After seven years, a weekend without Tiger
IRVING, Texas — Tiger Woods studied the line from both directions, consulted his caddie, then settled in over a 15-foot par putt that was packed with the quiet tension normally found in a playoff at a major championship.
It was only a Friday afternoon at the Byron Nelson Championship, a rare time for Woods to feel so much heat. The putt wasn’t for a trophy, but to keep alive the longest cut streak in PGA Tour history.
“Every guy in the locker room was watching,” Jesper Parnevik said. “We’re not allowed to bet, but guys were offering $1,000 he would make it.”
That’s because Woods always seems to do just that.
Not this time.
His putt broke gently toward the right side of the cup, then straightened out and trickled a few inches by, a dramatic end to one of the greatest streaks in sports.
“I just had a tough day,” Woods said. “Things I don’t normally do, I did today.”
Topping the list was cleaning out his locker on a Friday.
A bogey on the 18th hole at Cottonwood Valley gave Woods a 2-over 72 and put him at 1 over par for the tournament, missing the cut for the first time in seven years and 142 tournaments. The cut was at even par.
“It was always going to come to an end eventually, wasn’t it?” Robert Allenby said.
“Obviously, it was a hell of a feat. That record will never be broken.”
The streak dated to the 1998 Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, when Woods withdrew after two rounds instead of returning nearly seven months later to complete the rain-delayed tournament.
The cut is made after 54 holes at Pebble Beach because it is played on three courses.
The only other time he missed the cut in his 10 years on tour was the 1997 Canadian Open at Royal Montreal, where he also made a bogey on the final hole.
There have been 15 close calls over the year, most recently at The Players Championship when he bogeyed the final hole to make the cut on the number. But he always managed to come through.
