Tiger Woods is no stranger to making history at Augusta National, so it isn’t surprising to see him making some more at the 2024 Masters. Woods made the cut on Friday and set a new record in the process.

Woods has now made the cut at the Masters for 24 consecutive times, more than any other player in the Masters history. He was previously tied with Fred Couples and Gary Player with 23 straight cuts made.

When asked about the record, Woods didn’t waste too much time celebrating. Instead, he remained focused on the task at hand.

“It means I have a chance going into the weekend,” Woods said. “I’m here. I have a chance to win the golf tournament. I don’t know if they’re all going to finish today, but I’m done. I got my two rounds in. Just need some food and some caffeine, and I’ll be good to go.”

While Woods’ is a long shot to threaten the Top 10 at this year’s tournament due to all of the injuries he has been dealing with in recent years, it would be foolish to count him out. After all, he won Masters five times, including in 2019, when no one gave him a chance.

Gunner's favorite movies are Pulp Fiction, Iron Man (just the first one), and every James Bond film ever made. He's learning TV and cinema and hoping to always enjoy movies as he does now.
