Is there a cut at the Travelers Championship?
No. The Travelers Championship is the last of five signature events on the PGA Tour’s 2026 schedule that do not feature a 36-hole cut. All 72 players in the field get to compete through the weekend.
Scottie Scheffler nearly recorded his second career 59
Scheffler recorded 11 birdies in Friday’s round of 60. He leads by two over Viktor Hovland, who claims he had ‘awesome stuff’ during his round of 61. There was also a 62 on Friday, which was posted by Akshay Bhatia.
Of the 72 golfers in the field, 61 are in red numbers and 64 are at even par or better. For those math-deficient, that means there are just eight golfers over par through 36 holes.
