Tiger Woods Finishes Last At 2024 Masters Following Highest Total Score Of Pro Career

EXCERPT:
iger Woods’ return to Augusta saw the 15-time Major winner finish in last place at The Masters, but he has still vowed to play in the rest of the Majors this year.
Woods made more history after making the cut for an impressive 24th consecutive time at Augusta, but he struggled badly over the weekend as he finished on +16 in total following a final round 77.
That left Woods, 48, at the bottom of the field of players who made the cut from the initial 89 pros who teed it up on Thursday. His +16 total was also highest 72-hole score in a career that spans almost three decades.
Woods’ finish is a rare place for the 15-time Major champion to find himself. At events in which he’s made the cut, Woods has finished last just twice. That was at the 2015 Memorial Tournament, where he shot a third-round 85, and the 2020 Genesis Open, where he finished 68th after a final-round 77 in his last event pre-Covid.
Wearing his traditional Sunday Red, Woods appeared to receive some swing tips from his 15-year-old son Charlie on the practice range. He then made a promising enough start to his fourth round at Augusta with a birdie on the par 5 second before dropping six shots including a triple bogey seven on the fifth as he reached the turn at four-over.
Masters Champion Scottie Scheffler credits his faith after Sunday victory:

It was a great Masters Tournament!
We were surprised Tiger made the cut.
American golfer Scottie Scheffler triumphed at the 2024 Masters Tournament in Augusta on Sunday, but it is his comments about his faith that have also garnered attention in Christian circles.
Scheffler, the favorite going into the tournament and the number-one-ranked golfer in the world, won by an impressive four shots, defeating Sweden's Ludvig Aberg, England's Tommy Fleetwood (69) and fellow Americans and Collin Morikawa and Max Homa.
When asked earlier in the week as to whether golf defines him, Schleffer said it did not. “I'm a faithful guy,” he responded. “I believe in a Creator. I believe in Jesus. Ultimately, I think that's what defines me the most.”
Last place paid out- $39,600, for 4 days “play” or “work”. A pretty good “minimum” wage...
