Tiger Woods experiences "continuous" agony during the tumultuous opening round of the Masters.

After his first round at The Masters on Thursday, Tiger Woods said that he was in "constant" agony.

The 47-year-old, making his 25th appearance at Augusta National, shot a two-over 74 while displaying different instances of writhing.

The five-time Masters champion fell nine strokes short of his Norwegian playing partner Viktor Hovland, who entered the clubhouse tied for first place following an exhilarating seven-under opening round.

Woods admitted on Tuesday that he wasn't sure if this week will mark his final participation in the competition. Since suffering severe leg injuries in a horrific vehicle accident in 2021, the fifteen-time major champion's competitive outings have been irregular.

Woods made the cut during a stunning comeback at the 2022 Masters, shocking many, but his physical difficulties navigating the mountainous Augusta terrain were clear, made worse by surgery that had implanted a rod and pins in his right leg.

One year later, following a difficult escape shot from a bunker at the 18th hole, he finished his opening round by hopping on his left leg. After his round, Woods was questioned about the state of his leg, and he was open.

A fourth intruder at the eleventh dropped him back to three over, yet Woods seemed to assemble a last thrive with consecutive birdies at the fifteenth and sixteenth openings. However having barely missed a birdie putt to lift him to try and standard at the penultimate opening, Woods' end intruder intensified a baffling evening.

Woods has missed the cut only once in his past 24 appearances at Augusta and would tie Fred Couples and Gary Player for most continuous cuts at the major would it be a good idea for him he come to the end of the week.

Anyway with a large group of players making solid beginnings, Woods will probably require a resurgent second round to accomplish the accomplishment.

"The vast majority of the folks are going low today. This was the day to make it happen. Ideally tomorrow I'll be somewhat better, somewhat more honed, and sort of inch my direction through it.

"This will be a fascinating completion to the competition with the weather conditions coming in. On the off chance that I can only sort of hold tight, perhaps sort of inch my direction back, ideally it will be positive towards the end
