Tiger Woods was back and competing at the 2024 British Open hoping he’d make it to Sunday at his fifth outing of 2024. He WD’d at the Genesis Invitational in Februrary, finished in 60th position at the Masters Tournament and missed the cut at the PGA Championship, the US Open and now the British Open.

Woods, 47, has struggled since his car accident and looks like he’s in pain every move he makes on the course. Fans were hoping to see a glimpse of his former self this week at Royal Troon.

Woods didn’t have all aspects of his game in Scotland as links golf was a bit too demanding for Tiger with trouble everywhere and cold, wet conditions.

Some experts have said they think Woods needs to get in more competitive rounds in order to compete at the major tournaments. He looked to be in better shape at the US Open, but he didn’t have enough to be competitive.

Tiger’s appearances in tournaments have come in dribs and drabs since his serious accident in 2021. Woods, with problems walking, has only competed in three tournaments this year: the Genesis Invitational, in which he was 43rd,was forced to withdraw, the Masters Tournament and the PGA Championship, where he missed the cut.

Tiger's record over the past 10 years

  • 2014: Played in seven tournaments with two cuts, two WDs and best finish T17 Hero World Challenge
  • 2015: 11 tournaments with four cuts, one WD and best result T10 at the Wyndham Championship.
  • 2016: One tournament at the Hero World Challenge (15)
  • 2017: Two tournaments - Best finish Hero World Challenge (T9)
  • 2018: 19 tournaments - Two cuts and and a win at the 2018 Tour Championship and second place at the PGA Championship
  • 2019: Two cuts and a win at the 2019 Masters
  • 2020: Three tournaments, cut at 2020 US Open and T38 at the Masters
  • 2021: No tournaments
  • 2022: Three tournaments: Masters (47), PGA Championship WD and British Open (cut)
  • 2023: Three tournaments: Masters (WD), best finish Hero World Challenges (18)

Woods’ last major glory came at the 2019 Masters, where he held off several top players to win by one shot. It was the first major win for Woods in 11 years.

Woods has struggled as of late and we’ll have to wait and see when his next appearance will be. His 14-over par at Royal Troon will give him something to think about for the future. Was the 2024 British Open his last major appearance?
