Genesis Invitational Cut Line - Top Golfer Probability
Tiger Woods - 78.4%
Tiger Woods' play on Friday wasn't pretty, but it looks as though he may have done just enough to make the Genesis Invitational cut line. Yesterday, in the opening round of the tournament he hosts, Woods shot a 1-under par. Today, it was a roller coaster affair that saw him finish 3-over par for the day and +1 for the tournament. That means Tiger Woods is right on the Genesis Invitational projected cut line.
Jason Day - 49.3%
Jason Day is currently sitting at +1 as well, but he's just on the third hole so far today and the course appears to be playing more difficult for the later groups than it did this morning. Day shot +1 in Thursday's opening round and is even on the day today. Day hasn't played in the Genesis Invitational since 2020 when he missed the cut after a brutal 76 in Round 2.
Tony Finau - 74.8%
Tony Finau finished Round 1 at the Genesis Invitational at 1-over par. But, he's started Friday's second round by firing in a birdie and sits at even par for the tournament now. Because of his fast start on Friday, Finau's chances to make the cut have risen from about 71% coming into the round to 74.8% through two holes. Can he keep up with the Genesis Invitational projected cut line? Only time will tell.
Hideki Matsuyama - 10.8%
Hideki Matsuyama's tournament is all but over thanks to a +2 performance today on Friday. Matsuyama was even par through 18 holes yesterday, looking like he'd have a chance to play on the weekend at the Genesis Invitational. Unfortunately for the former Masters champion, he fired a 2-over par in Friday's second round, placing him above the projected +1 cut line. Could he make it at +2? Of course. But the chances are just 10.8% as of now.
Matthew Fitzpatrick - 10.9%
Matthew Fitzpatrick, like fellow former major winner Hideki Matsuyama, has likely played his final hole of golf this week as he heads into the clubhouse at 2-over par at the Genesis Invitational. With leader Keith Mitchell sitting at -9, Fitzpatrick's +2, emphasized by his even-par performance on Friday, looks like it won't be enough to have him playing golf on Friday. However, remember there is a 5.5% chance the Genesis Invitational cut line moves to +2, in which case Fitzpatrick would make the cut.
