The top of the leaderboard at the 2025 Masters features many of the season’s best golfers. While the top tier of competitors shines, several notable names failed to secure a spot for the weekend. Those who did not make the cut at +2 include:

• Russell Henley (+3)
• Dustin Johnson (+3)
• Phil Mickelson (+5)
• Brooks Koepka (+5)
• Sergio Garcia (+4)
• Tony Finau (+4)
• Cameron Young (+7)

Despite a strong showing this season, Henley struggled with a 79 on the first day and could not recover during the second. Brandishing a strong start to the Masters, legends like Bernhard Langer and Fred Couples also fell short in their second rounds, missing the cut by slim margins. This is a scenario golf fans had wished to avoid, particularly at a prestigious tournament like the Masters.
