2025 Masters leaderboard cut line tracker: List of players who missed the cut line at Augusta National.

The most storied tournament in golf is underway, with the 2025 edition of The Masters having teed off Thursday at Augusta National Golf Club.

The cut was first instituted in 1957, 23 years after the Masters began. The field was cut to the low 40 and ties from 1957-61, but the cut changed the next year with the institution of the 10-shot rule. From 1962-2012, the field was cut to the low 44 and ties, as well as anyone within 10 strokes of the leader.

Each of the 95 golfers who made their way to Georgia this week did so with the hopes of finishing the tournament with a triumphant stroll into Butler Cabin and with a green jacket draped snugly around them.

For nearly half The Masters field, those dreams won’t even make it to the weekend.

Here’s a look at the cut at the 2025 Masters, including who failed to make it, what the cut line is and more:

How many make the Masters cut?

The players in the top 50 places on the leaderboard, including ties, make the cut and continue playing at the Masters into the weekend.

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 outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic that spring.

What is the Masters cut? Rules and what you need to know

The cut at the Masters trims the field down to roughly half of the 95 participants who began competing in the tournament on Thursday.

Cuts after the first 36 holes of competition are common throughout major golf tournaments.

For the Masters, only the top 50 golfers, including ties, reach the weekend. It doesn't matter if the person just outside that group is only a few strokes back from the lead. They won't make the cut to Saturday and Sunday.

The rule was changed for the 2020 Masters, as the cut rule used to be top 50 and ties plus those within 10 strokes of the leader. The 10 strokes of the leader rule has been eliminated since that year.

The cut line for the 2024 Masters was at 6-over par, which is a more than achievable score for most professionals at the top of their game. There were 89 golfers in 2024, and 60 reached the weekend rounds.
