What Is The Definition Of Cut In Golf?
A cut in golf has two possible meanings:
1. A cut is a type of shot that moves along a curved trajectory toward the target. The ball curves from left to right for right-handed players and from right to left for left-handed players. This type of shot is very similar to a fade shot, but cuts usually fly higher through the air. It also features a less pronounced curve compared to a slice.
2. A cut is the elimination of some players partway through a tournament. The exact rules for a cut can vary for each tournament, and some competitions may have more than one cut. For example, the U.S. Open makes one cut after 36 holes in which all golfers ranked in the top 60, including those tied for 60th place, continue to play (“make the cut”). Those outside the top 60 are cut from the field (“miss the cut”).
