The second round of the 2025 PGA Championship is officially in the books and the field of 156 golfers has been cut nearly in half. 

Venezuelan golfer Jhonattan Vegas currently sits atop the leaderboard at 8-under on the tournament, but a wide range of golfers are in contention to win the Wanamaker Trophy, including Scottie Scheffler (-5) and Max Homa (-5). 

However, many of the sport's stars struggled and flirted with the cut line at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. 

Former champions Rory McIlroy (2012, 2014) and Xander Schauffele (2024) found themselves on the wrong side of the cut line, which was set firmly at 1-over for a majority of Friday. But both McIlroy (+1) and Schauffele (+1) corrected course and will play into the weekend after tying the cut line. Everyone wasn’t so lucky. 

Here’s who missed the cut at the 2025 PGA Championship
