Five players who missed the cut at the WM Phoenix Open 2025
1) Max Homa
Max Homa carded a 5-over 76 in the opening round at TPC Scottsdale, meaning he needed a strong recovery on Day 2. Although he played much better on Friday, his 2-under 69 was not enough to make the cut.
This was Homa's first missed cut of the season, but two of his four starts were no-cut events. Besides, he had withdrawn from the Farmers Insurance Open after a poor first round.
2) Billy Horschel
Billy Horschel carded rounds of 71 and 72 to finish at 1-over, missing the cut by three strokes.
3) Lucas Glover
Following a T3 finish last week, Lucas Glover had a contrasting result this week. After carding a 4-over 75 in the first round of the WM Phoenix Open, he bounced back with a 4-under 67 on Friday. However, a bogey and a double bogey on Day 2 ultimately cost him the cut.
4) Matt Fitzpatrick
After shooting 72 and 69 in the two rounds, Matt Fitzpatrick fell just short of making the cut. He is still seeking his first top-10 finish of the season.
5) Chris Kirk
Chris Kirk's struggles continued at the WM Phoenix Open, where he carded rounds of 72 and 74 to finish at 4-over after 36 holes. He has managed just one top-25 finish this season and has missed two cuts in five starts so far.
