In the last 10 years of Masters tournaments, there have been over 217,000 strokes at Augusta National. That's a lot. That's a whole lot. So which golfers have been the best in that timespan? Let's take a look.
Exactly zero golfers have made the cut in each of the last 10 masters. None. Nobody. Five golfers have made the cut nine times. Six have made eight cuts. Eight have made seven. But nobody has made all 10. Here are the golfers who have made nine.
Tiger Woods
Adam Scott
Angel Cabrera
Lee Westwood
Phil Mickelson
And the ones who have made eight.
Geoff Ogilvy
Ian Poulter
Jim Furyk
Justin Rose
Miguel Angel Jimenez
Vijay Singh
That's quite a group. Of all 11 golfers, only Tiger Woods, Justin Rose and Geoff Ogivly haven't missed a cut. They simply haven't played in the tournament a few times.
Here are the golfers who have not missed a cut when they've played the tournament (minimum five Masters). So these are players who have made consecutive cuts in tournaments in which they played (i.e. Tiger missed in 2014 because of injury).
Tiger Woods (9)
Geoff Ogilvy (9)
Justin Rose (8)
Bubba Watson (7)
Nick Watney (7)
Bill Haas (6)
Matt Kuchar (6)
Rickie Fowler (5)
But back to our original list. Which of those golfers has been the best to par over that time? This includes their scores in missed cuts (i.e. Mickelson was 5 over par in 2014 when he missed the cut). You're probably not going to be shocked.
Tiger Woods: -40
Phil Mickelson: -32
Angel Cabrera: -7
Lee Westwood: -6
Adam Scott: -2
It's Tiger and Phil's world; we're all just living in it, people. The craziest part about all of it, though? Despite his clear and consistent dominance at Augusta, Woods hasn't won a green jacket in any of these 10 years.
