It’s Friday at the Truist Championship, so that means there will be cuts at the end of the round. Right?
That’s typically the case at PGA Tour events, where the 36-hole cut is standard operating procedure heading into the weekend. But all 72 players who entered play Thursday at The Philadelphia Cricket Club will play all four rounds through Sunday. So Jordan Spieth doesn’t have to worry about missing the cut, even after shooting an even par in his first round.
The Truist Championship is one of the PGA Tour’s Signature Events, meaning its field is less than half the size of last week’s Byron Nelson (156) and next week’s PGA Championship (154). It’s one of eight tournaments on the PGA Tour 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.
Here’s what to know about the cut line on the PGA Tour, as well as how to watch the Truist Championship on TV and streaming:
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 2025 Masters, the cut line was 2 over par, which 52 players reached after two rounds. Thirteen players finished right at the cut line, which qualified them for Saturday’s and Sunday’s rounds. The 41 players with scores at 3 over or more missed the cut and saw their tournament end Friday.
What is the cut line at Truist Championship?
There is no cut at the Truist Championship, so all 72 players 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. Here’s the full list:
