When thinking of Augusta National, what is the first thing that comes to mind?
Is it the manicured grounds, the famous Masters logo, the excitement of tradition and competition? Or is it one of the golfers most synonymous with victory in Augusta, Georgia?
Tiger Woods has played in 25 Masters Tournaments and totaled five victories. The only golfer to have won more at Augusta National Golf Club is Jack Nicklaus, who has six green jackets, in 45 total starts there.

2020
Woods again made the cut in the fall edition of the Masters, happening in November of 2020. He closed with a 4-over 76, which tied his highest score ever in the Masters (at the time) as a professional and included a 10 at the par-3 12th, his highest score ever recorded on any hole in his PGA Tour career. Despite finishing with four consecutive birdies and five on his last six holes, Woods finished the 84th Masters at 1-under 287 with rounds of 68-71-72-76.
2022
One of the most improbable comebacks during Woods’ career, Tiger returned to Augusta National for his first tournament since a car accident 14 month prior nearly ended his life. He shot 71 in the first round and followed it up with a 74, but rounds of 78 on the weekend helped him finish T-47, but he made the cut for the 22nd straight time.
2023
Tiger made the cut, his 23rd straight made cut at the Masters, which moved him into a tie with Gary Player and Fred Couples. The 15-time major champion and five-time Masters champ, however, withdrew from the 2023 tournament ahead of the final round, citing injury.
“I am disappointed to have to WD this morning due to reaggravating my plantar fasciitis,” Woods shared on Twitter.
When play was suspended for the day due to inclement weather on Saturday afternoon, Woods was in dead last among those who made the cut at 9 over for the tournament and 6 over on the round through seven holes after starting on No. 10.
It was the first time he had to WD from the Masters.
