The top 70 players in the PGA Championship field (including ties) will advance to the third and fourth days of competition over the weekend.
The cut rules do not apply to the PGA of America club professionals in the field as they will be allowed to play the weekend no matter what their scorecard reads after the second round.
The PGA Championship cut rules are a bit more forgiving than those on display at the Masters, where only the top 50 (including ties) advance.
The Open Championship employs the same rules as the PGA Championship (top 70 plus ties).
