Round two of the 2026 PGA Championship delivered quite the shake-up at the top of the leaderboard. Unfortunately, several of golf’s biggest names found themselves heading home early after missing the cut.
With Friday’s round complete, the projected cut line settled at 4-over par, cutting the original 156-player field down to the low 70 scorers and ties ahead of Saturday’s moving day.
Unexpectedly, it was Alex Smalley and Maverick McNealy sharing the lead as the PGA Championship heads into the weekend. Neither player was considered among the tournament favorites before the opening round, but both played steady golf over the first two days to climb into position for the biggest weekend of their careers.
Several big names names remain in contention despite sitting a few shots back. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler made the cut at 2-under alongside Justin Thomas and Ludvig Åberg. Meanwhile, major champions Jon Rahm, Patrick Cantlay, and Jason Day sit at 1-under and remain within striking distance entering the weekend.
The cut line also created some tension on Friday afternoon. Xander Schauffele, Brooks Koepka, and Jordan Spieth all narrowly survived at 1-over, keeping their hopes alive for a weekend push.

The list of players missing the cut turned out to be just as surprising as the leaderboard itself.
Among notable names who saw early exits were Bryson DeChambeau at 7-over, Viktor Hovland at 5-over, and Tyrrell Hatton, who also failed to advance. Fan favorites Tommy Fleetwood and Sungjae Im narrowly missed the weekend after finishing at 5-over.
Perhaps the biggest surprise came from Max Homa, who struggled over both rounds and finished well outside the cut line at 12-over par. Veterans Adam Scott and Billy Horschel also failed to qualify for weekend play.
With an unlikely pair atop the leaderboard and many big names still chasing from behind, the stage is set for an unpredictable and exciting weekend at the PGA Championship.
