TIGER STILL A-CUT ABOVE

WATCHING Tiger Woods at the Masters is always memorable.

From winning his first Green Jacket as a 21-year-old here in 1997 to his fairy tale fifth in 2019, the American superstar has written unforgettable history here.

At the age of 48, he is now involved in negotiations with the Saudi Public Investment Fund over the future of golf and considering taking the Ryder Cup captaincy in 2025.

But the 15-time Major winner still has the "sheer determination" to set more records at Augusta National.

And yesterday, in winds gusting up to 35mph under clear blue skies, the world No. 959 forced himself to walk 23 holes to make his 24th consecutive cut and set a new mark ahead of Freddie Couples and Gary Player (inset).

And the huge crowds which still follow him show he is now the sentimental favourite.
