Proposed Double Cut Method for the PGA and LPGA Tours
| Intended to address effectiveness issues with the Low 65 and ties
cut method currently in use on both tours.

Examples For ... 2023 2024 1976 Florida Citrus Open

Back To Top Of Page

Let us first consider the threshold figure of 65 itself. It is only five places less than the older threshold mark of
70 on the PGA Tour, and five to ten places less than the previous 70 and 75 threshold marks on the LPGA Tour.

As it stands now, the Low 65 and ties threshold will work only when there are a small handful of extra players
who make the 36-hole cut in a given tournament. If, say, five extra players succeed in being among the Low 65
and ties, then this would make for a total of 70 players advancing to the weekend.

However, on occasion, a very large number of extra players may successfully make the 36-hole cut, resulting
in a much larger weekend field. For example, we'll say that in a given tournament 25 players are tied for 64th
place after 36 holes. This scenario would result in a total post-cut weekend field of 88 players.

The major differences between a field of 88 and a field of just 70 is that an 88 player field requires more tee times,
an earlier morning start for the first groups out, and possibly shorter tee time intervals between each group.
By themselves, the shorter tee time intervals may very well have an adverse effect on the overall pace of play.

One other side effect of each tour's current Low 65 and ties threshold is that, in most cases, fewer players
are able to earn both money and playoff-finale points. In some cases, this may have an adverse effect on
a player's overall standing for either a playoff-finale spot and/or exempt status for the next year.

Presented below is a proposed double-cut method for both the PGA and LPGA tours. Other tours are most
welcome to give it equal consideration, if so desired. You are likely to guess correctly that the double-cut
proposal is designed to work with modified prize money distributions, not being shown here, which have
minimum prize breakdowns of either 72 or 80 places. This much can be said about the modified distributions--
while the individual place prize assignments may differ in one way or another from actual current distributions,
the current upsurge in tournament purses would make such differences nearly un-noticable.

Low 72 (or 80) / Low 50 Double Cut Method for PGA, LPGA Tours NOTE: This particular cut method has --NOT-- been adopted by either tour. 36-hole Cut # 1 -- to the Low 72 (or 80) and ties Cut # 2 -- to the Low 50 and ties The Low 50 and ties will finish out the remaining holes of play (36, PGA Tour / 18 or 36, LPGA Tour). Those among the Low 72 (or 80) and ties, but not among the Low 50 and ties, will receive official finish credit, along with the appropriate amounts of money and points, both of these also being official. If any player who sucessfully makes the Low 50 and ties is unable to finish the remaining holes of play (36, PGA Tour / 18 or 36, LPGA Tour), regardless of the reason, then their status will be reverted to that of Low 72 (or 80) and ties. Any such player in this scenario will receive official finish credit, along with the appropriate amounts of money and points, both also official. Using actual event as example .... 2023 Wells Fargo Championship (PGA Tour) Quail Hollow G.C. (par-71 / 7,538 yds) $ 20,000,000 // $ 3.60-million, 1st prize Actual 36-hole cut, 68 professionals at 1-under-141 or better using Low-65 and ties ...... 14 pros alone at 1-under, tied for 55th Hypothetical 36-hole cut, 80 professionals at even-par-142 or better first using 14 pros alone at 1-under, tied for 55th Low 72 and ties ** ......... 12 pros alone at even-par, tied for 69th ** same results with Low 80 and ties Next using 54 professionals at 2-under-140 or better Low 50 and ties ............ 17 pros alone at 2-under, tied for 38th

LPGA Tour: Prize Money Only an older standard is available here

LPGA Prize Money -- Special Note
Effective in 2023, the LPGA has changed its tournament cut rules, with a new threshold mark of Low 65 and
ties. This is down five places from its previous standard of Low 70 and ties, and down ten places from an
older standard of Low 75 and ties. The Low 75 and ties standard was previously used in conjunction with
the base prize money distribution method presented below.

There is now no pre-set or base distribution method employed in conjunction with the Low 65 and ties threshold,
with the exception of first prize, which remains at 15% of the advertised total purse. Also, the actual total purse
amount of any given regular LPGA event is only 94% of the advertised purse, the 6% difference being used
for administrative purposes. So, if a regular LPGA tournament was to advertise its purse as, say - $ 2,000,000 -
then the actual purse would be $ 1,880,000, with the remaining $ 120,000 used for adminstrative purposes.

Also, unlike the PGA Tour, the LPGA does not have a reserve fund to dip into when more than 65 professionals
complete all 54 or 72 holes of play. So to compensate for any extra pros beyond the 65th, the LPGA simply
siphons off little bits from the pre-existing 2nd thru 65th place prizes.

In major tournaments, such as the U.S. Women's Open or the Evian Masters, as well as limited field and
match play events, different prize distribution methods may be employed.
