Tiger Woods made the cut Saturday at the Masters – for the 23rd time in a row – finishing the first 36 holes at 3-over. The streak of making the cut ties the tournament record shared by Gary Player and Fred Couples.
Woods began the day with a chance to play the weekend and was comfortably above the cut line when he made a birdie on No. 15. But he bogeyed the last two holes and had to wait for the cut line to move.
Brooks Koepka (12-under) goes into the third round on top of the leaderboard. He holds a two-shot lead over Jon Rahm. Amateur Sam Bennett is alone in third at 8-under, followed by Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland at 6-under.
Saturday’s third round will start off with rainy weather as players adjust to the cold and windy temperatures at Augusta.
Tiger Woods started the third round of the Masters on Saturday afternoon with the rain coming down around him. The five-time champion teed off at hole No. 10 with Thomas Pieters and Sungjae Im. He was wearing a vest and a beanie over his hat to keep warm.

— Jace Evans
Saturday afternoon in the third round at 1:06 p.m. ET from tee No. 10. He will play in the last wave of the day with Thomas Pieters and Sungjae Im.
Yet no more than 90 minutes after the incident, the Masters announced that ticket gates for spectators would open as scheduled Saturday morning at 7 a.m. In other words, fans will be back on the grounds in droves and it will be business as usual at the first men’s major golf tournament of the year.
Clearly, the leaders of Augusta National are gambling that in the midst of severe weather that is expected to continue throughout Friday evening, including heavy rain and high winds, all their other trees — thousands of them — are safe and stable and nothing like this will happen again.
