This is shaping up to be another memorable edition of The Players Championship. Thursday’s first round yielded a leaderboard that features Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Collin Morikawa and Rickie Fowler all in contention to challenge first-round leader J.J. Spaun (-9).
But the drama on Friday will also revolve around this year’s cut line, with a collection of big names and past major winners in danger of missing the weekend at TPC Sawgrass after a lackluster showing in opening-round action. Only the top 65 (and ties) will make the cut at The Players Championship, which features a 144-golfer field this year.
Here are the latest updates on the projected cut line at The Players Championship, who could miss the cut this year and how to watch all the action on-course the rest of the tournament:
