I love the cut - it's one of many things that separate TGC Tours from the rest. It serves as a first target for those who will probably never win and a great source of conversation on the forums. 100% agree, for us mid and lower level players on each tour, the cut is what I am here for. I will never win a tournament, I will prob never get a top 30 (with the possible exception of a week when the top players are in an invite only event). Making the cut is the difference in earning valuable FedEx or Order of Merit points, World Ranking points, and bragging rights. Out of the 5 weeks that we have played this tour, 3 weeks I was on the bubble for the cut, and watched the boards progress with great interest and made it. 1 week I played poorly the first two rounds, and just missed the cut, (but played the final two rounds anyway just in case, and actually played better LOL), then there was 1 week were I made the cut comfortably. To me making the cut is my victory, and without a cut, I would feel like I am just the guy that finishes 72nd out of 135 and after a while, my friend that would become pointless. Back to this weeks event, looks like 22 players are left to post any scores. If the past few weeks are any indication, there will be anywhere from 6 to 8 players who WD. So that makes about 12 players left to start and 5 left to post round 2. Therefore: -15 is a mortal lock for the cut -14 almost certainly will be around for the weekend -13 barring a miracle should be okay -12 REALLY pray for wind -11 and below - get ready for Hidden Lakes

All in favor of the cut. If you're not playing well enough to be in the hunt for the win, it's exciting to shoot for making the cut. Everyone's goals are different just like in real life golf. Take a guy who never makes the cut, the first time he shoots well and makes the cut will feel like winning the tourney to him.
