Tiger Woods Makes Cut At Masters As Scheffler Leads...
Tiger Woods defied expectations by making the cut at the 2026 Masters Tournament, while world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler holds a two-stroke lead heading into the weekend. The 50-year-old golf legend carded a second-round 72 at Augusta National to continue his record streak of 24 consecutive Masters cuts made.
Scheffler sits at 10-under par after shooting 67-67, with rising star Ludvig Ã…berg (-8) and veteran Justin Thomas (-7) closest behind. Woods' resilience is drawing attention as he battles lingering injuries and becomes the oldest player to make the Masters cut since 2015.
The tournament is trending today as weekend coverage begins on CBS, with millions tuning in to see if Woods can mount a charge or if Scheffler will claim his third green jacket. Augusta National's famed Amen Corner proved pivotal Friday, with several contenders seeing their rounds unravel at the treacherous 11th-13th stretch.
Weather forecasts show possible rain delays Saturday afternoon, potentially creating softer conditions that could benefit longer hitters like Scheffler. Tournament officials moved up tee times to 7:30 a.m. ET in anticipation of afternoon thunderstorms.
Woods will tee off at 9:12 a.m. Saturday alongside Max Homa, while Scheffler's group starts at 2:35 p.m. The Masters app has seen record traffic this week, with live stream views up 38% over last year's tournament according to Augusta National officials.
