The 2024 Open Championship at Royal Troon saw several top players, including Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, and Bryson DeChambeau, miss the cut. The challenging conditions, with strong winds, resulted in a high cutline of 6-over par.

McIlroy, who was trying to rebound from an opening-round 78, struggled in the second round. He made a triple-bogey 8 on the par-5 fourth hole and ultimately finished at 11-over par, well off the cutline.

I've had 14 holes to deal with everything I've been feeling. After the eight on four I resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn't be here for the weekend.

Woods, who lamented his lack of competitive reps, never got anything going and shot 14-over par (79-77) to miss the cut. This marked his highest opening two rounds at a major since the 2015 U.S. Open.

The missed cuts continue a disappointing major season for McIlroy and Woods. McIlroy is now guaranteed to not have won a major in a full decade, with his last triumph coming in the 2014 PGA Championship. Woods, who was a combined 44-over par in the year’s four majors, will not play again until the unofficial Hero World Challenge in December.
