What is the projected cut line for the Valspar Championship 2025? At-risk golfers explored

The 2025 Valspar Championship is a regular PGA Tour event, which has a cutline after 36 holes. The tournament began on Thursday, March 20, and is scheduled to conclude on Sunday, March 23.

As already mentioned, there is a cutline after 36 holes, and only players making the cut after two rounds will tee off over the weekend for the final two rounds. After Thursday's round, as per DKN, the projected cutline for the Valspar Championship is 2 over.

Some big names, such as Kurt Kitayama, Adam Schenk, and Thriston Lawrence, are at risk of missing the cut. However, the players still have the second round, which is scheduled to take place on Friday, March 21, to improve their position on the leaderboard and make the cut.
