Woods insisted he could challenge for a 16th major title after playing 23 holes on Friday to make a record 24th consecutive cut, but slumped to a third round of 82 instead.
The 48-year-old’s previous worst scores both came in 2022, when he shot 78 in both the third and fourth rounds.
Woods followed a bogey on the fourth with a superb birdie on the difficult fifth, but then bogeyed the sixth and ran up a double bogey on the seventh.

The 15-time major winner also made a double bogey on the par-five eighth for the first time in his career and dropped another shot on the ninth in a front nine of 42.
Woods made five more bogeys and a birdie on the 13th in a back nine of 40 in what was his 99th round in the Masters.
