The Chevron Championship is the first women’s Major of the year and, after 36 holes, we have a thrilling leaderboard which is stacked full of LPGA Tour winners.
Amongst the leaders is Nelly Korda, who is going for a fifth straight title, whilst the likes of Atthaya Thitikul, Maja Stark, Anna Nordqvist and recent Augusta National Women’s Amateur winner, Lottie Woad, all occupy the top-10.

However, although a plethora of big names are in contention, a number of big names didn’t make it into the weekend, as conditions at The Club at Carlton Woods produced a two-over-par cutline.
Below, we take a look at the players who missed the cut in Texas, with Major winners and Solheim Cup stars failing to make it into the weekend.

A four-over-par first round of 76 meant that Megan Khang had some work to do on Friday and, after a one-under-par front nine, it seemed the American might be able to make it into the weekend.
However, Khang double bogeyed the 10th and, despite back-to-back birdies on the 14th and 15th, her one-under second round wasn’t enough to make the cut. It is her second missed cut of the year, with her best result being a solo third at the LPGA Drive On Championship.

Like Khang, Jin Young Ko carded a 76 and 71 to miss the weekend, with the former World No.1 missing the cut at the Chevron Championship for the first time in her career.
The South Korean won this tournament back in 2019 but, after a one-under-par second round, Ko misses the first cut of 2024, following two top 20 finishes in two starts.

The US Solheim Cup Captain produced rounds of 74 and 73 for a three-over-par tournament total, as Lewis missed the cut by a single stroke. Missing the Chevron Championship cut in 2022 and 23, the American misses the weekend for a third time in 2024.
