US Open Cut Line Tracker 2025
In professional golf tournaments like the U.S. Open, the cut line is the score that separates the players who will continue into the weekend (Rounds 3 and 4) from those who are eliminated after the first two rounds.
At the U.S. Open, the cut is made after Round 2. Only the top 60 players and ties make the cut and move on to Saturday and Sunday.
The purpose of the cut?
✅ To tighten the field.
✅ To ensure competitive pace and better TV coverage.
✅ To reward those who perform well under pressure early on.
We’re actively tracking the US Open cut line as Round 2 unfolds. Early signs suggest conditions are playing tougher, which could push the cut line higher as more players struggle to stay near par.
