Despite racking up the worst score of his professional career this past weekend at the 2024 Masters tournament, Tiger Woods seemed to be in positive spirits about his return to the sport and vowed to enter three more major events later this year.
Woods, 48, finished the Masters tournament 16-over par, the highest he’s ever gone over throughout his decorated and legendary career.
While the career-high score kept him far away from contention this weekend, Woods still made history by making his 24th consecutive cut at the marquee tournament. (PGA tournaments are played over a series of four days, with roughly half the field cut from the tournament after the first two days if they don’t score high enough.)
The PGA Tour celebrated Woods’ record-breaking accomplishment on Friday afternoon, while the five-time Masters tournament winner told ESPN he felt he still had a “chance to win” the tournament after making the cut.
It was also Woods’ first competitive round of golf since February, when the Associated Press reported he withdrew from the Genesis Invitational due to “flu-like symptoms and dehydration.”
Overall, Woods still called it a “good week” and said he plans to enter the PGA Championship tournament in May, as well as the U.S. Open in June and the British Open in July.
“I’m just going to keep lifting, keep the motor going, keep the body moving, keep getting stronger, keep progressing,” Woods said, per the outlet. “Hopefully the practice sessions will keep getting longer.”
