The 39-year-old former world number one was four-over par
with five holes left in his second round of the PGA Championship
at Whistling Straits, Wisconsin when play was suspended due to
bad weather.
With the cut expected to fall at two over, Woods will probably
have to pick up at least two shots to make it into the weekend.
In nine PGA Tour events this season, the 14-times major winner
has made five cuts and finished in the top 25 twice. He is
currently ranked 186th in the FedEx Cup standings and needs to
be among the top 125 to qualify for the playoffs.
Woods has notified the PGA Tour that he planned to play in the
Tour's final event next week as he bids to earn enough points to
get into The Barclays, the first stop on the playoffs schedule.
Still working through the latest swing change of his career
after recovering from back surgery, Woods has endured a dismal
2015 campaign.
He posted his worst round as a professional, an 85 at the
Memorial tournament in June, and he has since missed the cut at
both the U.S. Open and British Open -- the first time in his
career he has done so at consecutive major championships.
