The golf world is buzzing with excitement as the 2024 Masters Tournament is almost halfway! At the start of the competition, 89 players started, but after Friday, the top 50 on the leaderboard, including ties, will continue through the weekend.

Finishing the second round at par and overall at 1 over, the 15x major champion has made the cut for the 24th consecutive time. When Woods made the cut, the projected cutline was 3 over. This might be Woods’s 24th straight cut, but he still has a long way to go to beat the record for the highest number of cuts made at the Masters, which is 37 by Golden Bear.

Bryson DeChambeau leads the field at the moment, along with other leaderboard toppers such as Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa, Nicolai Hojgaard, Danny Willet, Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler, Ludvig Aberg, and others who have also made the cut. Neal Shipley, an amateur, finished at 3 over, and made the cut. At present, the projected cut line for the tournament is 4 over. Many other golfers on the leaderboard will be playing through the weekend!

Statistics indicate that Keegan Bradley’s prospects of making it to the weekend are still quite slim.
