Tiger Woods accidentally hits spectator with errant shot at The Masters, causing them to fall.
During the second round of the 2024 Masters, Tiger Woods found himself in the midst of an eventful day at Augusta National. While navigating his way through the course, Woods unleashed a powerful shot from the trees that unfortunately veered off course and struck a fan in the crowd. Despite Woods’ immediate warning shout of “fore,” the ball struck one of the spectators, causing them to fall to the ground. Concerned for the individual’s well-being, Woods quickly approached the area where his ball had landed, relieved to find that there were no serious injuries.
Despite the incident, Woods showcased his resilience and skill on the course, delivering a record-breaking performance at Augusta. By the end of round two, Woods had made history by becoming the first player ever to make 24 consecutive cuts at the Masters, finishing just one over par for the day. With steady play throughout the wind-swept round, Woods managed to maintain his composure and secure his position above the cut line, ultimately finishing tied for 24th after 36 holes.
Meanwhile, reigning champion Jon Rahm faced a moment of uncertainty as he teetered on the brink of missing the cut. However, a late surge with back-to-back birdies helped Rahm narrowly avoid elimination, finishing with a five-over par score. Unfortunately for Viktor Hovland, the day proved to be a struggle as he ended eight over par, falling short of the cut line.
At the top of the leaderboard, it was an American trio leading the charge after the first 36 holes, with Bryson DeChambeau, Scottie Scheffler, and Max Homa all tied at six under par. Among them, 2022 Masters winner and world No.1 Scottie Scheffler emerged as the favorite to secure a second green jacket, with the 27-year-old poised to make a strong push for victory by the end of the tournament on Sunday evening.
