This means the 15-time major winner has missed the cut in three consecutive majors for the first time in 10 years. The last time this happened, Woods missed the U.S. Open, British Open and PGA Championship.
After Friday’s setback, the 48-year-old acknowledged that he plans to improve his game immediately, although he isn’t scheduled to play again until December. “I’m not going to play until then,” he told reporters. “I’m going to keep on improving my physical condition, keep on working hard and hopefully come back for my fifth major.”

“Physically I feel better than I did at the start of the year. At the end of last year it was tough and I couldn’t play much. A year has passed and I’m feeling better. “I wish I could have played more, but I’ll save it for the bigger tournaments in case I do something big and give up. Hopefully next year I’ll be better.” “I have to work a lot more in the gym and continue to progress. »
The three-time Open winner started Friday with a par on the first hole, but struggled on the second with a double bogey.

He followed up with a bogey on holes no. He finished with six over par after scores of 5, 9, 12, 14 and 17. The score put him in 149th place, four places from last place. “I’ve won the British Open Championship here in Scotland twice, so I’ve always enjoyed playing here,” Woods added. “I’ve enjoyed the different kinds of connections and challenges that Scotland brings. I missed playing Troon.
