Notable Players Who Missed the Cut at the 2022 Masters

The 2022 Masters is halfway through its completion by the end of the second round yesterday. The completion of the round on Friday meant that the playing field at the event would be filtered as the cutline is determined after 36 holes. Moreover, let’s take a look at the list of notable names missing the weekend at Augusta National Golf Club.

Big names missing the cutline at the 2022 Masters

The second round at the Augusta National Golf Club was tough. Moreover, high winds made it challenging for the professionals to card a firey round on a moving day at the Masters. The round also accompanied a mixed bag of emotions for the professionals, with Tiger Woods making his 22nd consecutive cut on Friday. However, the day was a cruel and disappointing one for some of the notable names in the field as they could not make the cut line.

Not to forget, only the top 50 players and ties move forward to the weekend at the Masters. From 2013 to 2019, it used to be top 50 and ties plus any professional within 10 shots of the lead. However, with a change in the rulings now, only the top 50 professionals and ties can make it through to the third and the fourth round.
