AUGUSTA, Ga. — It’s the unkindest cut of all.
Playing only the first two rounds in the Masters – after waiting nearly nine months for the first men’s major championship of the year to arrive and then absorbing the magical setting and all the Southern delicacies at Augusta National Golf Club – is extra painful for those who ply their trade on various professional golf tours around the world.
Geoff Ogilvy, the 2006 U.S. Open champion, echoed his peers’ thoughts when he often said he started to look forward to the next Masters as soon as he drove off Magnolia Lane when that year’s Master was over.
Thus, many of the game’s best players started thinking ahead to the 2023 Masters on Friday after slamming the trunk. The cut came at +4.
The top 50 and ties advanced to weekend play – a total of 52 players. Here are the notables who won’t be playing the weekend at Augusta National.
