The winner stands to earn a healthy cash reward despite The Open lagging behind the other three majors for prize money

The 2025 Open Championship continues on Saturday, July 19 with the third round taking place at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Portrush, Northern Ireland.

Live projected cut line updates from Round 2 of the 2025 Open Championship. Some of the world's best golfers have work to do Friday to make the cut.

The 2025 Open Championship is well underway at Royal Portrush. Here's what to know about the projected cut line at the 2025 Open Championship and which players will be fighting to stay in contention:

There is a five-way tie for the lead after the first round of the 153rd Open Championship with Jacob Skov Olesen, Haotong Li, Matt Fitzpatrick, Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Harris English shooting 4-under 67 Thursday at Royal Portrush. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler (68) is one back with home favorite Rory McIlroy (70) three off the pace.

Min Woo Lee was not cooking much in majors this year, either. He missed the cut at the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and The Open with a 49th-place finish at Augusta his best result. He went 74-73 over his first two days. Quite a letdown after three Top 30 finishes in majors last year.
