What is the 2025 US Open cut line? Player tracker, who could miss projected cut

The 2025 U.S. Open is no cakewalk and can be quite challenging to make it past the cut line and play into the weekend.
Just around 40% of the 156-person field will tee off in the third round as the U.S. Open has one of the tougher cut lines to make than the other majors; only the top 60 players and ties will advance after 36 holes – the end of the second round.

The third major of the year takes place at Oakmont Country Club near Pittsburgh, and the 7,372-yard, par-70 course doesn't give out many freebies. Birdies are hard to come by, so mistake-free golf will likely be required to advance to the third and final rounds.
First-round action is still underway with the second round on June 13, meaning there's plenty of time for golfers to improve or worsen their outlook. Here's what to know about the possible cut line at Oakmont.

While it seems high, the projected cut line is on par with what it's been at the course before. Oakmont last hosted the U.S. Open in 2016, and the cut line was +6. In 2007, the cut line was a dramatic 10+.
