Tiger Woods etched his name into another piece of golf history on Saturday.
Woods had to finish his second round on Saturday morning after weather postponed the Masters and his round on Friday. He had seven holes remaining. He struggled to get warmed in temperatures that were around 40 degrees, shooting +1 through those six holes and finishing with a 73 in his second round.
It's not often a bogey-bogey finish in the second round gets you into the weekend at the Masters. But that's exactly what happened.

Much has been made about Woods' friendship with Justin Thomas. It was actually Thomas who helped Woods slide inside the cut line. Thomas also bogeyed his last two holes, but he finished at +4 after two rounds while Woods was +3 and tied for 48th. The top 50 including ties made the cut.
That is now Woods' 23rd consecutive cut made at the Masters from 1997-2023. There were years in which Woods did not participate in the Masters, but in every year he teed it up, Woods has made the cut.
He is now tied with Gary Player and Fred Couples for most consecutive cuts made at Augusta National. Couples made the cut this week, making the 63-year-old the oldest competitor to make the cut in Masters' history, but it was not a part of his consecutive streak.
Woods closed at -190 to make the cut at FanDuel. He opened as low as -140 at some sportsbooks.
BetMGM actually saw more action on Tiger to miss the cut than make the cut. At +150, Tiger to miss the cut received 59.2% of the tickets and accounted for 51.8% of the handle.
Plenty of those people with money on the line were on pins and needles as players came down the stretch on Saturday morning.
