What’s the cut line at the Masters at Augusta? Who missed the cut?
Some big names will miss out on playing this weekend. Augusta National’s conditions yesterday put some players in a hole too deep to dig out of on Friday.
The sun is shining in Augusta, Georgia on Friday, but don’t let that Georgia sunshine fool ya. It’s windy and it’s going to get worse on Friday as players grind to make up some ground on Bryson DeChambeau, Max Homa and Scottie Scheffler. Conditions on Friday are sunny and warm, but players and patrons are looking to the sky and the top of the trees to see which way the wind is blowing. We’ll be watching golf’s greatest players do their best to try to make the cut and carry on playing into the weekend.
It won’t be easy for some of the top players in the game to bounce back after getting beaten up by Augusta National on Thursday. We expected to see some veteran Masters champions at the bottom and that’s where Fred Couples (+9) and José María Olazabal (+5) are. Who we didn’t expect to see missing the cut are Dustin Johnson (+13), Brian Harman (+9), Jordan Spieth (+9) and Viktor Hovland (+9). Tiger Woods finished at 1-over par and will be playing this weekend.
Players are trying to be among the top 50 players and ties after Friday to make the cut line.
What’s the cut line at the Masters?
The cut line ended up at +6. Players that are at7-over par (+7) at the moment are not in the top-50 player group and ties that will play this weekend. We will be updating this information all day and letting you know who is below, above and sitting on the cut line. A lot of big names are definitely going home early: Viktor Hovland, Justin Rose, Mike Weir, Rickie Fowler and LIV golfers: Sergio García, Bubba Watson, Dustin Johnson; Charl Schwartzel and Adrian Meronk.
Weather conditions were difficult at Augusta National as the wind got stronger and the cut line kept moving back all the way to+6 today because of the tough conditions. Players had to keep the ball below the tree line and judge the wind perfectly to avoid trouble, which was easier said than done.
