and to @TheMasters who have shown me so much love and support. Good luck to the players today!

— Tiger Woods (@TigerWoods) April 9, 2023

The day before, Woods made the cut on the number to tie the tournament’s all-time record for consecutive made cuts at 23 set by Gary Player and later reached by Fred Couples.

Woods withdrew from last year’s PGA Championship on Saturday after the third round. His only other WD in a major came as an amateur in the 1995 U.S. Open when a 19-year-old Woods sprained his wrist at Shinnecock Hills in New York. An 82-time winner on the PGA Tour, Woods has withdrawn from 11 events over 372 starts.

‘I’ve always loved this golf course’: Tiger Woods ties Masters record with 23rd consecutive made cut at Augusta National (with a little help from Justin Thomas)

Woods tied the record previously set by Gary Player and later matched by Fred Couples.

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 almost kept him from a weekend tee time. On a cold, rainy morning at Augusta National Golf Club, Woods signed for a 1-over 73 after a bogey-bogey finish to walk off the course T-51 at 3-over, outside the top 50 cut.

“I’ve always loved this golf course, and I love playing this event. Obviously I’ve missed a couple with some injuries, but I’ve always wanted to play here. I’ve loved it,” said Woods after his round. “I got a chance to play on the weekend. I wish I get a chance to play two more rounds.”

Woods’ wish was granted as the cut line later moved to 3 over after his good friend Justin Thomas bogeyed three of his last four holes, moving Woods to T-49 and inside the cut.

Playing in his 25th Masters, the five-time winner of the green jacket tied the record for most consecutive cuts made in tournament history with 23, matching the mark previously set by Gary Player and later matched by Fred Couples.

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 23 appearances.

Woods now has 24 made cuts at Augusta. Jack Nicklaus has the most with 37.

Woods will begin his third round at 11:30 a.m. ET on Saturday alongside Thomas Pieters and Sungjae Im.

Tiger Woods shot-by-shot live updates from Saturday’s 2023 Masters third round at Augusta National

Woods is looking to tie the record for consecutive cuts made at Augusta National.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — If you can’t watch Tiger Woods during the third round of the 2023 Masters on Saturday afternoon, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

The 15-time major champion returned to Augusta National Golf Club this week with a pair of records on his mind, and he was able to achieve one of them. While Woods’ quest for a record-tying sixth green jacket took a hit on Thursday after a 2-over 74 in the opening round, his 1-over 73 in the second round was just enough to make the cut on the number and tie Gary Player and Fred Couples for the most consecutive made cuts in Masters history.

Woods, 47, has never missed the cut at the Masters as a professional since his debut in 1997 (he was low amateur in 1995 and missed the cut in 1996 as an amateur).

Woods will tee it up in the third round with Thomas Pieters and Sungjae Im at 1:06 p.m. ET off the 10th tee. Follow every shot Woods’ Saturday afternoon round below with shot-by-shot updates from Augusta National.

Tiger Woods will have to wait for his latest attempt at Masters history after weather delay at Augusta National

Woods is looking to tie Fred Couples and Gary Player for most consecutive made cuts in Masters history.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Inclement weather forced play to be suspended for the day Friday during the second round of the 2023 Masters and delayed Tiger Woods’ most recent attempt at history.

Playing in his 25th Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, the five-time winner of the green jacket is aiming to tie the record for most consecutive cuts made in tournament history this week. 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 has ever done so. Woods then won in 1997 in his first Masters as a professional and has made the cut in each of his last 22 appearances.

Play was suspended for the second time of the day at 4:22 p.m. ET just after Woods made par on No. 11 to remain at 2 over for the tournament. He currently sits directly on the cut line at T-50.

Woods made par on his opening six holes before a wayward tee shot led to his first bogey of the day to take him outside the projected cut line. He quickly responded with a birdie on the par-5 eighth after a brief 21-minute weather delay and made par on No. 9 to make the turn at even par, back on the bubble for a weekend tee time. Woods made two more pars on Nos. 10 and 11 before play was suspended for the day.

If Woods fails to make the cut, his streak will end and leave him one short of Fred Couples and Gary Player, who have 23 consecutive made cuts at the Masters.

Play is scheduled to resume at 8 a.m. ET Saturday morning, though more rain and storms are in the forecast for the entirety of the day.

Tiger Woods falters early, finds some form late in ho-hum first round of 2023 Masters

The struggle was all too real for Woods at Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods was brutally honest this week when he said he wasn’t sure how many more times he’d be able to tee it up and compete in the Masters.

Early on in his first round it seemed as if he may only have 18 holes left in this year’s event.

The struggle was all too real for Woods at Augusta National Golf Club on Thursday, where the 15-time major champion shot a 2-over 74 to begin his quest for a record-tying sixth green jacket.

[mm-video type=video id=01gxccr87eqyma2t1pn9 playlist_id=01es6rjnsp3c84zkm6 player_id=01evcfxp4q8949fs1e image=https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/video/thumbnail/mmplus/01gxccr87eqyma2t1pn9/01gxccr87eqyma2t1pn9-674c0a4d3575c253f7d5226ef7bf67db.jpg]

Woods made three bogeys over his first seven holes before his first birdie of the day came on No. 8. He would soon give that shot back with a bogey on the par-4 11th before briefly catching a bit of fire towards the end of his second nine.

Consecutive birdies on Nos. 15 and 16 brought Woods back to 1 over on his round with a chance to get back to even on the 18th. A bogey on his final hole due to a difficult stance with his second shot sealed the deal for Woods, who walked off the course T-54.

“I didn’t have very good speed early. I had two three-putts, and consequently I’m a couple over par. I didn’t hit my irons close enough today,” Woods said of his round. “I didn’t give myself very good looks. Need to do a better job of that going forward to hopefully get myself back in this tournament.”

The best club in his bag early in the round was his driver, but a few late miscues led to 9-of-13 fairways hit, but his greens in regulation (13/17) was higher than the field average.

“I felt like I drove it good. I just didn’t do the job I need to do to get the ball close,” Woods explained. “Today was the opportune time to get the ball — get the round under par, and I didn’t do that today.

“Most of the guys are going low today. This was the day to do it. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be a little bit better, a little bit sharper, and kind of inch my way through it.

Still recovering from a single-car accident that nearly cost him his right leg – which is now held together by various rods, plates and bolts – Woods tried to hide his discomfort at times throughout the round, but a few grimaces were more than noticeable. He’s been adamant in the past that he can hit every shot, he just can’t walk, and noted earlier this week that his mobility isn’t up to par.

Woods had one word to describe his leg: “Sore.”

Friday’s second round will be a true test of Woods’ fitness and ability, where he’ll tee off at 1:24 p.m. ET once again alongside Viktor Hovland and Xander Schauffele.

“This is going to be an interesting finish to the tournament with the weather coming in,” said Woods, referencing the Friday and Saturday forecasts for thunderstorms and heavy rain. “If I can just kind of hang in there, maybe kind of inch my way back, hopefully it will be positive towards the end.”

Shot-by-shot updates: Tiger Woods’ 2-over 74 Thursday at the 2023 Masters

Woods shot a 1-under 71 in last year’s opening round at Augusta National. What will he do this year?

AUGUSTA, Ga. — If you couldn’t watch Tiger Woods’ opening round of the 2023 Masters, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.

The 15-time major champion is back at Augusta National and began his quest for a record-tying sixth green jacket on Thursday morning alongside Xander Schauffele and Viktor Hovland.

Woods, 47, made his return to competitive golf last April at Augusta National and made the cut just 14 months after a single-car accident where he nearly lost his leg. He then shot consecutive rounds of 6-over 78 on the weekend to finish 47th.

On Thursday he shot a 2-over 74 thanks to a handful of poor putts and iron shots. Follow every shot of Tiger’s opening round below with shot-by-shot updates from Augusta National.

‘I don’t know how many more I have in me’: Tiger Woods opens up on his Masters future at Augusta National

After making last year’s cut in his return to competition, Woods will look to win a record-tying sixth Masters this year.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – This time last year, Tiger Woods shocked the golf world for the umpteenth time.

The 15-time major champion returned to competition at the 2022 Masters just 14 months after a horrific single-car accident that nearly cost him his leg and managed to make the cut. Woods limped his way to the finish with a pair of weekend 78s, his worst-ever score here at Augusta National Golf Club, and at the time he didn’t know whether he’d be able to compete here ever again.

“Yeah, I don’t know how many more I have in me,” said Woods during his press conference ahead of this week’s 2023 Masters, his 25^th appearance. “So just to be able to appreciate the time that I have here and cherish the memories … it’s really neat to be able to come here and play this golf course and see all the past champions. I know more guys on the Champions tour than I do the regular tour.”

While Woods, 47, made several hints and references to his potential future on the PGA Tour Champions – the age cutoff is 50 for the senior circuit – his focus this week is on the task at hand: making the cut once again and contending for a record-tying sixth green jacket.

Masters 2023 leaderboard: Get the latest news from Augusta

Woods called his made cut in 2022 “a small victory in itself” and while he admitted his game and endurance are in better shape this year, his aches and pains are a bit more present this time around, and his mobility isn’t up to his lofty standards, either.

“As I sit here, I’ve said to you guys before, I’m very lucky to have this leg; it’s mine. Yes, it had been altered and there’s some hardware in there, but it’s still mine,” explained Woods. “It has been tough and will always be tough. The ability and endurance of what my leg will do going forward will never be the same. I understand that. That’s why I can’t prepare and play as many tournaments as I like, but that’s my future, and that’s OK. I’m OK with that.

“I just have to be cognizant of how much I can push it,” he added. “Like (Rory McIlroy) was saying, I can hit a lot of shots but the difficulty for me is going to be the walking going forward. It is what it is. I wish it could be easier.”

[pickup_prop id=”31989″]

Does he though? Woods has never been one to back down from adversity throughout his career, whether it be through his own fault or nagging injuries. But how has he been able to respond and answer the bell over the years?

“Stubbornness,” he said with a laugh. “I’m a little on the stubborn side. I believe in hard work, and I believe in getting out there and getting out of it what you put into it. I’ve worked very hard throughout my career and in my craft; I’ve always loved it.

“I’ve been stubborn and driven to come back and play at a high level. I think that has shown throughout my career and one of the reasons why I was able to — how many cuts I’ve been able to make in a row and how many tournaments I’ve been able to win over the course of my career, and that’s just hanging in there and fighting on each and every shot. It means something. Each and every shot means something.”

Especially at a course like Augusta National. Over the last few years fans have seen a different side of Woods. He’s enjoying his time on the course as his career continues its second nine, and he’s even sharing a bit more knowledge with other players every year he arrives down Magnolia Lane. Woods was lucky enough to play with the likes of Fred Couples, Raymond Floyd, Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal when he turned pro and made his first trip to Augusta, and praised them all for the insight they provided to another competitor.

“That’s what this tournament allows us to do, is pass on knowledge and gain knowledge from the past and apply it,” he said. “Whether I’m a threat to (other players) or not, who knows. People probably didn’t think I was a threat in 2019 either but kind of turned out OK.”

Photos: Rose Zhang meets Tiger Woods at Amen Corner, receives ovation from Masters patrons at Augusta National

The pair of Stanford stars met on Monday at Augusta National.

AUGUSTA, Georgia – As the Augusta National Women’s Amateur replayed on Golf Channel Monday morning, champion Rose Zhang was out on the back nine tracking Tiger Woods. Zhang got a prime seat at the back of the 12th tee alongside good friend and fellow NCAA champion Rachel Heck and waited for Woods, who was playing alongside Rory McIlroy and Fred Couples.

A member of Zhang’s team first got the attention of McIlroy, who nudged Woods to let him know that a fellow Cardinal was in the gallery.

“I got to shake hands with Rory and Tiger,” said Zhang with a wide smile. “And then Fred Couples came up and had me stand up. I was like, ‘Wow, I was really being put on the spot.’ ”

Zhang, 19, certainly deserved an ovation after clinching the ANWA in dramatic fashion on Saturday to add to one of the greatest amateur resumes the game has seen. Zhang joins Woods and Pat Hurst as one of three players to win the U.S. Amateur, U.S. Junior and NCAA Championship. She won the ANWA in her fourth attempt.

There’s a chance that Zhang could top Woods’ Stanford record in the coming weeks. The sophomore has won nine of 16 career starts for the Cardinal, including five of six this year. Woods holds the record for most wins at Stanford at 11, along with Maverick McNealy and Patrick Rodgers. Woods made 26 career starts in two years at Stanford.

Zhang, who first met Woods at the 2018 Junior Ryder Cup, has four events left on her spring schedule.

[pickup_prop id=”32841″]

After meeting with the press on Saturday, Zhang headed back over to Amen Corner to take sunset pictures with her team.

“It was perfect,” said Zhang. “Kind of the calm after the storm environment.”
