PGA Championship cut line and title playoff

Use the second-round score to read the cut

The relevant line comes after all first- and second-round scores are accounted for. Suppose 69 players finish below +4 and three players finish at +4. Those three share the next position, so 72 players advance under the low-70-and-ties rule. A projected line earlier in the day can change as other players finish.

Aronimink had a single cut. Once the field was set for the weekend, use the third- and fourth-round leaderboard to follow the title. The cut calculation answers who continues, while the end-of-event total tells you who leads.

Add three fresh hole scores for a title tie

For the 2026 playoff, tied leaders played holes 10, 17 and 18. Imagine one player took 4, 3 and 5 strokes and another took 3, 4 and 6. Their playoff totals would be 12 and 13. The player with 12 would win despite taking one more stroke on the first playoff hole. If the totals were level, the remaining tied players would continue on the 18th in sudden death.

The holes above belong to Aronimink. For another edition, read that championship’s playoff notice for the venue-specific hole order. Record the 72-hole score and playoff total separately when saving the result. Two players can finish regulation tied and still have a single winner marked by playoff.

Find the separate club-professional event

The PGA Professional Championship has its own leaderboard and title. In 2026, its top 20 had a route to the PGA Championship field, with a playoff if needed for the final qualifying spots. When a report says a player earned a PGA Championship place through that event, use the Professional Championship results for qualification and the PGA Championship results for the major itself.
