PGA Tour golf might be back at Doral, but the cut line will not be part of the festivities.
Nearly all tournaments include a 36-hole cut going into the weekend. But not at the 2026 Cadillac Championship: Everyone playing on the Blue Monster Course today will finish all four rounds. That’s good news for Adam Scott, who won the last Tour event played here in 2016 but shot a 4-over 76 in the first round.
The newest addition to the PGA Tour schedule, the Cadillac Championship is one of golf’s Signature Events, meaning the player field is lower than usual, almost half that of last week’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans (128). It’s one of eight tournaments on the PGA Tour this year that doesn’t have a cut. Another one, The American Express in January, has a 54-hole cut. Other than that, though, every PGA Tour event has its participants deal with a cut line during the second round.

What is the cut line?
The field at a PGA Tour tournament is usually more than 150 players deep. To keep the focus on the event’s top contenders, most tournaments trim the field by about half after the second round, or 36 holes.
Exact cut lines depend on the tournament, but typically, the top 60-70 players plus ties after 36 holes qualify for the final two rounds. The score to par of the final player or players who meet that criteria is the cut line, and those who fall below it at the end of the second round will miss the cut for the weekend. The cut line is updated constantly over the course of the second round as players rise and fall on the leaderboard.
For instance, at the Masters, the top 50 players plus ties make the cut. For the 2026 Masters, the cut line was 4 over par, which 54 players reached after two rounds. The 37 players with scores at 5 or more over missed the cut and saw their tournament end Friday.
What is the cut line at Doral?
There is no cut at the Cadillac Championship, so all 72 pros in the field will play through the weekend.
What PGA Tour events have no cuts?
There are no cuts at five of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events and at all three tournaments in the FedEx Cup Playoffs in August. The Sentry typically runs without a cut, as well, but the season-opening tournament was canceled this year. Here’s the full list:
