Ahead of the start of the Masters Tournament, golf legend Tiger Woods was one of the most talked about players over his fitness concerns. The 47-year-old isn’t getting any younger, and his severe injuries have left him in a physically dire spot. But while the golfer has made the cut at the ongoing major, his struggles have left his loyal fans virtually in tears.

Scoring three-over par after 36 holes, the golf legend made the cut on the line to preserve his stupendous record in fairly difficult conditions. However, the fragilities of the 82-time PGA Tour champion were laid bare, which showed Woods having serious difficulties walking in overcast conditions.

No way he can continue tomorrow, he extended the cut streak which is good enough for this week. Get ready for the PGA

How is Woods holding up at the Masters?
The five-time Green Jacket winner didn’t make the greatest start to the tournament, shooting two-over par in the opening round. With pressure mounting over a delayed finish in the second round, Woods managed to score 73 to make it to the weekend.
However, his third round was nothing short of a disaster. The golf great visibly struggled in unfavorable conditions, hitting double bogeys to shoot an awful six-over par in the first seven holes.

Tiger Woods has my permission to WD. Save the back/leg/foot/whatever else Big Cat. You’ve proved enough.
We’ll see you in May (hopefully.) #TheMasters pic.twitter.com/H1MdPQY2pA

But in a much-required respite for Woods, the play was halted again due to rain. The pause in the game could be a time for reflection, considering the golf great is nowhere near to clinching his sixth Masters title.
