Some big names will miss out on playing this weekend. Augusta National’s conditions yesterday put some players in a hole too deep to dig out of on Friday.

The sun is shining in Augusta, Georgia on Friday, but don’t let that Georgia sunshine fool ya. It’s windy and it’s going to get worse on Friday as players grind to make up some ground on Bryson DeChambeau, Max Homa and Scottie Scheffler. Conditions on Friday are sunny and warm, but players and patrons are looking to the sky and the top of the trees to see which way the wind is blowing. We’ll be watching golf’s greatest players do their best to try to make the cut and carry on playing into the weekend.
It won’t be easy for some of the top players in the game to bounce back after getting beaten up by Augusta National on Thursday. We expected to see some veteran Masters champions at the bottom and that’s where Fred Couples (+9) and José María Olazabal (+5) are. Who we didn’t expect to see missing the cut are Dustin Johnson (+13), Brian Harman (+9), Jordan Spieth (+9) and Viktor Hovland (+9). Tiger Woods finished at 1-over par and will be playing this weekend.
