Okay, so I was super curious about this whole “cut” thing at the RBC Heritage golf tournament. I kept seeing it mentioned, but honestly, I wasn’t 100% sure what it meant. So, I decided to figure it out myself, once and for all!
My Deep Dive into the RBC Heritage Cut
First, I fired up my trusty web browser. I started with a simple search. Just typed in “RBC Heritage cut” and hit enter.
Lots of stuff popped up, but I wanted something straightforward. I skipped past the super technical explanations and looked for something that was easier to, get this concept.
Then after reading some news, I finally understood!
- The “cut” is basically a way to narrow down the field of players.
- Not everyone gets to play all four rounds of the tournament.
- After the first two rounds (that’s 36 holes), they check the scores.
- Only the top players (usually the top 65, plus ties) make the cut and get to play the final two rounds.
- Anyone below that line? They’re out. No more tournament for them.
So, to summarize, the tournament is 4 rounds of golf, but not everyone play all 4 rounds. Only the top 65 players after first 2 rounds of golf make the cut and get to play all 4 rounds.
Anyone below that line? Their tournament is done after only 2 rounds of golf.
Think of it like a competition where they eliminate people as it goes on. Only the best of the best make it to the end!
It makes sense now! It’s all about making the weekend rounds more competitive and featuring the top performers. I’m glad I finally took the time to figure this out. Now I can follow the RBC Heritage (and other tournaments) with a much better understanding!
