Here are 12 notable names who missed the cut at the 2024 Procore Championship
NAPA, Calif. -- The FedEx Cup Fall portion of the schedule means the return of the 36-hole cut. Enough of these no-cut events and fields of 70, 50 and 30 during the playoffs. Friday should be cut day at Silverado Resort's North Course and it took a score of 2-under 142 to be among the top 65 and ties to move on to play the weekend.
The cruelty of cut day could be felt in two-time tournament champion Max Homa, who made birdies at Nos. 15-17 to be on the number if he could make par or better at the gettable par-5 18th. However, that was easier said than done and Homa missed a 10-foot par putt. He'll have some extra time to stew over what went wrong before playing in the Presidents Cup in Montreal. He wasn't the only notable player that was sent packing.
Let's take a look at some of the pros who won't have a tee time for the final 36 holes of the 2024 Procore Championship and will have to wait a few weeks for their next chance to compete at the Sanderson Farms Championship.

Kevin Streelman
Streelman was among the first-round leaders after posting 5-under 67 on Thursday. He made 104 feet of putts and noted that he was no longer taking practice strokes before pulling the trigger on the greens. But Friday was a new day and after a birdie at No. 10, his first hole of the day, he made back-to-back double bogeys and then a bogey. He closed with another double and shot 77 to miss the cut. He lost nearly seven strokes to the field in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green.
Streelman needs one more made cut to reach 300 for his career, which would qualify him for an exemption category for players with 300 or more made cuts next season. Sadly, he won't hit that mark in Napa.
Daniel Berger
Berger still is looking to find his game since returning from a back injury that sidelined him for 19 months until the start of the year. He hasn't quite found his old form yet. Berger doesn't have a single top-20 finish this year. He shot 75-72 to miss the cut. In his last seven starts, he's missed five cuts, withdrawn from the Barracuda Championship and finished T-45.
Gary Woodland
Woodland's putter is to blame for his poor showing in wine country. He lost more than three strokes to the field on the greens in both rounds. In the first round, he failed to make a birdie and shot 75. He sprinkled four birdies on the card on Friday but signed for 72.
Woodland, who had brain surgery nearly a year ago, snapped a string of four straight made cuts.
Beau Hossler
The Beau Show had a short run in Napa as Hossler shot 71-72 to miss the 36-hole cut.
It was Hossler's third missed cut in his last four starts. He hit just three fairways on Thursday and lost strokes on the greens. He improved to six fairways on Friday but was done in by a bogey-double-bogey start.
Mike Weir
Weir played this week on the PGA Tour rather the Champions Tour so he could check out Corey Conners, Mackenzie Hughes and Min Woo Lee in person. While those three are in the mix heading into the weekend, Weir failed to make a birdie on Friday and missed the cut. It's his third missed cut on the junior circuit, having also missed the cut at the Masters and RBC Canadian Open.
Kevin Kisner
Kisner is trying his hardest but he can't seem to get off the struggle bus. Kisner shot 74 on Thursday, struggling in SG: Tee to Green (134th of 142). His short game wasn't much of a help either as he was six for 15 in scrambling for the week. It's his second missed cut and 14th overall this season in 19 starts.

Maverick McNealy
McNealy had two rounds he'd like to forget. He shot 75-73 to miss the cut for just the fifth time this season in 22 starts. McNealy is usually one of the top putters on Tour but he ranked 135th in SG: Putting on Thursday and the rest of his game wasn't much better. He lost over five strokes to the field in SG: Tee to Green (132).
Harris English
English got off to a slow start with 74 on Thursday but couldn't get enough putts to drop on Friday. He played bogey-free on Friday but only made two birdies and finished with 11 straight pars. It was just his fourth missed cut in 21 starts this season. English has cooled off since a good start to the season, and hasn't recorded a top-10 finish since the Genesis Invitational in February.
Wyndham Clark
Clark came to Napa with one goal in mind: make sure he didn't go into the Presidents Cup rusty as he did a year ago at the Ryder Cup. Well, he left with only two rounds under his belt and more questions than answers after shooting rounds of 70-76.
Clark had a rollercoaster round on Friday. He made a triple-bogey eight at the fifth hole but birdied three of the first five holes on the back nine to get back to the cutline. But he made a bogey at 16 and a double bogey at 17 to seal his fate. It's his sixth missed cut of the year.
Mark Hubbard
Hubbard had a week of highs and lows. He was in the tournament but then fell out when he forgot to register. Then he shot the low score at the Monday qualifier and he was back in. On Thursday he made nine birdies and a triple bogey and shot 67. Friday, he went the wrong way on the leaderboard, starting with a double bogey and a bogey and eventually shooting 5-over 77.
Hubbard made the cut in his first 19 starts but has hit a rough patch with missed cuts in three of his last four starts with a 36-hole cut.
Eric Cole
It's never fun to miss the cut but it hits hardest when a final-hole bogey is the reason a player has the weekend off. That was Eric Cole's fate in Napa.
Cole, who is secure for next year in the top 50, made a birdie at 17 on Friday to improve to 2 under and sit on the cutline but he proceeded to bogey the par-5 18th and fall to 1-under 143. He shot rounds of 72-71. Cole only hit four fairways each round. His putter, which bailed him out in the first round (No. 15 in SGP), cooled off on Friday (104).
Max Homa
Homa's missed cut is going to sting more than most. He made five back-nine birdies, including three in a row starting at 15 to get to 2 under and the right side of the cutline. But the par-5 18th, which has been the site of some of his finest heroics, bit back. Homa, who was a Presidents Cup captain's pick, missed a 10-foot par putt and signed for 72 and 1-under 143 total.
Homa was one-for-seven in scrambling on Friday. It was his first missed cut since the U.S. Open in June.
