Tiger Woods earns another RECORD as he makes Masters cut on the number!
Five-time Masters winner Tiger Woods has made the cut at Augusta National for the 23rd consecutive time.
Tiger Woods continues to show the golf world how incredible he is around the Augusta National greens as the five-time Masters winner has matched the record for most consecutive cuts made at the season's first major with 23.
Gary Player (from 1959-1982) and Fred Couples (from 1983-2007) had both previously made 23 consecutive cuts at the tournament.
The only time Woods has missed the cut at Augusta was in 1996.

Couples made his own history at this year's tournament as he became the oldest player to make the cut in the history of the tournament.
Woods famously made the cut at last year's tournament despite being only just over a year removed from his February 2021 car accident. He did not play in the tournament that year.
This time around, the 47-year-old got off to a rocky start on Thursday, carding a 2-over 74 that was riddled with bogeys.
However, Woods was able to bounce back in the second round, which was played across both Friday and Saturday due to weather conditions suspending play on Friday.
The highlight of the 15-time major champion's second round was converting a 25-footer for birdie on the par-5 15th, especially after his approach shot clattered into the flagstick.

Despite making bogeys on 17 and 18 as he returned to complete his second round on a dark, wet and gloomy Saturday morning, Woods completed 36 holes with a tournament score of 3-over par to make the Masters cut on the number.
Woods does, however, find himself 15 shots behind 36-hole leader Brooks Koepka, who is at 12-under par.
World No.3 Jon Rahm returned on Saturday morning to return a round of 69 and he finds himself just two shots behind LIV Golf's Koepka.

With one more win at Augusta, Woods would match Jack Nicklaus' record for most Masters wins with six.
He would also break the record he currently shares with Sam Snead of PGA Tour wins, as it would move him to 83. He'd also move one step closer to Nicklaus' total major wins record of 18.
The 2023 Masters is only Woods' second event of the 2022-23 PGA Tour season after making his debut at the Genesis Invitational in February, a tournament that he also hosts. He finished tied for 45th at the designated PGA Tour event.
