The 2024 Wyndham Championship is the final event on the PGA Tour before the FedExCup playoffs begin. The Sedgefield Country Club in North Carolina hosts this event. The tournament has faced challenges, such as thunderstorms and bad weather, and play began on Friday instead of Thursday.
The second round of the 2024 Wyndham Championship concluded early on Sunday, with a few top golfers missing the cut. The cutline came in at -4, as only the top 67 golfers made it to the final two rounds. So here are the top five golfers who missed the cut at the 2024 Wyndham Championship.
Five top golfers who missed the cut at the 2024 Wyndham Championship
1. Shane Lowry
Shane Lowry missed the cut at the 2024 Wyndham Championship. He carded -2 for the event and was two strokes behind the cutline. Lowry is already in the top-10 FedExCup rankings and will more or less compete in the final Tour Championship event.
2. Jordan Spieth
Jordan Spieth missed the cut as he carded -2 and remained two strokes behind the cutline. Spieth was one of the golfers hoping to accumulate as many FedExCup points as possible this week, as he currently ranks 63rd. Even though he might make it to the playoffs, getting into The BMW Championship will be a challenge as only the top 50 ranked golfers will be in the field.
3. Justin Rose
The 2024 Open Championship runner-up missed the 2024 Wyndham Championship cut by a whisker. Justin Rose had to make a chip-in birdie on the final hole to make the cut. But, unfortunately, the ball lipped out of the hole, killing his hopes of playing the final two rounds. Rose is currently 52nd in the FedExCup rankings and has a high chance of making it to the playoffs.
4. Akshay Bhatia
Akshay Bhatia carded -2 for the event and missed the cut at the 2024 Wyndham Championship. This performance won't affect the 22-year-old's chances of competing in the playoffs. He is 15th in the FedExCup rankings and will likely be in the field for the season finale Tour Championship.
5. Will Zalatoris
Will Zalatoris' struggles continued this week as he failed to make the cut at the Wyndham Championship. He carded even par for the event and missed the cut by four shots. He is ranked 45th ahead of the FedExCup playoffs and was probably hoping to accumulate as many points as possible.
