Despite strong performances throughout the season, 12 unexpected players missed the cut for the PGA Tour playoffs. Despite their impressive starts and promising potential, they ultimately failed to secure their spot among the elite golfers competing for the FedEx Cup title. Notable names like Cameron Champ, Matt Kuchar, and Lucas Glover fell short of expectations, leaving fans wondering what went wrong in their quest for playoff glory.
The PGA Tour will present two tournaments concurrently on Sunday, Feb. 12, as part of a marathon finish to a season that has stretched over 10 months and four continents.

The unusual scheduling quirk is the result of a weather-delayed Phoenix Open, which was originally scheduled to end on Monday but was pushed back to Sunday due to rain.

Round 3 at the 2024 PGA Championship
Shane Lowry enters Round 3 with a two-stroke lead, but the chasing pack is closing in. Scottie Scheffler, the world No. 1, is just three strokes back and will be looking to make a run.
Lowry has been in excellent form all week, but he will need to be at his best to hold off Scheffler and the rest of the field. The Irishman has a strong record in majors, having won the 2019 Open Championship, but he has never won a PGA Championship.
Scheffler, meanwhile, is looking to add to his impressive resume. The American has already won four PGA Tour events this season, including the Masters Tournament. He is one of the most in-form players in the world and will be a major threat to Lowry’s lead.
