The PGA TOUR tees off the second round of the 2023 PGA Championship on Friday, and the leader entering the round in Bryson DeChambeau will be one of last players to take to the course today.
The first trios teed off on Friday at 7:00 a.m., but the last players won't take to the course until 2:42 p.m. They should be able to get their entire round in, so hopefully we won't have to wait until Saturday to see who will play the weekend.
How is the cut line determined?
The low 70 players and ties will play the weekend, unlike a standard PGA TOUR event where the cut is the low 65 and ties.
What is the projected cut line for the PGA Championship as of now?
Right now the projected cut line is +4, with 85 players surviving to the weekend, and 15 on that number exactly. But this will fluctuate all day long, and might move higher as course conditions get more difficult later in the day.
Who is not projected to make the cut?
Congrats to PGA teaching pro Gabe Reynolds on playing in a major, but he's at +20 thru 12 holes today. He's the caboose on this 156-man train and seems likely to stay in that spot.
Seamus Power and Webb Simpson are both +8 on their front nine Friday, and will need to find some birdies coming in to play the weekend. Talor Gooch and Danny Willett at +7 are in the same boat.
