{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}More than a year after suffering a serious leg injury in a 2021 car crash, Tiger Woods has made the cut in his 22nd straight Masters.
Woods finished up the second round at Augusta National Golf club shooting a 74 and tied for 19th after stumbling through the first nine. His 2-over par for the day was slightly off from his 1-under par performance on Thursday.
