BMW PGA Championship Cut Falls at Top 65 and Ties at Wentworth

The BMW PGA Championship cut at Wentworth Club falls at the top 65 players and ties after 36 holes, sending roughly half the field home before the weekend rounds of the DP World Tour flagship event.

Where does the cut usually land?

The score needed to survive typically falls between one-over and three-under par, depending on conditions on the West Course. Because the cut takes the top 65 and ties, the exact number of players who advance can shift slightly depending on how many are tied on the number. The tournament is one of five Rolex Series events on the DP World Tour schedule, carrying prize money, world ranking points and Race to Dubai points for everyone who plays into the weekend.

Why did players start from two tees this week?

This year's tournament used a two-tee start for the first time, with groups going off both the 1st and 9th holes over the opening two rounds. Organizers added the format after six extra players were added to the field, widening it beyond the usual number of starters. The weekend reverts to a single-tee start from the 1st, with groups reduced from threes to twos for the final two rounds.
