"Time to hang it up", “He looks defeated” - Fans react as Tiger Woods sits dead last on the 2024 Masters leaderboard

The 2024 Masters is coming to an end, and Tiger Woods has had an eventful campaign so far. Woods made the cut over the weekend but he is currently sitting dead last on the leaderboard.

The Augusta National Course has been a tough one to manage so far, especially in windy conditions and sandstorms. Woods is currently in the middle of the fourth round with an overall score of +14 (at the time of writing), putting him in 60th place.

While Woods did make the cut at the 2024 Masters, his play on the course has not been particularly good. Woods has been rather rusty, especially after withdrawing from the 2024 Genesis Invitational. He skipped other prominent events, including the Players and the Arnold Palmer Invitational to prepare for the Masters.

While fans were excited to see Tiger Woods return on the course again after several months, the build-up died down quite fast with many thinking that it was time for him to hang up his golf clubs.

One fan said:

"He looks defeated. Hopefully it’s something he can build on and continue to get his body stronger."

"Time to hang it up," wrote another fan.

"Sorry to say but maybe it’s time to just play a few tournaments as a ceremonial good bye and be done," one fan said.

"Can’t expect to compete when you’re not playing competitive golf regularly," another fan replied.

"I love it please retire it’s a bad way to be remembered."

"Just needs to retire already."

Others, however, defended Woods, saying:

"He made the cut while superstars missed it. He’s fine just had a rough 2 days putting and iron play," one fan remarked.

"He’s a winner for just playing," another remarked.

Tiger Woods will be hoping to finish off the Masters this year, which in itself will be an achievement for him considering that he withdrew from the 2023 Masters.
