Xander Schauffele ready for Oakmont's tough test
Xander Schauffele calls Oakmont a true test, where hitting fairways and greens is the only way to survive.
USGA
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.

US Open projected cut line
As of 4:30 p.m. ET on June 12, the projected cut line for the 2025 U.S. Open is +6, according to the predictive model used by Datagolf.com. The site notes there is a 36.2% chance the cut line is 6-over-par. Of course, the cut line could shift. Datagolf.com gives a 34.9% chance the cut line is +7, and a 13.2% chance it goes to +5.
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+.

Bayern Munich's English forward #09 Harry Kane gestures during the Club World Cup 2025 Group C football match between Germany's Bayern Munich and New Zealand's Auckland City at the TQL stadium in Cincinnati on June 15, 2025. More PAUL ELLIS/AFP via Getty Images How to Watch Bayern Munich vs Boca Juniors Date: Friday, June 20, 2025 Time: 9:00 PM ET Stream: DAZN (WATCH FOR FREE) Bayern Munich and Boca Juniors will take the pitch on Friday, June 20th, at Hard Rock Stadium in this FIFA Club World Cup match. Bayern asserted their dominance over Group C by thrashing Auckland City in their Club World Cup opener 10-0. They are the only team in the group that received maximum points, and it would be no surprise if they are able to once again pick up a win and guarantee themselves a spot in the knockout stage. Harry Kane is the man for Bayern, and somehow he failed to score despite the onslaught they put on Auckland. Expect him to get right in this one and try to find the back of the net here. If Boco Junior can at least force a draw, they will have a great chance to advance, considering their last match of the group stage is against Auckland, but that is a big if. This is a great Club World Cup matchup; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
