Tiger Woods makes record 24th consecutive cut at the Masters

He carded a 36-hole score of 1-over par to make sure that he’ll be well inside the projected cut line of +4. Woods currently sits in a tie for 24th place on the leaderboard. Simply making the cut for him this year has been very impressive, no doubt about it. And making that many consecutive cuts at Augusta National is perhaps one of the most impressive accomplishments of his career. When you add in the varying levels of weather and just how fickle the game of golf can be at times, that level of consistency is amazing.

For one, the conditions at Augusta National have been the toughest in several years in the second round, with the tall, towering pines swirling the unpredictable winds all around the golf course. The wind routinely blew at about 20 miles per hour on Friday, with gusts kicking up to 40 miles per hour in certain instances. The wind was so strong you could see wind getting blown out of the sand traps at Augusta National.

There were many other extremely talented golfers that won’t be playing this weekend. Justin Rose shot 7-over, Jordan Spieth was 9-over, Brian Harman was 9-over, and Dustin Johnson, the former No. 1 in the world, shot 13-over par.

Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau are currently tied for the lead at 7-under par. Brooks Koepka shot 2-over par to ensure he’ll be playing this weekend. But that’s surely a disappointing start for a player who’s consistently expected to contend in all of the majors. There have been a few surprises atop the leaderboard, with Max Homa firing a 6-under par for the first two days to be in third place. Before this year, Homa had missed the cut twice and finished T48 and T43 in his previous four appearances at The Masters.

There are still 36 holes of golf left for most of the field, so plenty can happen. The weather is expected to be much more conducive to better scoring over the weekend, with the winds calming down the final two days of the tournament.

According to Justin Ray, the scoring average for the field in Round 2 was 75.17. That’s on pace for the highest scoring average in Round 2 at The Masters since 2007. There are still plenty of golfers left out on the course, so those numbers could change later this evening.
