The standard cut line for a PGA event after two rounds is the score of the 65th lowest scoring professional. Any players that finish with that score or better are considered to have made the cut and continue play in the weekend rounds.

A professional golf tournament consists of 4 rounds. Roughly 50% of the professional field (professional players competing) are eliminated if they fail to equal or better the score shot by the 65th lowest professional. This procedure is usually simply referred to as "the cut".

In golf, a cut is a moment during a golf tournament when the field of players is dramatically reduced. In the modern era of golf competition, the most common point during a golf tournament at which a cut is made is after every player in the field is able to complete two rounds, or 36 holes of golf.

Can often be heartbreaking if a player misses by 1 shot or produce a huge sigh of relief if a player makes it through to the final 2 rounds on the "cut line".
