It seems WD is out of the picture for Tiger Woods at the 2024 Masters! Interestingly, the golfer had started the third round while being in the top 20s on the leaderboard. However, sadly, Saturday didn’t go so well for the legend of the game, as he could only card a 10-over 82 after the round’s end. But even so, the 48-year-old has already shrugged off any speculations of him not playing the final day or pulling out from the round despite being seen using pain patches on Friday.
Woods was spotted in an interview post the day’s play at the Augusta National. At the same time, when asked about being ready for the final day, the 15-time major champ exuded confidence as he mentioned how he would be ready for the round. Responding to the query, he said, “My team will get me ready. Club has been awesome. It will be a long night and a long warmup session, but we’ll be ready.”
Tiger Woods carded a total of eight bogeys, with five of them coming off the second nine, and also scored two double bogeys at the par-4, Pampas (No.7) and par-5, Yellow Jasmine (No.8). What’s more, the pro also managed to dish out two birdies, one which he did so at the par-4, Magnolia (No.5) and the second which came at the par-5, Azalea (No.13)

Meanwhile, after Friday, the legend scripted history by becoming the first player in the sport to make 24 consecutive cuts at the Masters. Unfortunately, advancing through a not-so-simple terrain at the Augusta for two days, with him playing a total of 23 rounds on the second day alone (remaining the 1st round and the second round), did not bide well, it seems for the golfer, seeing as to how he struggled on Saturday.
Moreover, Woods was spotted with a pain patch attached to his lower spine and torso. That’s not all. Along with the adhesive pain-relief measure on his body, the golfer also was seen applying icy hot to his body, all the while throwing concern over his health during the second round of the major championship. Consequently, all of these built up and the golfer could only end his third day with his worst-ever Masters score.
Just a day before what will be another milestone in his career, i.e., a 100th round at the Masters, the American pro ended up registering his worst score ever in not just the Masters but in his major career. Also, apart from the recent display, Woods has only gone over 80 a total of two times, the first in the 3rd round of the 2002 Open Championship, with the second coming off at the first round of the 2015 U.S. Open.
