What's the Latest on the PGA Projected Cut?

I’m really trying to stay updated on the projected cut line for the upcoming PGA Tour events, especially the PGA Championship coming up this week. It seems like every tournament has players fluctuating in and out of the cut line, and I want to get a better grasp of who might be at risk this time.

Here are a few things I’m curious about:

  • Which players are currently sitting just above or below the projected cut?
  • Are there any trends in player performance that could hint at this week’s cut line?
  • How do weather conditions affect players during the tournament, especially as it gets closer to the cut line?

I know some sites provide real-time updates, but any insights or analyses you’ve come across would be really helpful! Let’s discuss players, stats, and any predictions you may have for the cut line.
