Grading Tiger Woods' Round 1 Performance at the 2019 Masters

Tiger Woods teed off at 11:04 a.m. ET on Thursday from August National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia to begin his pursuit of a fifth Masters win.

Woods enters the Masters at No. 12 in the world rankings, and he has two top 10 finishes in the five events he's played so far this year. He finished the 2018 Masters at one-over par, which left him tied for 32nd.

His quest for a fifth green jacket started on a high note on Thursday, as he shot a two-under 70 with four birdies and two bogeys on the day.
