7 Big Names Miss Cut PGA Championship

Top players shine while others falter at PGA Championship, with Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, and Adam Scott among those missing the cut.

The anticipation for the 2024 PGA Championship was at an all-time high as some of the world's top players showcased their best form leading up to the event, setting the stage for an exciting second Major of the year.

As the Valhalla tournament reached its midway point, big names like Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele, and Scottie Scheffler were in contention to hoist the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday. However, not everyone had a satisfying experience, with seven notable names failing to make the cut.

Tiger Woods, a four-time PGA Championship winner, struggled to replicate his past success due to recent injuries. Despite showing promise with an opening round of one-over 72, Woods faltered in the second round, missing the cut after two triple bogeys.

Another disappointment was Clark, the 2023 US Open champion, who missed the cut for the second consecutive Major. Phil Mickelson, the oldest Major winner, also fell short after rounds of 74 and 72, continuing his struggle to find form in 2024.

Adam Scott, a two-time third-place finisher at the PGA Championship, had a rough second round, finishing three over for the tournament. Club pro Block, known for his heroics in the previous tournament, failed to repeat his success, finishing seven over.

Despite a late surge by Tommy Fleetwood, he missed the cut by bogeying the 18th hole. With the second round delayed, players like Jon Rahm, Matt Fitzpatrick, and Ludvig Aberg were on the brink of missing the cut, hoping for a last-minute shift to secure their spot in the weekend action.

Additional notable names missing the cut included David Puig, Chris Gotterup, and Adrian Otaegui. The competition at the 2024 PGA Championship was fierce, with both established stars and rising talents vying for a chance at glory.
