Open cut line at Royal Birkdale projected at +1, shaping who plays the weekend

At Royal Birkdale for the Open, the 36-hole cut is projected at +1 (1-over), with a 92.7% chance it stays there; 70 players plus ties advance. If +1 holds, Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka would be on the weekend bubble, while Tom Kim (+3) and Matt Fitzpatrick (+4) would miss. Rory McIlroy and Ludvig Åberg have moved clear, while Viktor Hovland, Tyrrell Hatton and Jordan Spieth still contend to reach the weekend. The Open’s cut rules keep Top 70 and ties, and past years’ lines vary (e.g., +5 at Birkdale in 2017); weather could make the test even tougher this weekend.

Record-low cut at Shinnecock pushes U.S. Open field to weekend

The 126th U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills saw the cut fall to +4—the lowest at the venue in five Opens—sending 71 players to the weekend after Dylan Wu birdied the 18th to finish at 4 over. Advancers include Bob MacIntyre, Bud Cauley, Chris Gotterup and Caleb Surratt, plus Joaquin Niemann who made the cut despite a rare ‘11’ on a hole thanks to a 65 round. Many big names missed the cut, including Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Cantlay, Viktor Hovland, Rickie Fowler and Jon Rahm; Brooks Koepka was 10 over, with defending champ J.J. Spaun and Adam Scott at 8 over. Five amateurs remained: Eric Lee, Marek Fleming, Jackson Koivun, Miles Russell and Ryder Cowan.

Masters 2026: Cut Looms at 4-over After Round 2

After Round 2 at Augusta, the Masters cut is 4-over par (148), trimming the field to the top 50 and ties for the weekend; 56 players remain in contention, with scores likely to shift if afternoon play stays tough. Notables: Jon Rahm sits at 148 on the cut, Bryson DeChambeau remains in danger, and Rasmus Hojgaard secured his spot with a birdie on 18 to reach 4-under. J.J. Spaun finished at 5 over, Robert MacIntyre recovered to 71 but an opening 80 doomed him, and all six amateurs appear headed for the fence. Historically, cut lines at the Masters have fluctuated between about 2-over and 6-over in recent years.

"Big Names Blown Out of 'Borderline Unplayable' Masters by Bruising Winds"

Brutal winds at the Masters golf tournament led to a challenging second round, causing several big names including Dustin Johnson, Sergio Garcia, and Jordan Spieth to miss the cut, while others barely made it through. Only 14 players are under par after 36 holes, with American trio Max Homa, Bryson DeChambeau, and Scottie Scheffler leading. The windy conditions made the course "borderline unplayable," with players struggling to cope, but Tiger Woods managed to make the cut, extending his record-breaking streak to 24 consecutive cuts at the tournament.

"2024 Masters: Understanding the Augusta National Cut Line"

The cut line at the 2024 Masters golf tournament at Augusta National will be determined based on the low 50 players and ties, with the current line standing at +2 and likely to change due to windy and dry conditions. The cut was first instituted in 1957, and last year's cut was at +3. Jack Nicklaus holds the record for the most cuts made at Augusta, while three players share the record for most consecutive cuts made. The lowest cut score was even par in 2020, and the highest was +10 in 1982.

Cameron Young's Putting Mishap Costs Him at PGA Championship.

Cameron Young incurred a 2-stroke penalty for a rules violation during the second round of the PGA Championship, potentially leading to him missing the cut. Young moved his ball one clubhead length to the side but failed to move it back to its original spot, resulting in the penalty. He finished with a total of 9 over after 36 holes, and his chances of playing through the weekend are slim as the projected cut line is expected to be 4 over.

PGA Championship at Oak Hill: Cut line, bunker heroics, weather prep, and McIlroy's recovery.

The cut line for the 105th PGA Championship was +5, with 76 players making the cut. Nine players were under par after two rounds, including Scottie Scheffler, who took the lead. The top 70 players plus ties advanced to the weekend, with 80 golfers missing the cut. Michael Block, the head pro at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club, made the cut and could become the first PGA pro to be in the top 20 of the tournament after two rounds since 2009. The 2013 PGA Championship at Oak Hill had a cut line of +3, but the May weather and difficult East Course have proved formidable to the field.

Tiger Woods teeters on Masters cut line as play resumes.

Tiger Woods' streak of made cuts at the Masters is in danger as he is on the projected cut line at 2-over in the tournament after completing 11 holes in Round 2 before play was suspended due to inclement weather. Woods has made 22 consecutive cuts at Augusta National, dating back to his 1997 Tournament win, which marks the longest active streak and second-longest in history. Woods and nearly half the field will resume play Saturday morning, but the forecast doesn't look bright with a 99% chance of rain in Augusta, Georgia.
