Tiger Woods has won three Open Championships, and Royal Troon has hosted nine. Never, though, has Woods won an Open Championship at Royal Troon.
The 48-year-old golfing legend said before this week’s event that “I’ll play as long as I can play and I feel like I can still win the event,” as he dismissed talk of potential retirement.
He made a strong start in his opening round Thursday in tricky windy conditions on the Scottish west coast, with a birdie on the par-three third, but a double bogey immediately followed as the 15-time major champion began to struggle.
Eventually, he reached the clubhouse on +8 after carding an opening round of 79 to leave him 15 strokes off the overnight lead. Making the cut is looking like a long shot.

Tiger Woods results, highlights from Round 2 at 2024 Open Championship
(All times Eastern)
4:51 a.m. — A difficult chip right through the gap between two bunkers flies long, and Woods can’t rescue it with the first putt. It’s a double bogey on the second, and he drops to 10 over as the rain falls a little harder.
4:35 a.m. — It’s a par to start, a long putt with perfect length just avoiding the left of the hole.
4:25 a.m. — Tiger on the tee… and it’s plumb on the fairway. Great start. Xander Schauffele finds almost exactly the same length; Patrick Cantlay is a little shorter. The wind seems to be much easier out there.
4:21 a.m. — There’s a warm round of applause as Woods makes his way up the steps to the first tee.
4:10 a.m. — Woods has just been pictured out practicing ahead of this morning’s start. He had a big smile on his face as he went through the motions with a wedge. It’s a good sign.

3:51 a.m. — It was a tough watch for Tiger at times on Thursday, although the appalling moment that a British announcer speculated he was taking painkillers took many of the headlines. But the first groups this morning have enjoyed far more favorable conditions, and Tiger may well be relishing the chance to get back out there. He’s due to tee off in a little over half an hour.
3:30 a.m. — Plenty of golfers, Woods and Rory McIlroy chief among them, struggled with the conditions yesterday. The weather’s looking a little brighter today, though.

Will Tiger Woods make the cut?
The cut line is projected at +3 after Thursday’s opening round, so it would take a remarkable performance on Friday for Woods to make it.
