The cut for the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club, after the first two rounds (36 holes), is set to include the top 60 players and ties. The cut line for this year was projected and finalized around +7 over par due to the challenging course conditions, which is consistent with the U.S. Open's history of higher cut lines. Notable tough cutlines for this event include +5 at Pinehurst in 2024 and +6 during Oakmont's previous hosting in 2016. Specifically, the cut line reflects the score that the 60th best player (including ties) is at or below. In 2025, it was finalized at +7, meaning players at +7 or better made the cut to advance to the weekend rounds. Summary:

  • Field starts with 156 players.
  • Top 60 players and ties make the cut.
  • 2025 cut line at Oakmont: +7 over par.
  • No 10-stroke rule as it was removed previously to keep the cut strict.
  • This cut line is typical given Oakmont's notoriously difficult setup and the U.S. Open's demanding course conditions.

This means any player who scored +7 or better after the first two rounds of the 2025 U.S. Open made the cut to play on the weekend. Players worse than +7 did not advance. This cut line is relatively high compared to typical PGA Tour events, reflecting the difficulty of the U.S. Open and especially the 2025 Oakmont setup. If you want details about how many players made it or about specific players near the cut, I can provide that as well.
