  I've never played in something like this before, so what is the target score do you suppose for making the cut.

  I have a 64 so far.

  Not to sound hard on you, but 64 won't cut it. Your gonna have to shoot 58 and under every round to even have the slightest chance.

  Nah, he'll make the cut with 64's...isn't the cut at 50%?

  It's actually the top 50% make the cut so 64 followed by another 64 will be plenty good enough to make it to rounds 3 & 4. I would guess around 20000 entries and you have to take in to account it's from the back tee's so a lot of players won't have good enough equipment to shoot better than 70 let alone 64. Just keep an eye on what position you are and as long as you stay in the top 10000 you'll be fine.

  The cut line in the big summer tourneys was around 80 - don't forget it's one learderboard for all tiers. 2x Par should be more than safe for the 50% cut, if any in effect.

  58 was about the cut in the WGT US Open, allowing only 100 or 200 players to pass.

  Why do they not have this tier based? Just makes this another elite of elite tourney.

  Can you imagine the uproar?

  I knew that was coming. I just can't get over how good people are at this game. I put in a lot of time and effort and it's just mind boggling how good people do it.

  Players can put a lot of time into the game and nor progress at all. Most of the time for that is players aren't learning from their mistakes. If they hid a bad shot, they won't remember to adjust for the next time they see the same shot. It's a trial and error based thing.

  99% of the leader board have r11 irons. It's gotta mean something too.
