AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods finished the Masters on Sunday with a record he could do without, walking off the course with a 16-over 304, his highest 72-hole rating in a profession that spans three many years.
Woods’ previous high was 302 on the Memorial in 2015 following a career-worst 85 within the third round. He has only did not break 300 one other time on the Masters was two years ago when he shot 78-78 on the weekend and finished at 301.
All of that hardly mattered to the gang.
The 48-year-old Woods, who continues to be coping with the results of various surgeries which have impacted his body and limited his playing time on the PGA Tour, received an enormous roar from the gang as he pitched near the opening on No. 18 and made par.
Wearing his traditional Sunday red, Woods tipped his hat the gang.
Woods was in last place among the many 60 players who made the cut when he finished. The previous time he finished in last place was within the 2020 Genesis Invitational at Riviera.
The patrons flocked to see the person who took golf’s popularity to recent heights, even when he isn’t been the dominant player he once was at Augusta National.
Woods hasn’t really been competitive here since 2020 when he finished tied for thirty eighth one yr after his stunning fifth victory at age 43.
He finished 13 over two years ago, then was forced to withdraw in 2023 within the third round because of injuries that weren’t helped by the cold, rainy weather that had taken a toll on his body.
For a short while this week Woods showed glimpses of the past.
He played the primary two rounds in 1 over to make the cut for a record twenty fourth time. But the ultimate two rounds were a struggle for Woods, who posted his worst round of his profession at a serious with an 82 on Saturday.
He played the ultimate 36 holes in 15 over, shooting 77 on Sunday in his one centesimal profession round on the Masters.
Before the round Woods appeared to receive some swing suggestions from his 15-year-old son Charlie on the practice range.
Things began off well enough, but that didn’t last long.
After playing the primary two holes in 1 under, Woods made a bogey on No. 3 before things began to unravel on the par-4 fifth hole when he took an unplayable lie andhad to be driven back to the tee box in a golf cart to hit again. He wound up with a triple-bogey 7.
He added one other bogey on the sixth.
He nearly chipped in from the sand on No. 16, giving fans a thrill and bringing back fond memories of his iconic chip in in 2005 en path to the fourth of his five championships at Augusta.
The once-dominant Woods played with Neal Shipley, the one amateur to make the cut on the Masters.
The age difference between the 2 was notable.
Woods’ streak of cuts made on the Masters began in 1997, before the 23-year-old Shipley was born.
Even with Woods being out of contention he still attracting the same old huge throng of fans eager simply to get a glimpse of the player that became the face of the game. Fans applaud after every Woods’ shot — good or bad — and proceed to shout encouragement his way.
