Here are 8 big names to miss the cut at the 2024 Shriners Children’s Open

These players are headed home early.

After a lengthy wind delay caused a late start on Friday for the second round, the cut has been made Saturday afternoon at the 2024 Shriners Children’s Open at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas.

Tom Kim, the 2022 and 2023 winner of this event, was 1-under total when he finished his second round and he’ll head home early thanks to the 36-hole cut coming in at 3-under 139. Kim, who hasn’t played a Tour event since the FedEx St. Jude Championship during the playoffs, is not in the field for next week’s Zozo Championship in Japan.

While the third round will begin Saturday afternoon in Sin City, here’s a quick look at eight notable names who missed the cut at the Shriners Children’s Open.

Tiger Woods will miss 2024 PGA Championship cut thanks to horrendous three-hole stretch on Friday

Woods is eight shots off the cut line and 19 behind the leader.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Tiger Woods is heading home early.

The 15-time major champion will miss the weekend cut at the 2024 PGA Championship after a lackluster 6-over 77 on Friday in the second round at Valhalla Golf Club that was doomed from the start. Woods walked off the course at 7 over for the tournament, eight shots off the cut.

“The week, it was a great week being here, being here at Valhalla, and unfortunately my scores did not indicate how the people treated me and how great a week I had,” Woods said after his round. “Unfortunately, I hit too many shots.”

This week’s major championship is being held in Kentucky but Woods took a brief visit to Los Angeles on his scorecard with his 7-4-7 stretch of triple-bogey-triple that derailed his round from the jump on Nos. 2-4.

“Well, I got off to bad start and the rough grabbed me at 2. No sand in the bunker as well. Just made a mistake there. I compounded the problem there at 4,” Woods explained after his round. “Just kept making mistakes and things you can’t do, not just in tournaments but in majors especially. And I just kept making them. I hung around for most of the day but unfortunately the damage was done early.”

He did well to fight back and earn some honor with a pair of birdies on Nos. 7 and 8, but gave those right back with consecutive squares thanks to bogeys on Nos. 11 and 12. Woods hopped on board the par train on Nos. 13-17 and made a consolation birdie at the last to seal the deal for his trunk-slam finish at 7 over par, eight shots off the cut and a whopping 19 off the lead.

The score is frustrating, but what will really irk Woods will be the fact that it wasn’t his body that gave up on him today. It was his game. He wasn’t limping. He wasn’t grimacing and constantly stretching throughout the round. He just wasn’t dialed with his approaches or short game. Simple as that.

Despite the poor showing, the 48-year-old Woods is still confident his game will continue to improve. In due course, that is.

“I just got to — I need to play more. Unfortunately, I just haven’t played a whole lot of tournaments, and not a whole lot of tournaments on my schedule either,” he said. “Hopefully everything will somehow come together in my practice sessions at home and be ready for Pinehurst.”

The next time we should expect to see Woods will be at the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, June 13-16. The warm summer temperature in the Sandhills of North Carolina should be like an incubator for Woods’ surgically repaired body that’s held together by pins and screws, and the course should give Tiger an advantage due to his ability to get creative with various shots. That said, his lack of tournament reps and performances so far this year shouldn’t give fans too high of expectations.

Justin Thomas leads list of 7 big names to miss the cut at 2024 Genesis Invitational

Gone after 36.

The PGA Tour’s third signature event of the season has reached its midway point, meaning the 36-hole cut has been made at the Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades, California, at Riviera Country Club.

The top 50 and ties, plus anyone within 10 shots of the lead, earned Saturday tee times.

Tiger Woods withdrew from the event Friday afternoon due to illness (and as you’d expect, social media went into a frenzy).

Patrick Cantlay, who last won at the 2022 BMW Championship, leads the way at 13 under, five shots clear of a group at 8 under that includes Jason Day, Luke List and Mackenzie Hughes.

Here are 7 players who are leaving the Los Angeles area a few days early.

Rickie Fowler, Tom Kim and other big names miss cut at 2024 American Express

These guys are headed home early.

There’s something special brewing in La Quinta, California.

Thanks to a third-round 12-under 60 at La Quinta Country Club, amateur Nick Dunlap (27 under) holds the outright lead at the American Express. Dunlap made 10 birdies and an eagle on the par-5 6th (his 15th hole of the day). If he goes on to win Sunday, he’d be the first amateur to win on Tour since Phil Mickelson in 1991.

Sam Burns is alone in second at 24 under, and Justin Thomas is 23 under, solo third and four back.

While the college kid is tearing it up, there are several big names heading home a day early after missing the 54-hole cut.

U.S. Women’s Open champ leads list of notables to miss the cut at LPGA’s Kroger Queen City Championship

Those headed home early are getting a two-day headstart on a three-week break on the LPGA.

The first two rounds of the LPGA’s Kroger Queen City Championship at Kenwood Country Club in Cincinnati, Ohio, are in the books.

Peiyun Chien, a 32-year-old from Chinese Taipei, shot a 64 a day after posting a 66 and leads at 14 under, four shots ahead of the field. Chien has eight top-10s in six years as a pro but may finally break through in a big way this week.

However, several big names in the field this week are headed home early and they’re getting a two-day headstart on a three-week break on the LPGA. The Solheim Cup is in two weeks but the next LPGA event isn’t until the end of the month at the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship.

The 36-hole cut came in at 1 under. Here are five big names who missed the weekend at the Kroger Queen City Championship.

While names such as Rory McIlroy, Tyrrell Hatton, Tom Kim, Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa and Rickie Fowler are residing at or near the top of the leaderboard at the Genesis Scottish Open, there are several big names leaving The Renaissance Club early this week.

Adam Scott, for example, opened with a 2-over 72 on Thursday and dug himself too big of a hole. A second-round 3-under 67 wasn’t enough, and the Aussie is headed to Royal Liverpool a few days early.

Seventy-seven players made the weekend, with the cut coming in at 2-under 138.

Memorial 2023: Justin Thomas, defending champion Billy Horschel among notable pros who have the weekend off after missing the cut at Jack’s Place

Justin Thomas and defending champion Billy Horschel are headed home early.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Hideki Matsuyama knows that golf can be cruel.

The Japanese golfer, winner of the Memorial in 2014 and the Masters in 2021, has dealt with a neck injury of late that has stolen some of his distance and forced him to sit out for a month. Asked how’s he feeling, he said, “I feel great. You never know, though, tomorrow morning.”

One day, you have the world by a string, you’re winning the Memorial and your dream of your family celebrating with you on the 18th green comes to fruition. That was Billy Horschel at the 2022 Memorial. One year later, he shot 84 and was holding back tears as he tried to process what had happened during a live interview. Horschel was sent packing on Friday but maybe with an ounce of confidence restored after making six birdies and shooting even-par 72.

That 12-stroke one-day improvement should provide some solace to Horschel as he searches for answers to how his game has soured since one of the crowning achievements of his career.

Justin Thomas’s dip from PGA Championship winner last May to missed cut at the Memorial isn’t as drastic as Horschel but he’s none too happy to be leaving Jack’s Place early and his game appears to have a few more holes in it than he would like with the U.S. Open less than two weeks away.

Among those players who were feeling great like Matsuyama on Friday? World No. 5 Xander Schauffele’s score improved by 11 shots – from an opening-round 77, his highest score since the second round of the 2022 Masters, to a second-round 66. Matt Kuchar went from 79 to 67. And how about nine-time Tour winner Brandt Snedeker, who shot 73-72—145 to make the cut in his first start since September after undergoing experimental surgery on his sternum. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler snuck in on the number — it took 3-over 147 or better to be among the 66 players moving on to the weekend — despite missing a short par putt at 18 that left him dismayed. Golf, it giveth and it taketh away.

As Horschel noted on Thursday, “As low as it feels, it feels like I’m not that far off at the same time. Which is insane to say when you see me shoot 84 today. It doesn’t, it wouldn’t make sense to a lot of people. But I don’t think I’m that far off.”

Confidence is knowing your best golf is still to come. Here are the notables who missed the cut and are hoping better golf for them is just around the corner.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Cut day brings both joy and misery to the field of 156 that began on Thursday with a chance of hoisting the Wanamaker Trophy.

Some such as Tyrrell Hatton, who bounced back from an opening-round 77 with a 68, and world No. 4 Patrick Cantlay (74-67) have renewed faith that they can continue to vault up the leaderboard and join the trophy hunt. Harold Varner III was on the cutline after a double bogey at No. 11 and responded brilliantly. He closed with five consecutive threes on the card, four of them birdies, and is back in the mix at 1 over. Defending champion Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth, who is seeking to complete the career Grand Slam with a win, both needed to sink 8-foot putts to make the cut and they drained them. In all 76 golfers made it to the weekend at 5-over 145 or better.

But for the men on this list, the chase is over and they’re none too happy about it. A couple of them blew up, shooting 80, while another made bogey at the last to have the weekend off. Here’s the bad news for some of the best in the world who didn’t have their good stuff this week.

Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa lead list of notable names to miss the cut at the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship

A few big names will be leaving Quail Hollow early.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — This year’s Wells Fargo Championship is the ninth designated event of the PGA Tour season, meaning the 156-player field was competing for a $20 million purse, with a whopping $3.6 million going to the winner.

After two rounds of play at Quail Hollow Club, 68 players made the weekend cut and another 88 are now heading home early and empty handed.

Three players who competed for the American team at the 2022 Presidents Cup last fall at Quail Hollow were sent packing, as well as a major champion, a rising PGA Tour star and a former world No. 1 who seemed to be rounding into form.

Here’s a closer look at some of the notable names who didn’t survive the 36-hole cut at the 2023 Wells Fargo Championship, which came in at 1 under par.
