Tiger Woods found himself in the unusual position of finishing the Masters at the bottom of the leaderboard in Augusta, Georgia on Sunday.

After playing the first two rounds of the Masters in 1-over 243 and making the cut for a record 24th time, Woods shot 77 on Sunday to finish 16-over for the tournament. 

Sunday marked his 100th round at the Masters, but it was far from his best as the golf legend shot an ugly 40 on the front nine. That came on the heels of an 82 on Saturday - his worst round ever at a major.

Before the round Woods, dressed in his traditional Sunday red, appeared to receive some swing tips from his teenage son Charlie on the practice range.

Things started off well enough for the 48-year-old Woods, but that didn't last long.

After playing the first two holes in 1 under, Woods made a bogey on No. 3 before things started to unravel on the par-4 fifth hole when he took an unplayable lie and was driven back to the tee box in a golf cart to hit again. He wound up with a triple-bogey 7.

He added another bogey on the 6th and 15th, but ended his round making par on 8 of his last 9 holes. 

The once-dominant Woods played with Neal Shipley, the only amateur to make the cut at the Masters.

The age difference between the two is notable.

Woods' streak of cuts made at the Masters began in 1997, before the 23-year-old Shipley was born.

Even with Woods being out of contention he is still attracting the usual huge throng of fans eager just to get a glimpse of the player that became the face of the sport. Fans applaud after every Woods' shot - good or bad - and continue to shout encouragement his way.

Woods hasn't really been competitive here since 2020 when he finished tied for 38th one year after his stunning fifth victory at age 43.

He finished 13 over two years ago, then was forced to withdraw in 2023 in the third round due to injuries that weren't helped by the cold, rainy weather that had taken a toll on his body.

For a short time this week Woods showed glimpses of the past.

He played the first two rounds in 1 over to make the cut for a record 24th time. But the final two rounds were a struggle for Woods, who posted his worst round of his career at a major with an 82 on Saturday.

He played the final 36 holes in 15 over, shooting 77 on Sunday in his 100th career round at the Masters.
