Okay, so, I was super curious about this whole “cut” thing at the Wells Fargo Championship. You know, like, do players get kicked out after a certain point? I heard some tournaments do that, and it’s a big deal because it changes who gets to play in the later rounds.
So, I started digging around. First thing I did was just a basic search about the tournament itself. Turns out, it’s a “Signature Event.” I don’t know what does it mean, but I think it’s a big deal.
Then I started looking specifically about this “cut” business. I found out that the Wells Fargo Championship is a “no-cut” event. That means, once you’re in, you’re in. Everyone who starts the tournament gets to play all four rounds. No one is getting the boot halfway through!
I also found out that this year there are only 70 players in the field, which is kind of small for a big tournament. But since there’s no cut, everyone of those 70 guys gets to play all 72 holes.
Here’s what I figured out from reading some stuff:
- No Cut: This is the big one. Everyone plays all four rounds.
- 70 Players: That’s the approximate size of the field this year.
- Stroke Play: That’s just the fancy way of saying they count every shot.
- Charity: Seems like they’ve been raising money for charity since 2003, which is pretty cool.
- Justin Thomas: He is making his sixth start at the Wells Fargo Championship.
So, there you have it. I went from not knowing anything about cuts in golf to understanding that the Wells Fargo Championship is a no-cut event. It was a fun little research project. I guess the big takeaway is that all the golfers get a fair shot to win, which is how it should be, right?
It’s actually kind of cool that they don’t do cuts. It means you get to see all your favorite players all weekend, not just the top performers after two rounds. I am glad to know that.
