WATCH: Tiger Woods finishes second round, makes cut at The Masters

Tiger Woods carded a 74 in the second round on Friday to make the cut in his first appearance at The Masters since his horrific car accident. With the projected line set at plus-4 to advance into the weekend rounds, he finished plus-1 with plenty of room to spare.

Entering the weekend, Tiger Woods sits in a tie for 19th place and is nine shots behind the leader, but just four shots behind second place after the second round.

After making four bogeys on the first seven holes to move back to plus-3 for the week, he left himself just one stroke away from the projected cut line of plus-4. Despite some inconsistent shots early, Woods has continued to battle back.

Woods’ best run of the day, during which he birdied the 13th and 14th holes to get back to plus-1 for the week, got the Augusta National crowd excited. He followed that with pars on 15, 16, 17 and 18 to come into the clubhouse at plus-2 for the day.

Tiger Woods at The Masters

Woods’ comeback story is one for the ages. In February 2021, Woods suffered severe leg injuries in a car accident and underwent emergency surgery to repair compound fractures and a shattered ankle. It wasn’t clear if he’d ever play competitive golf again, but he played in the PNC Championship in December 2021, less than 10 months after the crash. Woods and his son, Charlie, finished second in the two-player event behind John Daly and his son, John Daly II. He rode in a cart for the event, but walked Augusta National in the days leading up to The Masters.

Woods hasn’t played in an official PGA Tour tournament since the 2020 Masters, which were held in November 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, he’s hoping to pull off another impressive comeback — although this one’s more amazing than the last one.

Woods’ 2019 Masters victory was his first major tournament win since the 2008 US Open. Between those wins, he dealt with injuries and underwent multiple back surgeries, which is why that victory was so special.

The Masters run Thursday-Sunday at Augusta National, and Woods entered Tuesday with 55/1 odds of winning the tournament, according to VegasInsider. A reporter asked him if Woods thinks he’d be able to win this week, and he had two words.

“I do,” he said.
