Tiger Woods made history by becoming the first player to make the cut 24 times in a row during Friday’s play. This achievement was particularly impressive considering the 48-year-old’s struggles with numerous injuries over the past two years. Woods underwent a microdiscectomy to address a disc fragment causing him nerve pain in 2021, in addition to undergoing surgery on his right foot in April 2023.
Despite these challenges, Woods continues to demonstrate his brilliance on the golf course, prompting concerns from fans about his physical health. A video of Woods applying what appeared to be pain relief ointments or cream to his back sparked worry among golf fans, especially after he completed 23 grueling holes at August. Observers commented on the visible toll the game was taking on Woods, expressing admiration for his perseverance and toughness.
Despite his injuries impacting his swing and overall game, Woods managed to make the cut after finishing +1 from the first two rounds. He expressed his confidence in his ability to compete, stating that anyone who makes the cut has a chance to win. Woods remains determined and optimistic about his future in golf, expressing his belief in the possibility of securing a sixth and final Masters title.
He acknowledged the challenges he has faced with his health and game readiness, but emphasized his commitment to participating in major championships. Despite his absence from recent events due to his physical condition, Woods maintains his focus on the upcoming tournaments and his desire to achieve further success in the sport.
