He doesn’t miss the cut often, so when he does, it’s news.

For the first time in three years and the second in a major championship as a pro, Tiger Woods will not compete on the weekend.

The world’s No. 1 player missed the cut Friday at the British Open, shooting a 4-over 74 at Turnberry that had him headed back home to Florida on the same day that 59-year-old Tom Watson tied for the 36-hole lead.

Woods holds the tour record of 142 consecutive cuts made, which he set from 1998 to 2005.
