AUGUSTA, Ga. — After two rounds to remember Tiger Woods had a round to forget on Saturday at the 2024 Masters.
The five-time winner of the Green Jacket signed for a whopping 10-over 82, his worst-ever score at Augusta National Golf Club, one of his favorite courses in the world. Woods shot his highest-ever first-nine score, a 6-over 42, and proceeded to struggle to get back to the clubhouse on the second nine.
That got us thinking, how many other times has the 82-time PGA Tour winner shot in the 80s? Here’s a list of all the times Tiger Woods has shot 80 (or worse) in a professional event.

One birdie, four water balls and a closing quadruple bogey led to his worst score ever in a pro event. Playing in the same group, Zac Blair shot 70 that day. Dustin Johnson and Keegan Bradley each shot 65 in those same conditions.

The five-time Green Jacket winner carded his worst-ever performance on the first nine at Augusta National Golf Club in his 99 rounds at the Masters, a six-over 42 that featured a closing stretch of bogey-double-double-bogey. His second nine wasn’t much better as Woods labored his way down the stretch to the tune of a third-round, 10-over 82, his highest score ever at the Masters. His previous worst score were the pair of weekend 78s he shot to close out the 2022 Masters, where he finished 47th out of 52 players.

This round featured a double bogey followed by a triple bogey, which will go down as statistically the worst two-hole stretch of his career. He finished with a bogey at the par-4 ninth to seal that fate.

An 81 is wild, but what’s even crazier is the fact he shaved 16 shots in the final round on Sunday and shot 65 on Sunday to secure a T-28 finish. He then won his next start at the Buick Open.

Woods made just one birdie in his opening round at Chambers Bay, hit half of the greens in regulation and was 15 shots worse than Dustin Johnson and Henrik Stenson, who each shot 65. Tough scene.

Woods was an 18-year-old amateur, so this one could be considered a throwaway. But the world got a glimpse of the future 15-time major winner on a big stage and he had an early “Welcome to the PGA Tour” moment.
