Tiger Woods has missed the cut at the 2024 Open Championship after posting disappointing rounds of 79 and 77, leaving him far from the cut line in his third straight major. His poor performance continues a trend of struggles, including missed cuts at the PGA Championship and U.S. Open, and raises questions about his competitive future. Woods has acknowledged his need for a break, planning to skip the rest of the year's official tournaments, with his next appearances being the Hero World Challenge and the PNC Championship with his son. Despite criticisms from figures like Colin Montgomerie, who suggest retirement, Woods remains defiant and plans to return to major championships in 2025. His recent struggles are attributed to limited preparation and ongoing physical challenges, including recovery from severe injuries sustained in a 2021 car accident.
