Masters 2024: Top Golfers Who Gravely Missed the Cut at Augusta National-F.T Justin Thomas, Spieth & More

The Masters Tournament is indubitably a dream of all golfers. However, come face to face with the daunting challenge, only a few find success in delivering. Sadly, for the rest, they can only sit back and watch the others move forward. Yes, we are alluding exactly to the professionals who missed the cut to proceed to Moving Day at the ongoing major championship.

While the likes of Bryson DeChambeau, Scottie Scheffler, and Max Homa shared the top spot on the leaderboard, there were many who fell below the required cutline. Meanwhile, it truly makes one wonder about the top golfers among the 89 professionals who couldn’t place themselves in the top 50 and ties!

Top golfers who missed the cut at the 2024 Masters!

1. Wyndham Clark: “We’ve got a lot of golf left… someone shot 7 under… I could do that tomorrow,” said a confident Clark after his first round at the Masters. Regardless, despite exuding confidence all the while taking a jab at Bryson DeChambeau, the current No. 4 on the OWGR couldn’t deliver on his words as he could only register a 78 (+6) along with his first-round score of 1-over par 73, inevitably missing the cut. It seems he couldn’t replicate the performance he displayed at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

2. Viktor Hovland: Although the Norwegian hadn’t missed a single cut in the 2024 PGA Tour calendar, he couldn’t do the same at Augusta, resulting in him putting up an overall 8-over par after the two rounds. Sadly, a total of six birdies, five of which came on Thursday’s 71 (-1), wasn’t enough to keep him above the cutline. What’s more, three bogeys and three double bogeys on Friday, leading to a 9-over 81, only added to his troubles.

3. Jordan Spieth: Many in the community were concerned about the golfer when a picture of his hands made the rounds on the internet, with some even going so far as to assume he was injured ahead of The Masters. Regardless, the only worry Spieth was concerned with was trying to make the cut, which he couldn’t find success in. Consequently, he dished out figures of 79-74 in the par-72 Augusta National, leading him to put up a total of 9-over par after the two days of play.

4. Justin Thomas: He was just one short of making the cut for the Masters. Yes, the 30-year-old failed to place himself tied at T50 owing to his overall score of 7-over par. Unfortunately, he scored a total of six birdies, three of which came on the second day, along with three double bogeys, which sealed the deal for the American Pro despite an even-par finish on Thursday.

5. Brian Harman: The current No. 8 in the world couldn’t replicate the performance he dished out at the 2023 Open Championship or even the 2024 PLAYERS Championship, where he finished at T2 at the Masters. Regrettably, he could only register a score of 9 over par after two days owing to his number of 81-72, which came as a result of four double bogeys and six bogeys during the same.

These are some of the top golfers who failed to make the cut at the 88th Masters Tournament that took place at the iconic Augusta National. Regardless, the hype still hasn’t left the community and many will surely be eagerly awaiting the next major champ.
