Tiger Woods made the cut at the Masters Tournament for the 23rd consecutive time on Saturday. Woods’ record-tying performance grabbed headlines all over. But an absolutely brutal video of the legendary golfer attempting to patrol Augusta National went viral as well.
Woods could be seen hobbling on the green on a rain-soaked afternoon. The golf icon has dealt with significant knee and leg issues that have affected him for years and the tournament this weekend.
Woods has been hobbling and moving around gingerly throughout the weekend. Despite that, he’s played hard and was able to make the cut to keep playing golf this weekend. He sits 54th on the leaderboard, right on the cut line.
Play has been suspended due to inclement weather on Saturday again. This came after play at the Masters was halted on Friday due to weather and down trees.
The viral video of Tiger Woods grabbed hundreds of thousands on Twitter. McNeil’s post above has racked up over 380,000 views to this point.
“Heartbreaking,” one user reacted.
“How I look after sleeping in a recliner with a 2-year-old last night,” another fan joked.

Elsewhere, “I often feel exactly the same way on Monday morning,” was tweeted by another user.
“At this point seeing Tiger is like seeing older famous rock bands,” former MLB pitcher Brian Omogrosso tweeted. “They don’t have their fastball anymore but it’s good to see living legends doing their thing.”
Dave Ross worried Woods might withdraw from the Masters after seeing the brutal footage.
