The 2025 U.S. Open is well underway at Oakmont Country Club, one of the most challenging venues in major championship golf. As stars like Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, and defending champion Bryson DeChambeau prepare to take on the brutal layout, the battle to simply make the weekend promises to be intense. Here’s what to know about the projected cut line at the 2025 U.S. Open and which players will be fighting to stay in contention:
What is the 2025 U.S. Open projected cut line?
Only the top 60 players and ties will advance to the third and fourth rounds on Saturday and Sunday. The cut line has a history of creeping higher here—and with difficult conditions expected, big names could find themselves in danger.
The cut line has not yet been determined. It will be finalized after the completion of the second round, which is at the end of Friday’s play. Based on the top 60 golfers and ties early Friday morning, the cut line would stand at about +4.
Take a look at some interesting names hovering around that number or playing worse (as of Friday morning):
