Tiger Woods’ score: Complete Round 2 results, highlights from 2022 Masters return

The improbable return of Tiger Woods will continue.

Though Woods struggled early in his second round at the 2022 Masters Tournament, he finished his afternoon with four birdies to keep his score at just 1 over par, more than enough to securely finish over the cut for the third and fourth rounds.

Woods came into the day 1 under par, but there was a point early in the second round where it seemed that Woods might be in trouble in his second day at Augusta. Woods bogeyed on the first hole and then did so again on the third, fourth and fifth holes to reach 4 over on the day and 3 over in the tournament, putting him on the verge of the cut line.

It didn’t take long for Woods to find his stroke again. He hit a birdie on the eighth hole and again on the 10th to go two under. Two bogeys pushed him back to 3 over for the tournament, but he followed those up with two more birdies to go back at 1 over. He finished his day with four straight pars.

On Thursday, Wood had struggled the most with his long game, hooking a few drives early, but saving par consistently on the green. Friday, the strengths were swapped as he found more success off the tee and keeping his shots on the fairway, but missing several putts for par and a few for birdie.

But for Woods, the improbable return to the PGA Tour will continue on. As he left the course, the projected cut line was at +4, easily projecting him to advance to the next round.

Woods has only once missed the cut at the Masters, which came back when he was an amateur in 1996. Once it is made official, this will be the 23rd time he makes the cut.

Shot 3: From back-to-back bogeys to back-to-back birdies. Woods is back to only 2 over for the round and 1 over for the tournament. With the cut line currently at 4 over, he's looking good with four holes left.

Shot 2: Another fantastic approach for Woods. The ball hits the green and rolls back toward the hole. Will have a chance to putt for back-to-back birdies.

Shot 3: Woods putts for birdie. Great turnaround for Woods in his second round.

Shot 2: Incredible shot by Woods. He drops it just to the right of the hole, and should have a birdie putt from just a few feet away.

Shot 1: Woods keeps his drive on the fairway, though it trickles a bit downhill. He seems to have turned things around after a rough start to his afternoon.

Hole 9, Par 4

Shot 4: Woods collects his first birdie of the day. Important putt for him.

Shot 3: Woods finished with a bogey on this hole yesterday. This wedge shot by Woods rolls right next to the hole. He has a very makable birdie putt coming up.

Shot 2: Excellent shot by Woods puts him just outside the green. He's set up nicely to potentially go for a birdie on this hole.

Shot 1: Woods' drive stays just on the fairway on a hole that gave him issues yesterday. 

Hole 7, Par 4

Shot 4: Woods saves par.

Shot 3: Woods' putt sails to the right and went too far past the hole.

Shot 2: Solid approach by Woods as he lands on the green and sets himself up for a birdie putt.

Shot 1: Woods with his best drive of the tournament, carrying 295 yards and spotting him on the fairway. Great start to the seventh hole.

Hole 6, Par 3

Shot 3: Woods finishes the putt for par.

Shot 2: Putt nearly reaches for birdie, but again finishes up just short. Should at least snap his streak of three straight bogeys.

Shot 1: Woods starts the sixth hole on the green, but the ball does trickle away a little bit. He'll get a chance to putt for birdie.

Hole 5, Par 4

Shot 5: Woods finishes with a bogey, the fourth in his first five holes today. 

Shot 4: Another missed opportunity for Woods to save par as this shot just lips around the edge and past the hole. 

Shot 3: Good shot for Woods to help set him up for par. He needs this par to avoid getting any closer to the cut line, which is currently projected as anything above 3 over.

Shot 2: Woods with the quick lay up shot to get back onto the fairway.

Shot 1: Woods' drive hooks far right into the crowd and appears to have landed in the pine straw by the trees.

Hole 4, Par 3

Shot 4: He nudges it in to finish with another bogey.

Shot 3: The putt does not have enough behind it to reach the hole. Comes up just short.

Shot 2: Woods' approach initially seemed to work, but the ball rolled a ways on the green. Will take a long putt to make par, and if he doesn't, he's in risk of being 3 over early in the second round.

Shot 1: Woods' shot comes up just short of the green on the par 3, and rolls down the hill below the bunker. He'll be aiming for par.

Hole 3, Par 4

Shot 5: Woods with another bogey. He's officially 1 over for the tournament.

Shot 4: Woods' attempt to save par cuts just to the left. Second time he's missed a putt for par today.

Shot 3: Easy shot by Woods to spot the ball near the hole. His putt will be just a few feet off to make par.

Shot 2: Woods' shot looked like it got caught up in the wind, and drifts just right of the green. 

Shot 1: The drive for Woods on the third hole lands on the fairway. Good start after landing in the bunker on his previous two drives.

Hole 2, Par 5

Shot 5: Woods finishes with par at the second hole.

Shot 4: Woods comes up just short of birdie, with his putt coasting just wide left. Should be able to make par.

Shot 3: Woods' approach gets him onto the green, but it's a bit short of the hole. He'll have to putt uphill to make birdie.

Shot 2: Solid lay up for Woods to position himself close to the green. Still has a chance to make birdie on the par 5.

Shot 1: A second straight fairway bunker off the tee for Woods. Not what he wants to start on a par 5.

Hole 1, Par 4

Shot 5: He settles for the bogey on the first hole.

Shot 4: Woods' putt just misses wide left. He'll miss par.

Shot 3: Woods' short game continues to be strong from yesterday. His third shot sets him up with a decent chance to save par.

Shot 2: Woods misses the green as his shot rolls down to the right.

Shot 1: Woods' first tee shot looks promising, though it lands in the middle of the fairway bunker. Plenty of speculation as to how he would respond after resting following a full day of golf on Thursday. Doesn't appear too fatigued. 145 yards to the hole.
