Which golfers missed the cut at the Open Championship 2025? List explored

The second round of the Open Championship 2025 concluded with Scottie Scheffler jumping to the solo lead. He fired a low 7-under 64 on Day 2 at Portrush to take a 36-hole, one-stroke lead over Matt Fitzpatrick.

While the top half of the Open Championship 2025 leaderboard featured names like Scheffler, Fitzpatrick, Rory McIlroy, and others contending for the title, many notables fell into the wrong half and had to pack their bags early.

Following the second round of the Open Championship 2025, the cutline was set at 1-over, and many big names like Jason Day, Collin Morikawa, Brooks Koepka, and Phil Mickelson failed to make the cut. LIV Golf's season leader, Joaquin Niemann, also missed the weekend after bogeying three of the last five holes.
