  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title claims that Tiger Woods has posted a career-worst score of 10 over par at the Masters tournament. However, this statement is misleading because it does not provide context for what constitutes a 'career-worst' score. In reality, Woods has had worse scores in other tournaments and even on other courses than he did during his third round at Augusta National Golf Club.

  • Fallacies (85%)
    The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Woods is a five-time Masters champion and has won multiple major championships throughout his career.

    Mark Schlabach is a senior writer for ESPN and has written seven books on college football. He graduated from the University of Georgia. In this article, he reports that Tiger Woods posted a career-worst score of 10 over par in the third round at Augusta National Golf Club during The Masters tournament. This was his highest round in any major championship during his career and marked him as being tied for 52nd place when the third round ended. Schlabach quotes Tiger Woods stating that he struggled with hitting the ball, putting well, and missed a lot of putts which led to this poor performance.

        • Deception (30%)
          The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Tiger Woods had a 'good chance' to make a run at the Masters despite being seven shots back of the lead. This statement is misleading as it implies that Woods was still in contention when he actually wasn't. Secondly, the article states that Woods shot an 82 on Saturday which was his worst score ever at Augusta National. However, this information is incorrect as Woods had previously scored a 78 at Augusta National before shooting an 82 on Saturday.

                      The article is deceptive in that it presents Scottie Scheffler as a humble and down-to-earth golfer who is struggling with the pressure of leading the Masters. However, this portrayal contradicts previous reporting on Scheffler's meteoric rise to fame and success, which suggests he has always been confident in his abilities. Additionally, the article fails to disclose any sources or quotes from other golfers or experts who may have different perspectives on Scheffler's performance.
                      • The article portrays Scottie Scheffler as struggling with pressure despite previously ascending to No. 1 in the world and winning his first major championship. This is a deceptive representation of his abilities and success.

                      The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by stating that Scottie Scheffler is the current champion of the Masters.

                      • Deception (50%)
                        The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Tiger Woods easily made the cut at Augusta through the first two rounds of play with a score of 1-over 73 on Thursday and an even 72 on Friday to head into weekend play with an aggregate score of 1 over par.
                        • The article claims that Tiger Woods 'easily made the cut' at Augusta through the first two rounds, but he was actually tied for last place after round one and only made it by a stroke in round two. This is clearly misleading as it implies that Woods had an easy time qualifying.
                        • The article claims that Tiger Woods finished the third round with a 42 on the front nine or six over par. However, this is not entirely accurate as it does not take into account his performance on the back nine which was also important in determining his overall score.
                        • The article states that Tiger Woods finished with a score of 1-over 73 on Thursday and an even 72 on Friday to head into weekend play with an aggregate score of 1 over par, but this is not entirely accurate. On the first nine holes alone, he was six strokes behind co-leaders Max Homa, Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler.

Additionally, there are several instances of inflammatory rhetoric used throughout the article such as 'Tiger Woods easily made the cut at Augusta through the first two rounds of play', and 'If he's going to tie Jack Nicklaus record-sixth victory at Augusta National, it will have to start with a notable move up the leaderboard on Saturday.' These statements are not objective and could be seen as biased.
