AUGUSTA, Ga. — For everything he accomplished this week at Augusta National Golf Club in his return to competitive golf, Tiger Woods will be disappointed in his result at the 86th Masters.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — The second round of the 2022 Masters won’t go down as one of Tiger Woods’ legendary performances.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Tiger Woods has now started 358 tournaments on the PGA Tour and until this one — his most improbable one, the 2022 Masters — his definition of winning was simple: sit atop the leaderboard at the end of competition.
