The first two rounds of the PGA Championship have been completed, with the 156-player field now cut down to 82. The 15 players tied at +4, such as Shane Lowry and Luke Donald, have made the weekend by just one stroke.

The first two rounds of the PGA Championship are in the books, and the 156-player field has been trimmed to just 82. The cut line fell at +4, with 15 players—including Shane Lowry and Luke Donald—sneaking into the weekend by a single stroke. But for everyone at +5 or worse, it's time to pack their bags at Aronimink Golf Club.

Let's take a closer look at the 10 biggest names who won't be teeing it up for the final two rounds, starting with Bryson DeChambeau. The big-hitting star finished at +7 after two frustrating days, and even a late surge of three consecutive birdies to close his second round wasn't enough to save him. It's a tough blow for DeChambeau, who came in with high expectations.

Tommy Fleetwood (+5) is another marquee name heading home early. The Englishman birdied his final hole but still came up one stroke short, adding to what has been a disappointing 2026 season. He's not alone among European Ryder Cup stars, either. Viktor Hovland (+4), Robert MacIntyre (+5), and Tyrrell Hatton (+6) all missed the cut, leaving a significant void in the leaderboard.

On the American side, 2025 US Open champion J.J. Spaun (+6) exited after a six-over-par second round. Russell Henley (+5), Akshay Bhatia (+5), and Keegan Bradley (+6) also struggled to find their rhythm at Aronimink. And it was a weekend to forget for former world number five Max Homa, who carded rounds of 75 and 77 to finish at a brutal +12.

With so many big names out, the weekend promises plenty of drama—and new opportunities for those who survived the cut. Stay tuned as the chase for the Wanamaker Trophy heats up!
