AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The second day of action at the 2024 Masters is ongoing, and three days of pristine golf at the nation's best course remain with the best hoping to play all 72 holes at Augusta National. With clear skies, all competitors should be through 36 holes by day's end with the cut being made entering the weekend, though difficult-to-manage breezes have created tougher elements for some of the best golfers in the world Friday.
The grounds are filled to capacity with patrons, and they are undoubtedly keen to see how Tiger Woods plays while taking the course for just his second professional event of 2024. Woods is just five years removed from winning his fifth green jacket, and while a sixth is certainly unlikely, counting Tiger out of anything is a foolish endeavor. Woods has played solid golf as he nears the completion of his second round, and barring a collapse, should continue his made cuts streak at Augusta National.
Far more likely to find the winner's circle is Scottie Scheffler, the 2022 green jacket winner seeking to win his second in three years. Scheffler entered as an overwhelming favorite and sat +140 to win the tournament entering Friday one back of Day 1-leader Bryson DeChambeau. Rory McIlroy, of course, is still one Masters title away from clinching the career grand slam, and he ended Thursday under par through 18 holes at Augusta National for the first time in six years.
Max Homa is seeking his first major championship, and a run Friday morning has boosted him near the top of the leaderboard with a chance to contend entering the weekend. You can follow Masters leaderboard updates and coverage all day right here on CBSSports.com.
