This week, the PGA Tour players teed it at the signature event, the Genesis Invitational. The tournament started with its first round on Thursday, February 13, at the Torrey Pines Golf Course.

This week's signature PGA Tour even has a cutline after 36 holes, and only the players finishing above the cutline of 4-over par earned their spots for the final two rounds. Some big names, including Viktor Hovland, struggled with their game and failed to make the cut.

On that note, let us take a look at five well-known golfers who failed to make the cut at Genesis Invitational 2025.
