Tiger Woods Makes Cut at 2023 Masters, Matches All-Time Record

Woods signed for a 73 on Saturday and joined two players at the top of an impressive list.

AUGUSTA, Ga.—Tiger Woods made the cut at the 2023 Masters and entered the record book in the process.

Woods finished his rain-delayed second round Saturday morning and signed for a one-over 73 to make the cut on the number. Woods has now reached the weekend in 23 consecutive years here, matching the all-time cut-streak record held by Fred Couples and Gary Player.

Saturday featured suboptimal conditions for Woods, given his foot, ankle and back injuries, but he was able to birdie the par-5 15th hole, after hitting the flagstick with his approach, to give himself a cushion heading into the homestretch. But he hit wayward drives on both 17 and 18, failed to reach the greens in regulation and bogeyed both holes.

The cutline came down to the wire, but it moved up to 3-over after Justin Thomas bogeyed the 17th hole about 30 minutes after Woods finished his round.

Adam Scott has the second-longest active cuts streak with 14. He also advanced to the weekend on Saturday.

Couples's cut streak is long over, but he also made the cut on Saturday and became, at age 63, the oldest player to ever make the weekend at the Masters.
