What is cut line at 2025 PGA Championship? Tracker, who could miss projected cut
The action has teed off for the 2025 PGA Championship, as more than 150 golfers are at Quail Hollow Club vying to win the second major of the year.
While there are plenty of big names and top contenders to win the PGA title, the first step golfers must make in order to have a successful weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina is to make the cut line. The PGA Championship has a different cut line from most PGA events, as the top 70 golfers − including ties − on the leaderboard after 36 holes will qualify for the third and fourth round. That likely means about half of the field will be cut after two days of play.
Thursday's first round isn't over and there's still another full day of golf to be played, so plenty of golfers can change their fortunes. But it's not too early to see what the field will need to do in order to ensure being able to play on Saturday and Sunday, and who could be in danger of having an early exit at Quail Hollow.
As of 6 p.m. ET Thursday, the projected cut line for the 2025 PGA Championship is +2, according to the predictive model used by Datagolf.com. The site says there's a 21% chance 2-over-par is the cut line after Friday.
Since there's still another day of golf left to be played, Datagolf.com notes there are strong chances the cut line moves around. It notes there is a 28.9% chance it's +1, and a 19.4% chance it's +3. Those scores would be much lower than when the event was held at the same course in 2017, when the cut line was +5.
Last year at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, the cut line was -1, the lowest in PGA Championship history. Here is the recent history of the cut line at the PGA Championship:
2024: -1 (Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky)
2023: +5 (Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, New York)
2022: +4 (Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma)
2021: +5 (The Ocean Course in Kiawah Island, South Carolina)
2020: +1 (TPC Harding Park in San Francisco, California)
2019: +4 (Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York)
2018: E (Bellerive Country Club in Town and Country, Missouri)
2017: +5 (Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina)
Scores as of 6 p.m. ET Thursday
Xander Schauffele: +1
Will Zalatoris: +1
Patrick Reed: +1
Bryson DeChambeau: +1
Sepp Straka: +2
Rickie Fowler: +2
Shane Lowry: +2
Jason Day: +2
Max Homa: +2
Justin Thomas: +2
Cameron Smith: +2
Patrick Cantlay: +3
Rory McIlroy: +3

Scott credited his comeback effort to his familiarity with playing on this course throughout his life. 'This place is a big-boy golf course,' Scott said. 'Around the greens, there are places you can miss, and you cannot miss. Playing out here my whole life, just knowing where to hit it and where not to hit it is a big advantage over the field.'

Wyndham Clark reportedly damages lockers in Oakmont clubhouse at 2025 U.S. Open
Wyndham Clark seemingly finds himself in hot water yet again for the second straight major championship. After apologizing for his behavior late in the 2025 PGA Championship, Clark is taking more heat for alleged damage he caused to lockers inside the famed clubhouse at Oakmont Country Club, site of the 2025 U.S. Open. Advertisement Clark, the 2023 U.S. Open champion who missed the cut by a shot after shooting consecutive 4-over 74s on Thursday and Friday, allegedly took his frustrations out in the locker room after a bogey on the final hole resulted in him missing the weekend. Golfweek attempted to contact Clark about the alleged incident but was unable to reach him as of 10:45 a.m. ET. Last month, Clark damaged a T-Mobile sign during the final round of the PGA Championship, prompting him to apologize on social media the next day. "I promise to better the way I handle my frustrations on the course going forward, and hope you all can forgive me in due time," Clark wrote on social media. Advertisement Since finishing T-5 at the Texas Children's Houston Open, Clark has made eight starts but his best finish is T-27. He has missed only two cuts after this week, but he hasn't finished better than T-50 in nearly two months. Those frustrations reportedly boiled over at Oakmont, and he was far from the only golfer to express frustration throughout the week. Rory McIlroy, the Masters champion and world No. 2, threw a golf club and smashed a tee marker during Friday's second round. Golfweek's Adam Schupak contributed to this story.
