Ahead of the 2024 PGA Championship, many of the world’s best players appeared to have found their best form at the right time, making for the prospect of an intriguing second Major of the year.
At the halfway stage of the Valhalla tournament, that is certainly playing out, with big names including Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele and Scottie Scheffler all heading into the weekend eyeing realistic chances of lifting the Wanamaker Trophy on Sunday evening.
However, for many other notable names, the last two days have not been nearly as satisfying, with some even failing to make it as far as Moving Day. Here are 10 of the biggest names to miss the cut at the PGA Championship.
