Woods has a stellar track record overall at The Masters in his unreal career, a five-time winner of the Green Jacket, the second-most in golf history. But there's more than that to consider as well. Even beyond the wins, he's been exceptional at this venue throughout his career with a number of other great finishes that didn't end with hardware.
So that had fans asking about the most consecutive made cuts at The Masters, a mark Woods is trying to set. Let's take a look at all of the made cut records at Augusta National.

The impressiveness of Tiger's streak is really highlighted by the active streaks. He's nine made cuts clear of the next closest, Adam Scott, who is 43 years old and would face a tall task to get to that 23 number. Justin Thomas may have the most realistic chance if he can continue to see weekends at Augusta at just 30 years old.
