Masters cut line 2024: Live projections, updates for who misses cut at Augusta National

Craig Meyer, USA TODAY NETWORK

This week, about 90 golfers descended upon Augusta National Golf Club with dreams of winning their sport’s most sought-after prize.

By the end of the day Friday, however, only about half that field will remain .

Qualifying for the Masters at all is a remarkable achievement, a testament to the skill and relentless work of a golfer to reach one of the highest pinnacles that the game has to offer. To remain there for the weekend of the tournament, though, is a different kind of challenge.

To make the cut after the first 36 holes of the Masters, a player must be in the top 50 places on the leaderboard, including ties. Previously, anyone within 10 strokes of the lead also made the cut, but that rule was scrapped for the 2020 Masters, which was pushed back to November due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

While eyes of golf fans across the world will undoubtedly be glued to the top of the leaderboard, there will be significant intrigue over who does and doesn’t make it to the weekend, with the latter group potentially, and perhaps even likely, including some of the biggest names in the game.
