Tiger Woods, in his second tournament since returning to golf following admissions of marital infidelity, is unlikely to make the cut at the Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte.

Update, 5:25 p.m. ET: Tiger pars 17, remains at +9 with one hole (par-4 18th) to play. A par will give him a round of 79 and a 136-hole score of 153. His worst single-round as a pro is 81, coming in the third round of the 2002 British Open. The projected cutline is +1.

Update, 5:06 p.m. ET: Tiger pars 16 to remain at +9; cutline remains projected at +1. He only has a par-3 17th and par-4 18th to play, so it's over, he won't make the cut.

Woods hit just six fairways in 36 holes, his worst performance as a pro, according to the broadcast team on The Golf Channel.

Woods last missed the cut in the 2009 British Open by one shot. In his career he has missed the cut five times, including the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. Five years ago, Woods missed the cut at the Byron Nelson Championship, ending a seven-year, 142-tournament streak of making cuts.

Earlier:

Update, 4:55 p.m. ET: With back-to-back double-bogeys at 14 and 15, Woods stands +9 with three holes to play. He is seven over for the day and needs to par out to break 80. The projected cutline is +1.

He needs to be revived....


Quick! someone get him some low standard pussy! PRONTO!

I still stand by my prediction that he won't break Nicklaus' record of 18 major wins.

And that tournament is NOT a scrub tournament. Most of the top 30 are there.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — So much for Tiger Woods wanting the attention to return to his golf. In a shocking meltdown Friday at the Quail Hollow Championship, Woods matched the worst nine-hole score of his PGA Tour career and wound up with a 7-over 79 to miss a cut for only the sixth time in his 14-year career.

He had three-putt bogeys on consecutive holes. He hit a flop shot that ran over the green and into the water. And he bottomed out on the 15th green with a four-putt double bogey from just over 30 feet.

"It is what it is," Woods said when asked if rust or mechancis were the culprit. "Whatever it was, it wasn't good enough."

Not even close.

Making the performance even more surprising is that Woods was coming off a tie for fourth at the Masters three weeks ago, a remarkable performance considering it was his first competition since a five-month break after being caught cheating on his wife.

This was his first time playing at a regular PGA Tour event with public ticket sales, and with only a few exceptions, the crowd was as gracious as ever. It was clear over the last two days the fans were more interested in Woods as a golfer than anything to do with his personal life. He just didn't give them much to cheer. And he won't be around for the weekend.

Billy Mayfair was the leader through 36 holes. At 8-under 136 after a 68, he had a one-shot lead over two-time major champion Angel Cabrera, who played in Woods' group.

For Woods, it was the first time he had missed a cut since the British Open last summer at Turnberry, and the first time at a regular PGA Tour event since the Disney Classic at the end of the 2005 season.
