1.08 Reduction of Field Size (Cuts)

Last updated: Wednesday, December 31, 2025 - 17:31
  1. The field may be reduced (cut) for a semi-finals or finals at the discretion of the Tournament Director, provided that the cut line, either as a percentage or number of places, is announced prior to opening player registration for the event. The only exception may be due to the PDGA Mid-Event Suspension & Cancellation Policy being invoked to finish an event, or as outlined in 6.03.F.
  2. Making the cut line at or above the payout line is highly recommended.
  3. Unless otherwise announced in advance by the Tournament Director, all ties for a semi-final or final cut will be broken by the use of a tiebreaker (see 1.09).
  4. Any eligible player who chooses not to participate in a semi-final or final shall receive ranking and cash or prizes equal to finishing last in the remaining field.
  5. Players who do not make the cut have completed all tournament rounds. Any further competition between those players is unofficial and should not be reported or affect the published results (see also 1.09.E).
