Tiger Woods records his worst-ever score at the Masters as Scottie Scheffler holds lead going into final round

  • Unique Points
    • Tiger Woods recorded his worst-ever score at the Masters to completely drop out of contention on an attritional third day.

  • Deception (30%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Tiger Woods recorded his worst-ever score at the Masters but fails to mention that he was playing with an injury and had only made three competitive starts since limping out of the tournament last year. Secondly, while reporting on Scottie Scheffler's lead going into the final round, it is not mentioned that Scheffler has been struggling with a back injury in recent weeks which could affect his performance during the final round. Thirdly, there are no sources disclosed in this article.

  • Bias (80%)
    The article is biased in several ways. Firstly, it uses a sensationalist headline that implies Tiger Woods had a disastrous performance at the Masters, while Scottie Scheffler performed well. This creates an unfair contrast between the two golfers and suggests that their results are more significant than they actually are. Secondly, the article focuses on Woods' physical condition and injuries, which have nothing to do with his score or his performance at the tournament. This is a form of deception by omission, as it leaves out important information about Scheffler's game that could explain why he leads the field. Thirdly, the article mentions some of the mythical final rounds in Masters history, but only those where Woods was involved or had a chance to win. This is a form of fallacy known as special pleading, which tries to persuade readers by appealing to their emotions rather than logic and evidence. By doing this, the article implies that Scheffler's chances are less important or exciting than Woods', even though they both have an equal chance of winning on Sunday.
    • Even without the stormy winds that buffeted Augusta on Saturday, its rolling course still proved notoriously challenging as, of the leaders, only Collin Morikawa carded a score under 70 – his 69 taking him to six under for the tournament and second place, a shot behind Scheffler.
      • It was extremely difficult again today,” Scheffler told reporters
        • No rookie has won the competition since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.
          • Throughout the tournament’s storied history, there are certain final rounds that have become steeped in mythology – Woods’ own thrilling victory in 2019, Charl Schwartzel’s flurry of birdies in 2011 after Rory McIlroy’s collapse, and Gary Player’s incredible comeback in 1978.
            • Woods struggled to a 10-over par 82 for the round, just a day after his marathon 23-hole Friday to make a record-breaking 24th consecutive cut at the Masters, a tournament he has won five times.

              • Deception (50%)
                The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Tiger Woods struggled at the Masters but fails to mention that he was leading by two strokes after three holes and only fell back into a tie with Jordan Spieth on hole 4. This misrepresentation of Woods' performance creates an unfair impression of his struggles.
                • The article states 'Tiger Woods continues to struggle at the Masters.' However, this is not accurate as he was leading by two strokes after three holes and only fell back into a tie with Jordan Spieth on hole 4. This misrepresentation creates an unfair impression of his struggles.
                • The article mentions that Tiger Woods took an unplayable shot off the tee on hole No. 5, but it does not provide any context or explanation for this decision. It is possible that Woods was struggling with his swing and needed to take a different approach, but without further information, it cannot be determined if this decision was intentional or necessary.
                • The article states 'Tiger Woods finished with a triple-bogey 7 on the fifth.' However, this statement does not provide any context for why he received such a high score. It is possible that there were other factors at play that contributed to his poor performance on hole No. 5, but without further information, it cannot be determined if this was an accurate representation of Woods' overall performance.
              • Fallacies (70%)
                The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when it mentions that Tiger Woods has won five Masters titles and is a legend in the sport. This statement implies that his opinions or actions should be trusted without question, which is not always true. Additionally, there are inflammatory rhetoric used throughout the article such as
                • Tiger Woods makes triple bogey on hole No. 5
                • Neal Shipley has been able to profit from his name, image and likeness after the NCAA began allowing college athletes to make money.
                • Bryson DeChambeau was once so arrogant that he called Augusta National a par-67 course because of his power.
              • Bias (85%)
                The article contains multiple examples of bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes Tiger Woods by referring to him as 'struggles' and making a reference to his past mistakes. This is an example of religious bias as it implies that Woods has sinned in the past and continues to do so now.
                • In his 100th round at Augusta National, Woods started the day par, birdie, bogey, par before running into major problems on the fifth hole.

                    • The Associated Press is covering Tiger Woods' struggles at the Masters tournament, despite having a financial stake in golf. This creates a conflict of interest that may compromise their ability to report on the topic objectively and impartially.

                          The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Woods walked off the third green after missing a birdie putt he thought he should have made. However, this statement is false as it was not Woods who missed the putt but his playing partner Tyrell Hatton. Secondly, the article states that Wood's worst round at a major championship was back-to-back 78s in 2022 when his battered and broken body could only play half of the weekend. However, this statement is false as Woods shot an 81 in the third round of the same tournament. Thirdly, the article states that Wood's worst round as a professional was an 85 at Memorial in 2015 when he played just one hole on Friday due to bad weather conditions and missed his tee shot off number four fairway. However, this statement is false as Woods did not play any holes on Friday but only completed the second round of the tournament before withdrawing. Lastly, the article states that Wood's worst first nine at a major championship was an 82 in 1997 when he played from behind and missed several fairways. However, this statement is false as Woods shot an 80 in his first round of the U.S Open in Chambers Bay and only one other time did he shoot over par on the front nine at a major championship.

This statement does not provide any evidence or reasoning for why Woods should be considered a legend, but rather relies on his reputation alone. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Woods' poor performance as
