These 14 amateurs made 20 cuts during the PGA Tour’s 2024 season

The amateurs shone bright in 2024.

A total of 14 amateurs made 20 cuts during the PGA Tour’s 2024 season.

Luke Clanton of Florida State led the way, having turned the trick at six different events. His first five events ended in with two top 5s.

Neal Shipley made two cuts, both at majors: the Masters and the U.S. Open.

Nick Dunlap, of course, one-upped all the ams in 2024 as he’s the one with a victory, at the American Express back in January. He’s on the very short list of just eight golfers to win a PGA Tour event as an amateur. He later won the Barracuda Championship for his first victory as a professional.

Would-be winnings

Ams don’t get paid if they make the cut or win, of course, but if these guys did pocket the money from the finishing positions they posted, they would have taken home $3,484,280.

Dunlap’s payday at the AmEx would’ve been worth $1.512 million. Clanton’s tie for second at the John Deere would’ve been good for $712,000. If Clanton could’ve cashed in on all six finishes, he’d have won $1,346,313.
